LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--BitNile Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: NILE), a diversified holding company (“BitNile” or the “Company”) today published an unaudited update on Bitcoin production and miner installation. The number of miners and production capacity metrics within this press release represent the S19j Pro Antminers at the Michigan data center. BitNile’s Bitcoin mining production is currently operating at an estimated annualized run rate of 360.99 Bitcoin based on current market conditions, including a mining difficulty of approximately 28.0 trillion.
BitNile has 2,160 active S19j Pro Antminers, with 297 more miners expected to arrive in the second week of March 2022, which when installed, are expected to generate a combined processing power of approximately 250 petahashes per second, the computational power that is being used to mine Bitcoin. During the month of February 2022, BitNile self-mined 25.9 Bitcoin. To date, BitNile has mined a total of 100.9 Bitcoin.
Milton “Todd” Ault, III, the Company’s Executive Chairman, stated, “We expect to significantly ramp up our production capacity beginning in March 2022, as we expect to receive and begin installing 2,300 miners per month from our previously announced purchase agreements.”
As previously disclosed, BitNile has entered into purchase agreements with Bitmain Technologies Limited (“Bitmain”) for a total of 20,600 Bitcoin miners, including 4,600 environmentally friendly S19 XP Antminers that feature a processing power of 140 terahashes per second (“TH/s”) and 16,000 S19j Pro Antminers that feature a processing power of 100 TH/s.
BitNile began receiving 300 S19j Pro Antminers per month in November 2021 in accordance with the purchase agreement with Bitmain. Beginning in March 2022, this schedule will increase to an expected 2,300 miners per month. Once all 20,600 miners are fully deployed and operational, BitNile is expected to achieve mining production capacity of approximately 2.24 exahashes per second.
The Company notes that all estimates and other projections are subject to the actual delivery and installation of Bitcoin miners, the volatility in Bitcoin market price, the fluctuation in the mining difficulty level, and other factors that may impact the results of production or operations.
