Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - January 12, 2022) - HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: HBF) (the "Company" or "HIVE") is clarifying its January 10, 2022 news release "HIVE Blockchain Presents December 2021 Production and Calendar Year 2021 Figures".
In HIVE's news release dated January 10, 2022, we understated certain aspects of our 2021 crypto production.
The news release stated that "in summary Total Bitcoin Equivalent mined was 3,222 based on BTC/ETH/ETC." This was incorrect due to a typo.
The total Bitcoin Equivalent mined by HIVE in 2021 was 4,032. This takes into consideration the Bitcoin, ETH, and ETC mined by HIVE during calendar year 2021.
Here is a summary of the primary correction to the total Bitcoin Equivalent mined for calendar year 2021.
- Original press release: 3,222 BTC Equivalent
- Actual number: 4,032 BTC Equivalent
About HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd.
HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company with a green energy and ESG strategy.
HIVE is a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry. As a company whose shares trade on a major stock exchange, we are building a bridge between the digital currency and blockchain sector and traditional capital markets. HIVE owns state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where we source only green energy to mine on the cloud and HODL both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its ETH and BTC coin mining rewards. Our shares provide investors with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining, as well as a portfolio of cryptocurrencies such as ETH and BTC. Because HIVE also owns hard assets such as data centers and advanced multi-use servers, we believe our shares offer investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency space.
