Mawson Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location installed operational capacity at approximately 3.5 Exahash as at end of July, expected to rise to approximately 3.7 Exahash by end of August 2022.

Bitcoin Self-Mining Update:

In July Mawson produced 90 Bitcoin, as the company participated in its Energy Demand Response (“EDR”) Program, resulting in lower Bitcoin production as a result of participation in the energy curtailment program
The EDR program generated an estimated $1.8M in unaudited revenue. $1.8M is equal to approximately 84 Bitcoin (assuming the July average Bitcoin price of $21,539)
Mawson’s participation in its EDR program generated revenue, and in addition lowered overall costs of production
July average hash rate at approximately 0.7 Exahash, with an installed operational capacity of 1.7 Exahash
Mawson Self-Mining delivered and fully paid for operational capacity at approximately 2.3 Exahash, anticipated to be online in Q4, 2022¹

Hosting Co-location Update:

Mawson Hosting Co-location installed capacity at 1.8 Exahash (equating to approximately 54 megawatts) as at end of July
Hosting Co-location expected to rise to approximately 2.0 Exahash (64 megawatts) as at the end of August, as Mawson continues deployment
Hosting Co-location continues to be a profitable business, with major hosting customer Celsius Mining LLC making a payment for July Hosting Co-location services in August as anticipated
Mawson will continue its focus on Hosting Co-location services, as it provides an additional revenue stream for the company, paid in USD, in addition to Mawson’s Bitcoin Self-Mining revenue and Energy Demand Response Revenue.

Energy Demand Response:

In response to movements in energy markets Mawson is actively engaging in Energy Demand Response Program at its operations, which involve curtailed uptime in exchange for energy demand response revenue and avoided energy costs. When energy prices are low, Mawson engages in Bitcoin Mining and generates revenue by selling Self-Mined Bitcoin daily, as it has from inception. When energy prices are high, and where available, Mawson engages in Energy Demand Response Programs, receiving revenue and reducing overall energy costs.
In the month of July, Mawson generated unaudited revenue of approximately $1.8M from these activities. $1.8M is equal to approximately 84 Bitcoin (assuming the July average Bitcoin price of $21,539).

Operational Update:

In July Mawson continued its operational deployments and continued its participation in its Energy Demand Response Program. Mawson now has over 44,000 ASIC Bitcoin Miners deployed at its facilities across its Self-Mining and Hosting Co-location businesses, which is anticipated to be operating at 5.3 Exahash by Q4, 2022.²

James Manning, CEO and Founder of Mawson, said, “In July we continued the deployment of our self-mining and hosting co-location businesses and participated over the course of the month in our Energy Demand Response Program, which generated significant revenue in conjunction with reducing our costs of production. As a result of participation in this program, we curtailed approximately 11,182 MWh in July, enabling Mawson to direct energy back into the grid in times of need and high energy costs for the community.”

^1,2 Assumes all equipment deployed and 100% online, plus the construction of all contracted sites on time, actual results are likely to vary in a negative manner. Construction delays are common and it is rare for all equipment to be deployed and 100% online, however accurate historical downtime averages are difficult to calculate and also may not provide an accurate picture due to differences moving forward. Investors should consider all risk factors related to uptime when considering these figures, which are a best case scenario.
