Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (NASDAQ: MIGI) (“Mawson”), a digital infrastructure provider, is pleased to provide an ASIC Bitcoin Miner shipment, deployment and operational update.

Mawson has now received the final shipment of A1246 ASIC Bitcoin Miners from Canaan, with the final batch of orders placed in 2021 being deployed across the company’s operations in the coming months.

Current Bitcoin and broader market movements has seen ASIC Bitcoin Miner pricing fall significantly, placing Mawson in a strong position to acquire new ASIC Bitcoin Miners at attractive prices at the appropriate time.

Mawson’s Hosting Co-location business continues to scale up, with over 56 megawatts rapidly deployed over the last 3 months, providing an additional revenue stream for the company over and above Mawson’s Bitcoin Self-Mining operations.

Mawson’s Australian operations are expected to be fully operational by the end of June, with approximately 5,376 ASIC Bitcoin Miners in place at site, currently operating at 0.2 Exahash, expected to rise to 0.4 Exahash by June 30, producing approximately 1.7 Bitcoin per day from this facility alone based on current network difficulty.

Mawson also this month announced it is to become a 33% shareholder of Tasmania Data Infrastructure Pty Ltd (“TDI”), where Mawson has sold approximately 1975 ASIC Bitcoin Miners and will provide a license for TDI to utilize Mawson’s Modular Data Center and associated technology in exchange for 33% of the equity in TDI. TDI is developing a large scale, 100% renewable energy Bitcoin Mining Facility in Tasmania, Australia. Site works are expected to begin in Q3 2022.

James Manning, CEO and Founder of Mawson, said, "Having now received the final shipment of A1246 ASIC Bitcoin Miners from Canaan, we are now in a position to acquire new Bitcoin Miners at low prices at the appropriate time. This flexibility puts us in a solid position to take advantage of market conditions as they unfold. Our Hosting Co-location has been the focus of the current quarter, we now shift that focus to growing our Self-Mining operations sensibly.”
