and

reported
an
increase
in

operational
hashrate
to
11.1
EH/s,
a
7%
rise
from

2024.
The

fleet
upgrade
program
is
contributing
to
this
growth,
with
CEO
Ben
Gagnon
highlighting
the
efficiency
improvements
post
the
April
halving
event.
“Our
Bitcoin
mined

has
increased
by
62%
since
the
halving

and
improved
efficiency,”

In
Paraguay,
the
Paso
Pe
site
is
now
fully
operational,
and

challenges
with
a
batch
of
~3,000
T21
miners
that
are
underperforming
due
to
overheating
issues.

is
replacing
these
miners,
and
the
new
units
are
expected
to
be
operational
within
three
weeks.
