Q3 2018 was the first quarter for Hut 8 that included the impact of mining operations at our CMH facility, which includes 40 BlockBoxes beginning in July 2018, together with an additional 16 BlockBoxes in September 2018, for an aggregate of 56 BlockBoxes at that site. As a result of this increased capacity,
Hut 8 produced $17.7 million of revenue for the quarter, its largest ever for a single quarter and a 126% increase from the prior quarter revenue of $7.8 million.
The Company also recorded $7.2 million in Adjusted EBITDA, an 86% increase from the prior quarter of $3.9 million, largely as a result of increased revenue from the new facility at CMH. Efficiency of the ASIC chips used to mine bitcoin is expected to increase during the colder months in Alberta, leading to improved performance in Q4 when compared to Q3.
Hut 8's cost for mining a bitcoin in Q3 2018 was US$3,394, which is below the current market bitcoin price of approximately US$6,500, making Hut 8 amongst the lowest-cost miners of bitcoin in the world. This is reflected in the Company's quarterly results, as its mining profit for the quarter was $8.8 million with a mining profit margin of 51%.
Hut 8's mining profit margin and adjusted EBITDA margins were lower during Q3 for two reasons: (i) the price of bitcoin appreciated through the quarter, combined with increased competition from other bitcoin miners (expressed through increased network hash rate); and (ii) to a lesser extent, record setting summer temperatures in Alberta that caused increases in the price of electricity at its Drumheller facility, which facility procures electricity from the Alberta grid. The impact of a hot summer was far less at Hut 8's larger facility in CMH, which purchases the majority of its electricity under contract with fixed prices.
"Our Drumheller facility represents approximately 20% of our operations," said Andrew Kiguel, Chief Executive Officer of Hut 8. "This summer, a record-setting heat wave in the province resulted in increased electricity costs during certain periods. The result was increased electricity costs at the Drumheller site by approximately $0.01 per Kilowatt hour on average. We are actively managing our exposure to market prices through a number of different means. Despite this, Hut 8 achieved record revenue for Q3 and strong overall margins."
A conference call has been scheduled to discuss the Company's third quarter financial results, hosted by CEO Andrew Kiguel and CFO Jimmy Vaiopoulos, starting at 10:00 a.m. ET today.
Date: Thursday, November 8, 2018

Hashchain assigns Node40 debt to Global Crypto
2018-09-20 18:00 ET - News Release
Mr. Patrick Gray reports
HASHCHAIN TECHNOLOGY ANNOUNCES AMENDMENT TO ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT WITH NODE40
Hashchain Technology Inc. has entered into a definitive agreement to amend its previously disclosed asset purchase agreement with Node40.
Terms of the original asset purchase agreement with Node40
Under the asset purchase agreement for the acquisition of the Node40 business, Hashchain acquired the Node40 business for a purchase price comprising $8-million (U.S.) in cash, payable as to $4-million (U.S.) at closing (subject to a closing adjustment provision), and $2-million (U.S.) on each of 180 days and one year following the closing date, and a total of 3,144,134 common shares in the capital of Hashchain, to be issued in the following amounts and on the following dates: (i) 1.8 million shares on the closing date, (ii) 700,247 shares on the date that is 180 days following the closing date; and (iii) 643,887 shares on the one-year anniversary of the closing date, subject to the vendor of Node 40's option to receive cash in lieu of up to 30 per cent of the shares issuable pursuant to (ii) and (iii) above to a maximum of $600,000 (U.S.) for (ii) and $600,000 (U.S.) for (iii) above.
Terms of amended asset purchase agreement with Node40
Hashchain assigned to its wholly owned subsidiary Global Crypto Public Accounting Ltd., and Global assumed the cash debt and agreed to discharge such cash debt by paying the vendor $2-million (U.S.) on Feb. 15, 2019. The vendor agreed to cancel 3.6 million shares held by the vendor in exchange for the Masternode rewards and all Dash cryptocurrency paid to Hashchain by customers of the Node40 accounting software.
The vendor elected to be paid $1.2-million (U.S.) by Global and receive an aggregate total of 940,894 shares on Feb. 15, 2019, in satisfaction of the second and third share issuances mentioned above from the APA.
Immediately prior to the spinoff (as defined below), Hashchain agreed to subscribe for 900 Class A common shares of Global for an aggregate purchase price of $400,000, such funds to be used for working capital expenses, and Global will issue the vendor 110 Class A common shares.
Hashchain previously disclosed its intent to separate the company into two independent publicly traded companies: one business focused on cryptocurrency mining (Hashchain) and the other on cryptocurrency accounting and tax compliance software, including other disruptive blockchain technology solutions (Global).
