Insights
AgriFORCE advances in energy-compute strategy with operational Berwyn site and 1.3MW expansion plan, showing tangible execution on Bitcoin mining roadmap.
AgriFORCE is making concrete progress on its energy-to-compute strategy, with two significant developments that demonstrate execution capabilities. The company has successfully commissioned its first operational site in Berwyn, Alberta with 425 kW capacity using BlueFlare Energy's technology, hosting 120 Bitmain S21 miners that deliver >32 PH/s of computing power. A Phase 2 expansion adding 200 kW is already underway.
The binding LOI with BlueFlare Energy to acquire 1.3 MW of additional capacity across two new Alberta sites (Oyen and Hinton) indicates the company is executing on its expansion strategy. The partnership structure is noteworthy - AgriFORCE provides funding and maintains asset ownership while BlueFlare handles operational aspects including deployment and optimization.
What makes AgriFORCE's approach technically distinctive is their focus on modular, mobile infrastructure that converts stranded natural gas into computing power without waiting for grid connections or extensive permitting. This agility could provide meaningful advantages in scaling speed compared to traditional data center operators dependent on utility-scale power.
The company has mined 7 BTC to date (valued at approximately $750,000), with current infrastructure delivering 0.17 EH/s hash rate across multiple sites. Their roadmap targets 0.5 EH/s by Q4 2025 and 1 EH/s by Q1 2026, which would represent a nearly 6x increase from current levels. While ambitious, the clear technical specifications and phased approach suggest a methodical expansion strategy rather than just aspirational targets.
AgriFORCE's energy-first strategy addresses a critical inefficiency in the natural gas market by monetizing stranded gas resources through mobile compute infrastructure. Their Berwyn site demonstrates a working implementation of this model, converting otherwise wasted gas into digital assets using BlueFlare's 425 kW power module technology, with plans to add 200 kW in Phase 2.
The company's approach to energy utilization is particularly relevant in Alberta's resource-rich environment, where remote gas assets often lack economical transportation options. By deploying mobile infrastructure directly to these locations, AgriFORCE can potentially capture significant value from resources that would otherwise remain unexploited.
What's technically significant is their integration of ESG compliance into the core infrastructure stack through BlueFlare's Carbon Cube™ for emissions tracking. This addresses a common criticism of cryptocurrency mining by creating transparent accounting for environmental impact. The reference to potential carbon credit tracking suggests they're positioning for possible monetization of emissions reductions compared to flaring.
The LOI to expand to Oyen and Hinton with 1.3 MW additional capacity indicates the company is replicating their model across multiple sites, which speaks to the scalability of their approach. Their claim of exclusive access to 50+ MW of natural gas resources (expanding to 100+ MW by 2026) represents substantial energy capacity if fully realized - enough to power thousands of high-performance mining units.
This distributed energy approach could provide resilience advantages over centralized mining operations dependent on single grid connections, potentially reducing downtime risks while creating value from otherwise stranded energy resources.
VANCOUVER, British Columbia and BERWYN, Alberta, June 17, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI) (“AgriFORCE” or the “Company”), a technology and infrastructure firm operating at the intersection of clean energy and digital compute, today announced two major milestones in its Power & Compute strategy:
- The commissioning of its first decentralized Power & Compute site in Berwyn, Alberta
- The execution of a binding Letter of Intent (LOI) with BlueFlare Energy™ Solutions Inc. to acquire and develop up to 1.3 MW of mobile, natural-gas-powered compute infrastructure across Alberta
Together, these milestones reinforce AgriFORCE’s three-pronged strategy across Bitcoin treasury accumulation, modular compute infrastructure, and energy-first monetization—accelerating the company’s mission to convert stranded gas into scalable digital assets and decentralized AI-ready infrastructure.
Berwyn Commissioning: Proof of Execution
AgriFORCE’s Berwyn site represents the first live deployment under the Company’s Power & Compute Initiative and is now fully operational. Developed in partnership with BlueFlare Energy™, Phase 1 of the site includes:
- 425 kW BlueFlare Power module
- 120 Bitmain S21 270TH ASIC miners delivering >32 PH/s
- Custom-engineered mining pod with high-efficiency airflow and thermal controls
- BlueFlare OS™ for telemetry and predictive maintenance
- BlueFlare Carbon Cube™ for emissions tracking and ESG compliance
Phase 2, currently underway, will add 200 kW, expanding the site’s total capacity to over 625 kW.
“This site is a working proof of our thesis: convert stranded gas into real-time, ESG-compliant digital compute. And do it fast,” said Dave Jackson, CEO of BlueFlare Energy™.
1.3 MW Alberta Expansion: Strategic LOI Execution
AgriFORCE and BlueFlare Energy™ have entered into a binding LOI to acquire and deploy an additional 1.3 MW of power and compute capacity at two new sites in Oyen and Hinton, Alberta. The LOI includes:
- Rights to purchase and operate two modular gas-to-power units, each rated at approximately 640 kW, alongside BlueFlare-engineered mining infrastructure
- Shared responsibilities, with AgriFORCE providing funding, treasury, and asset ownership, and BlueFlare managing power, deployment, and performance optimization
- Optional equity participation for BlueFlare in future site-level expansions
Each site will replicate the Berwyn model and support a range of workloads including Bitcoin mining, AI inference, edge compute, and industrial IoT processing.
“We don’t wait for permits or grid upgrades—we convert gas into compute in weeks, not years,” said Jolie Kahn, CEO of AgriFORCE. “This LOI accelerates our Alberta roadmap and pushes us closer to 1 EH/s target compute capacity by Q1 2026.”
Three-Pronged Strategy: Bitcoin, Compute, and Energy Control
AgriFORCE’s roadmap is anchored in a capital-efficient, synergistic growth model:
- Bitcoin Treasury: Sound Money Meets Smart Reserves
- 7 BTC mined to date across Alberta and Ohio (~
$750,000 in value) - Up to
50% of capital raises allocated to direct BTC purchases - Up to
50% of mined BTC retained in corporate treasury - This blended model minimizes volatility while compounding long-term upside in a hard, appreciating asset
- 7 BTC mined to date across Alberta and Ohio (~
- Compute Infrastructure: Modular, Mobile, and Scaling Fast
- 6+ MW operational capacity across three sites, with >0.17 EH/s deployed
- Targeting 0.5 EH/s by Q4 2025 and 1 EH/s by Q1 2026
- Powered by 500+ new-gen ASICs and proprietary telemetry for rapid scaling and efficiency
- 6+ MW operational capacity across three sites, with >0.17 EH/s deployed
- Energy-First Expansion: Monetizing the Bottleneck
- Exclusive access to 50+ MW of natural gas, expanding to 100+ MW by 2026
- Mobile, off-grid systems that bypass utility delays
- Integrated ESG tech stack including real-time emissions logging and carbon credit tracking
- Exclusive access to 50+ MW of natural gas, expanding to 100+ MW by 2026
“Power is the new currency,” added Kahn. “We’re not just building data centers—we’re building power-backed financial infrastructure.”
