Effective July 12, 2024, approximately 2,900 mining machines (“Miners”) were installed and deployed at a site in Oklahoma owned and operated by Arthur Mining under our previously announced strategic collaboration with Arthur Mining, while an additional 1,000 Miners that were active at June month-end were moved in July from a different Oklahoma site to a warehouse for redeployment.

Bruce M. Rodgers, Chairman and CEO of LM Funding, stated, "Our mining operations for June 2024 reflect the timely ending of several unfavorable hosting contracts as of May 31, 2024, which allows us to reposition our Miners to lower cost sites. We were able to redeploy and energize approximately 3,000 Miners to the Arthur Oklahoma hosting site in July 2024 and currently anticipate that the remaining Miners will be redeployed to other lower-cost hosting sites over approximately the next four months. In addition, we have entered into a non-binding term sheet with a potential lender regarding a secured non-convertible loan facility of up to $5.0 million that would be used to acquire additional Miners, and if such loan is consummated, it would have a maturity date of 2 years from the closing of the loan.”

The Company estimates that the value of its 160.5 Bitcoin holdings on June 30, 2024, was approximately $10.2 million, based on an estimated June 15, 2024, BTC price of $63,750. However, under the new accounting standards effective for 2024, the Company will revalue its Bitcoin holdings to the quarter-end BTC market value each quarter.
