Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week’s Bitcoin Stock Show, Colin welcomes Hive Executive Chairman Frank Holmes and CEO Aydin Kilic to discuss the company’s LOI to acquire Bitfarms’ 200 MW bitcoin mine in Yguazú, Paraguay for $85 million ($56 million for the site, $19 million for the PPA, and $10 million for construction contract). Once fully energized, the acquisition and Hive’s other, 100 MW site in Paraguay should catapult the company from 6 to 25 EH/s under management. During the conversation, Holmes and Aydin discuss why they are putting so many chips on Paraguay, the timeline for the 200 MW site’s completion, why they are outfitting it with Antminer S21 Hydros, and more.
