DMG Announces March Mining Results; New Large Ordinal Collection Inscription with Per Ordinal Rights Transfer

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 12, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB US: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG”), a vertically integrated blockchain and cryptocurrency technology company, today announces March preliminary mining results. DMG mined 78.9 bitcoin with 0.88 EH/s realized hashrate. DMG’s bitcoin balance as of March 31, 2023 was 443 bitcoin. As DMG is now reporting mined bitcoin from Terra Pool on a full pay-per-share (FPPS) basis, February mining results would have been 76.7 BTC rather than the 89.2 mined BTC previously reported.

New Miner Deliveries

DMG now expects its last batch of 42 PH/s of Bitmain S19 XPs to be delivered in May 2023 rather than April as previously expected. Along with additional mine improvements, DMG expects to grow its hashrate to 1 EH/s in May 2023. This is subject to the receipt, installation and operation of the additional miners, as well as operation of its existing fleet in standard power mode.

New Large Ordinal Collection Inscription with Per Ordinal Rights Transfer

In Bitcoin block 784173, DMG has inscribed a large-sized (i.e., greater than 400 kilobytes) ordinal collection of 100 Nippies developed by artist Scuba Steve. What is unique about this inscription is it combines 100 sequential pieces of art into a single block inscribed with carbon-neutral energy. Additionally, it incorporates the capability for each individual piece of art to be subsequently sent to a unique wallet. This allows artists to post collections to the Bitcoin blockchain -- the world’s most immutable digital ledger -- and then to transfer ownership rights of individual artwork pieces uniquely to new owners while being able to show provenance of their art back to the original block.

DMG’s CEO Sheldon Bennett commented, “It is because of our Core+ strategy, based on which we have built a suite of Blockseer software products, that DMG is the only Bitcoin mining company capable of inscribing large ordinals using carbon neutral energy. This is the result of what we’ve built – Terra Pool, the world’s only carbon neutral bitcoin mining pool – along with Petra, which provides the ability to build transactions tailored to client needs and place those transactions onto the blockchain using carbon neutral energy.”

Scuba Steve added, “We are pleased DMG could do what no other ordinal inscription service could offer – 100 sequential artwork pieces all in the same block, processed with green energy, all while including the capability to transfer ownership rights on an individual basis. We believe DMG’s capabilities could open the door for many other collections to be inscribed in a similar manner.”

Additionally, with recent software upgrades, DMG is offering Terra Pool users to be paid for their hashrate on a full pay-per-share basis, which is expected to attract more carbon neutral miners to Terra Pool.

Stock Option Repricing

DMG also announces, subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval, it is repricing 3,321,076 stock options (“Options”) held by non-executive employees and consultants. The repricing does not affect the Options’ current vesting schedules and does not extend the term of the Options. The 3,321,076 existing Options will be repriced from between $0.65 and $3.00 per common share to $0.33 per common share.
