Ault Alliance, Inc. Subsidiary BitNile, Inc. Moving 6,572 Bitcoin Miners Out of Texas Hosted Facility

As a result of the Compute North bankruptcy filing BitNile, Inc. determined that it is in the best interest of the business to move all the miners out of the Wolf Hollow facility

Shipping began last month and all miners are expected to be relocated to the Company’s Michigan data center by the end of February 2023

LAS VEGAS--()--Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE American: AULT), a diversified holding company (“Ault Alliance” or the “Company”) announced today that its subsidiary, BitNile, Inc. is currently moving Bitcoin mining equipment out of the Wolf Hollow hosting facility in Texas as a result of the September 2022 Compute North bankruptcy filing.

BitNile, Inc. entered into a hosting agreement securing 20 megawatts of power announced on August 16, 2022 with Compute North, LLC. As a result of this agreement BitNile, Inc. moved 6,572 Bitcoin miners to Compute North’s Wolf Hollow hosting facility in Texas. Compute North’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing initiated a series of events including transfer in ownership of the Wolf Hollow hosting facility in Texas. BitNile, Inc. determined that the site is no longer economically viable and therefore began making weekly shipments to move the equipment to a safe and secure location for future deployment.

Milton “Todd” Ault, III, the Company’s Executive Chairman, stated, “Although this situation is very frustrating, we are moving through the legal process with Compute North and have control over our equipment. We believe the decision to relocate our mining equipment provides us the ability to best execute our future deployment plans.”

As previously disclosed, the Company has entered into purchase agreements with Bitmain Technologies Limited for a total of 23,065 Bitcoin miners, including 4,600 environmentally friendly S19 XP Antminers that feature a processing power of 140 terahashes per second (“TH/s”), 17,325 S19j Pro Antminers that feature a processing power of 100 TH/s and 1,140 S19 XP Hydro Antminers that feature a processing power of 255 TH/s. Once all of the miners are fully deployed and operational, the Company expects to achieve a mining production capacity of approximately 2.66 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, the ability of Agora Digital Holdings Inc. to raise the required capital and to build out and provide the necessary power to its facility in Texas, with whom the Company has contracted, and other factors that may impact the results of production or operations.
