AgriFORCE Launches Tri-Pillar Strategy to Power the Future of Digital Infrastructure

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (“AgriFORCE” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: AGRI) today announced a transformative tri-pillar growth strategy aimed at capitalizing on the accelerating global demand for computational power. This strategic framework focuses on three key areas: Bitcoin treasury development, modular compute infrastructure, and integration with scalable, off-grid energy systems.

“In a world where AI, blockchain, and edge networks are driving exponential compute needs, energy has become the new digital currency,” said Jolie Kahn, CEO of AgriFORCE. “Our mission is simple: secure the energy, and the compute will follow. This strategy advances our already laid out infrastructure while unlocking long-term value through intelligent power monetization.”

1. Bitcoin Treasury: Building a Strategic Digital Reserve
AgriFORCE has begun accumulating Bitcoin through self-mining and intends to follow a dual approach also focusing on direct market acquisition. In the past seven months, the company has mined 7 BTC (valued at approximately $750,000). Its strategy includes:

- Allocating up to 50% of capital raised toward Bitcoin purchases

- Retaining up to 50% of mined Bitcoin in long-term treasury

- Creating a blended reserve cost by combining low-cost acquisition and in-house production

This approach strengthens AgriFORCE’s balance sheet while ensuring both liquidity and upside exposure in the digital asset space.

2. Compute Infrastructure: Scaling with Energy-First Design
AgriFORCE currently operates three mining campuses across Alberta and Ohio, delivering roughly 6 MW of capacity and 0.17 EH/s of hash power. The company is targeting 1 EH/s by the end of Q1 2026, supported by:

- A strategic partnership with BlueFlare Energy™ Solutions Inc.

- Access to over 50 MW of secured natural gas with upward potential across multiple sites in Alberta

- Deployment of mobile, modular gas-to-power units for off-grid scalability

- A development pipeline expected to exceed 100 MW by 2026

Jolie Kahn added, “Our model inverts traditional infrastructure development — we convert stranded gas into compute power, activating new sites in weeks, not years.”

3. Future-Ready Systems: From Bitcoin to AI and Edge Compute
AgriFORCE’s modular architecture extends beyond crypto mining, offering compute capabilities tailored for AI, edge computing, and sovereign data solutions. Key capabilities include:

- AI inference in latency-critical environments

- Decentralized cloud and edge hosting

- Private, off-grid compute services for telecom and industrial clients

This diversification expands revenue potential and mitigates long-term risk across the digital infrastructure spectrum.

The Energy-Compute Nexus: A Strategic Edge
“At AgriFORCE, energy isn’t a constraint — it’s our advantage,” said Chris Polimeni, CFO. “As energy becomes the limiting factor for compute expansion, we’ve positioned ourselves to lead — not follow — in scalable infrastructure.”

About AgriFORCE
AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI) is a publicly traded infrastructure innovator deploying energy-first digital asset platforms across Bitcoin, AI, and edge computing ecosystems. By converting underutilized natural gas into modular, high-efficiency compute environments, AgriFORCE is redefining how energy fuels the digital age.
