Prominent Bitcoin mining firm Hive Digital has officially closed a $22 million private financing round, according to an announcement. The Vancouver-based firm accomplished this milestone through the sale of 5.75 million special warrants, each priced at 5.00 Canadian dollars ($3.87), totaling 28.75 million CAD ($22 million).
The announcement reads:
“The Special Warrants and the underlying Units (defined below) are subject to a statutory hold period of four months and one day in accordance with applicable securities laws. The completion of the offering will be subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory and corporate approvals or consents.”
Specifics of the Financing Round
Notably, every unique warrant unit comprises one common stock of the company and half of a common share purchase warrant. Investors holding these warrants have the privilege to exercise them, acquiring one Hive share at a rate of 6.0 CAD ($4.54) for every two warrants owned, with a deadline set for December 28, 2026.
As of now, Hive Digital stock is actively traded at $7.15 CAD ($5.41). This structure presents an intriguing opportunity for investors to leverage their warrants to acquire Hive shares at a favorable rate, adding a dynamic element to the market dynamics surrounding Hive Digital’s stock.
The net proceeds from this financing round are earmarked to support the expansion of Hive’s Bitcoin mining footprint, in addition to serving working capital and general corporate purposes. An interesting aspect highlighted in the announcement is the company’s intention to “HODL” all its bitcoin until the upcoming Halving event.
Hive Digital: Expansion of Operations
Hive is currently focused on expanding its operations, seeking to take advantage of the recent surge in Bitcoin mining profitability. The firm generated around 9.2 BTC per day with 4.18 exahash per second (EH/s) of mining capacity, with 276.3 bitcoin produced in November from ASIC and GPU mining operations, representing an average of 66.7 bitcoin per exahash.
Notably, during November, HIVE made substantial acquisitions, securing around 3.35 exahash of cutting-edge Bitcoin mining ASICs. This involved procuring approximately 29,000 ASICs, totaling about 88 MW, with an impressive average fleet efficiency of around 26 J/TH. This strategic move enabled HIVE to enhance the performance of its machines, upgrading both 50 J/TH and 42 J/TH units, along with improvements to the existing 38 J/TH machines.

The latest addition of 9,800 S19k Pro miners is poised to elevate HIVE’s global installed fleet efficiency to approximately 28.9 J/TH. Anticipated to reach an operating hashrate of 4.8 EH/s by the end of December, HIVE strategically positions itself for the upcoming halving.
As reported earlier by Bitcoinnews, Hive also made a solid entry into the world of artificial intelligence (AI) and HPC technologies by acquiring 96 Nvidia H100 graphics processing units (GPUs). The firm has plans to incorporate these GPUs into a dozen HGX servers, with the aim of expanding the firm’s existing GPU division.
