RETRANSMISSION: HIVE Increasing Hashpower By 585 PH/s By Buying 6,500 High Performance Bitcoin Miners
This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s prospectus supplement dated February 2, 2021 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated January 27, 2021.
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – October 21, 2021) – HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: HBF) (the “Company” or “HIVE”) is excited to announce the purchase of 6,500 next generation Bitcoin miners.
These new machines have an aggregate hash power of 585 Petahash per second (PH/s). The integration of these miners into HIVE’s systems will be made in tranches over the next 130 days. They will be placed in existing facilities, and in our newly constructed data centres at our campus in New Brunswick, Canada.
Next Generation Miner Expansion
This new equipment sourced from a top global manufacturer is expected to be received and in operation by the end of February 2022 in 3 tranches, with 3,000 miners in December 2021, 3,100 miners in January 2022 and 400 miners in February 2022.
At the current difficulty and Bitcoin price these purchased miners will generate approximately an additional 3.7 Bitcoin per day, or equivalent to an additional US$250,000 in daily income, or US$7,500,000 in monthly run rate income. Bitcoin continues to have a daily volatility of plus or minus 6% and investors should be aware of this volatility. It is a high risk, high reward investment.
Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of HIVE stated “We are pleased to be building on our strategic alliances with leading ASIC manufacturer Canaan to achieve our goals and drive value for our shareholders, with executing on a transaction that increases our cash flow and green mining capacity. Frank continued, “HIVE currently has approximately 1.2 Exahash per second (EH/s) of Bitcoin mining capacity, and with this new purchase, HIVE’s Bitcoin ASIC pipeline will be at 2 EH/s by December 2021, and 3 EH/s by March 2022. In addition to this, we are expanding our current active Ethereum mining capacity from approximately 4,000 Gigahash per second (GH/s), to 6,000 GH/s in new facilities in Sweden.”
This announcement is part of our continuing strategy to increase our bitcoin mining capacity. HIVE intends to continue utilizing cash flow to make opportunistic investments in ASIC and GPU next generation mining equipment that can provide positive gross mining margins to generate the highest cash flow per share returns on invested capital.
HODL Strategy
We continue to HODL our Bitcoin production. This new production along with our monthly deliveries of previously announced miners will quickly accelerate building up our Bitcoin reserves. Presently we hold 1,266 Bitcoin in custodial wallets. Our goal of two Exahash (2 EH/s) of pure Bitcoin mining, without factoring in attractive cash flow from Ethereum production conversion, by the end of this calendar year.

- Establishing actionable frameworks to advance precision medicine and longevity science
- The declaration highlights the impact longevity and precision medicine can have on supporting healthy communities, and engages leaders to work towards actionable solutions, drive consensus among global peers, and invest in long-term solutions
- It brings together leading healthcare and academic institutions to redefine and improve health outcomes while aligning on key global healthcare priorities
ABU DHABI, UAE, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — A groundbreaking ‘Declaration on Longevity and Precision Medicine’ was launched at Abu Dhabi Global Health Week (ADGHW), marking a historic milestone in the quest to transform healthcare delivery and research worldwide.
As the first initiative of its kind, and developed in collaboration with leading international health organisations, academic institutions, and industry pioneers, the declaration establishes key principles to accelerate the advancement of precision medicine and longevity science.
Speaking at the launch, H.E. Mansoor Ibrahim Al Mansoori, Chairman of the Department of Health – Abu Dhabi (DoH) stated: “Healthy populations lead to healthy communities, stronger social cohesion, and fuels economic growth. This declaration unites global leaders to harness emerging technologies responsibly and deliver the benefits of precision medicine to all. Because health knows no boundaries, we are working together towards actionable and long-term solutions.”
Developed in collaboration with experts worldwide, the declaration aims to drive the adoption of personalised care and promote research into extending healthy lifespans. It highlights the urgency of addressing the widening healthspan-lifespan gap, which currently stands at nearly a decade globally.
The declaration comes at a critical time as the World Health Organization projects the global population aged 60 and older will double to 2.1 billion by 2050. Concurrently, the precision medicine market is expected to grow from $81 billion in 2023 to over $175 billion by 2030.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is rapidly emerging as a regional and global leader in the longevity market, driven by pioneering regulatory frameworks, investments in precision medicine, and groundbreaking initiatives such as the world’s first licensed Healthy Longevity Medicine Centre. From $19 billion in 2020, the UAE’s longevity market is estimated to reach $32 billion by 2026.
The declaration outlines bold commitments to advance longevity science, artificial intelligence (AI), driven diagnostics, and personalised therapeutics. It sets forth six key pillars: advancing research and innovation, enhancing collaboration and knowledge-sharing, investing in education and workforce development, advocating for supportive policy and regulation, upholding ethics and responsible practices and engaging the public about longevity research and its implications for health and society.
Signatories who convened at ADGHW to formalise their commitment which was led by DoH included, M42, Masdar City, PureHealth, Illumina, NYU Abu Dhabi, University of Pennsylvania, Aldar, Children’s National Hospital, Burjeel, Children Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Institute for Healthier Living Abu Dhabi (IHLAD).
