AgriFORCE Growing Systems Acquires Alberta Bitcoin Mining Facility, Unlocking Revolutionary Synergies in Technology, Agriculture, and Sustainability
03 Décembre 2024 - 3:00PM
AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI), a leading
intellectual property-driven technology company, is pleased to
announce the completion of its acquisition of a bitcoin mining
facility in Sturgeon County, Alberta, Canada. Acquired for $1.5
million in cash, this cutting-edge facility represents a
cornerstone of AgriFORCE's integrated strategy, blending
sustainable energy, advanced data operations, and innovative
agricultural solutions.
A High-Value OpportunityThe facility, powered
by 1.2 MW of natural gas energy, currently supports over 130
bitcoin mining units and has the scalability to accommodate up to
250 units. This capability delivers immediate and long-term revenue
streams while advancing environmental sustainability through the
use of flare natural gas-powered operations. These efficiencies
create additional opportunities for income generation by
integrating high-yield agricultural initiatives.
Chairman David Welch highlighted the
strategic benefits of this acquisition:“This facility exemplifies
our ability to execute on a self-sustaining, scalable business
model. By generating revenue from bitcoin mining and seamlessly
integrating sustainable agriculture operations, we can offset
operational costs and retain the Bitcoin we mine ('HODL'). This
positions us to maximize the future value of our assets while
maintaining operational efficiency and financial stability. It’s a
forward-looking strategy that aligns perfectly with our commitment
to innovation, sustainability, and long-term stakeholder
value.”
Revolutionizing Sustainability and
ProfitabilityCEO Jolie
Kahn described the transformational potential of the
acquisition:“This acquisition is a game-changer, establishing
AgriFORCE as a leader at the intersection of technology,
sustainability, and agriculture. By repurposing waste energy from
flare gas-powered generators, the facility reduces environmental
impact and drives multiple revenue streams, including bitcoin
mining and agricultural operations such as micro-greens, red
seaweed, and white-legged shrimp farming.”
This innovative use of energy maximization creates a replicable
model that enhances profitability and resource efficiency, setting
a benchmark for sustainable industrial practices.
Competitive Advantage and Strategic VisionThe
Sturgeon County facility reinforces AgriFORCE's competitive edge
and supports the Company’s strategic pillars:
- Reducing Environmental Impact: The
facility leverages renewable energy sources to reduce the carbon
footprint of data centers and agriculture.
- Driving Revenue Diversification: By
integrating advanced bitcoin mining technology with high-value
agricultural operations, the Company is positioned for sustained
financial growth.
- Scaling a Proven Model: AgriFORCE aims to
replicate this success by acquiring similar facilities across North
America, enhancing both economic and environmental outcomes.
Kahn further emphasized:“This facility embodies our commitment
to leveraging cutting-edge technologies for transformative impact.
We feel that the acquisition of the Sturgeon County, Alberta
facility solidifies our intention to become a significant
participant in clean energy integration, data center optimization
and sustainable agriculture, as a means of transforming technology
and sustainability while striving to deliver robust financial
returns. As we scale this model across the U.S. and Canada, we aim
to deliver unparalleled benefits to both the environment and our
stakeholders, securing AgriFORCE’s position as a pioneer in
sustainable, profitable innovation.”