PwC Middle East, a strategic partner in the initiative, highlighted the global significance of this declaration in advancing global healthcare priorities. Lina Shadid, Health Industries Leader, PwC Middle East stated: “The declaration on longevity and precision medicine provides a global blueprint for integrating AI, genomics, and precision healthcare into mainstream medical practice and within the health ecosystem, to accelerate the adoption of life-changing medical innovations worldwide.
The declaration reflects Abu Dhabi’s ongoing commitment to shaping the future of health through knowledge-sharing, investment in research, and the integration of emerging technologies. By convening global experts and institutions, DoH is ushering a new era of precision medicine —one that prioritises personalised and preventative care, and enhances quality of life for populations worldwide.
Governments, health organisations and relevant stakeholders worldwide are encouraged to sign this declaration. For more information, please visit: https://www.adghw.com/
ADGHW is a major government initiative from DoH and serves as a platform for innovation and collaboration under the theme ‘Towards Longevity: Redefining Health and Well-being.’ It places a strong emphasis on community-driven health and well-being, with a proactive approach centred around preventive, personalised, and holistic care.

Yarbo Secures $27M+ Series B Funding to Accelerate Global Growth, Innovation, and Ecosystem Expansion
NEW YORK, April 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Yarbo, the world’s first year-round multipurpose intelligent yard robot, has successfully closed its Series B funding round, raising approximately $27M USD. The round was backed by a group of strategic and financial investors, bolstering Yarbo’s vision of reimagining how the world handles outdoor work – one season at a time.
This fresh injection of capital will turbocharge Yarbo’s ability to scale mass production, enhance supply chain resilience, and deepen investment in R&D, fuelling faster product optimisation and iteration. The company also plans to accelerate talent acquisition, strengthen liquidity, and push forward with pre-IPO planning as it sets its sights on global expansion and long-term market leadership.
A Decade of Innovation, One Yard at a Time
Founded in 2015, Yarbo began life as Snowbot: targeting the infamously tough task of snow removal, a long-standing pain point for homeowners. Since then, the company has transformed from a niche robotics brand into a global category leader in outdoor automation, now operating under the Yarbo name.
With its signature “1+N” modular design, Yarbo offers year-round functionality powered by one intelligent core robot and a growing family of interchangeable modules. From snow blowing in winter, to lawn mowing in summer, to leaf blowing in autumn, Yarbo has become a household name for those who’d rather relax in their gardens than maintain them.
In 2022, Yarbo’s crowdfunding campaign raised over $3.45M USD, and by 2024, its own direct-to-consumer full-payment pre-order campaign generated 6,000+ orders. With momentum continuing to build, Yarbo expects 4–5x sales growth in 2025, supported by expansion across North America, Europe, Japan, and Australia.
New Trimmer Module Nears Mass Production
Hot off the back of a successful Spring Sale & Robotic Trimmer Launch livestream in early April – where Yarbo moved 702 total units, including 284 trimmers, and raked in over $850,000 in sales within 2 hours – the new Trimmer Module is fast approaching mass production.
Designed to tackle edges, tight spots, and other areas your mower can’t reach, the Trimmer expands Yarbo’s spring and summer capabilities, perfectly complementing the Lawn Mower and Blower modules.
Yarbo’s modular expansion doesn’t stop there. Future modules are in development to cover tasks such as granular or liquid spraying, moving your garbage bins to the curb, dog waste picking, and even fruit harvesting. All without changing the core robot. The goal? A full-spectrum, “1+N” yard ecosystem that meets every seasonal demand and makes yard work a relic of the past.
The Future of Yard Work Is Modular
After a well-received showcase at CES 2025, Yarbo continues to build on its latest product innovations, including:
- “Follow Me” Mode – Let Yarbo visually track and follow you, hands-free.
- 3,500 lbs pulling capacity – Yes, really. From firewood to garden carts.
- Quick-swap design – Change tracks, antennas or modules in under 5 minutes.
- Halow-powered Data Center – Better connectivity, stronger signal, wider coverage.
Whether it’s clearing leaves, trimming lawn edges, or prepping for a summer BBQ, Yarbo is the robotic outdoor companion for every season. The future looks even brighter (and a lot less back-breaking) for yard owners everywhere.
Interested in trying Yarbo for yourself? We’re happy to arrange media test units, product demos, and interviews to showcase just how easy spring yard work can be. Yarbo is actively recruiting distributors in both North America and Europe. For those interested, please email dealer@yarbo.com or visit www.yarbo.com/become-a-dealer.
For more information on Yarbo, please visit www.yarbo.com.
About Yarbo
Yarbo is the world’s first multi-purpose yard robot, designed to meet over 20 kinds of yard care demands such as snow blowing, lawn mowing, leaf blowing and more. The fully autonomous robot’s core features include all-season yard maintenance, a modular design, data connectivity capabilities, wireless charging, smart route planning, app control and remote control and next-generation smart obstacle avoidance with patented precise positioning and navigation technology. This together provides yard enthusiasts with versatile and easy-to-use options for a stress-free, hands-free yard care experience. Established in 2015, Yarbo’s mission is to create value and make a difference in people’s lives through being the world’s leading intelligent outdoor equipment provider.
