AVAX
One Announces Development of Initial 10 MW Tier 3 AI/HPC Powered Land in Alberta
Announces
Formal and Transformative Expansion into AI/HPC Data Center Infrastructure, Positioning AVAX One at the Intersection of Digital Assets
and Compute-Driven Demand
WEST
PALM BEACH, FL, April 20, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AVAX One Technology Ltd. (Nasdaq: AVX) (“AVAX One” or the “Company”),
today announced the execution of a Letter of Intent (with a definitive agreement to be negotiated and entered into within 30 days) with
BlueFlare Energy Solutions Inc. (“BlueFlare”), an Alberta-based infrastructure developer, for the development of powered
land capable of supporting a 10 MW AI/HPC Edge Compute facility. This initiative represents the Company’s formal expansion into
the data center and digital infrastructure vertical, positioning AVAX One to participate in the rapidly accelerating demand for AI and
high-performance computing capacity.
The
initiative addresses the power bottleneck which is a foundational constraint for AI/HPC Edge computing capacity by presenting a scalable
and replicable micro grid model in 10 MW increments. This advantageous differentiator is a key element to enabling the Company to achieve
recurring revenue at scale. This transformative event demonstrates a power synergy with the Company’s existing Avalanche treasury
and on-chain strategy by positioning the Company at the intersection of on-chain finance and the physical compute structure that will
power it. Furthermore, this creates a clear path to recurring high-margin revenue through long-term infrastructure agreements with end
clients thus creating sustainable shareholder value opportunities.
“Executing
this Letter of Intent marks a transformative milestone in our evolution into a diversified digital infrastructure company,” said
Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of AVAX One. “We view AI and high-performance computing infrastructure as a natural extension
of our broader mandate to build institutional-grade exposure to the next generation of digital infrastructure. As global demand for compute
continues to accelerate, we believe access to reliable, cost-efficient power has emerged as the primary constraint on data center deployment.”
“By
developing Tier 3-ready powered land supported by on-site, behind-the-meter natural gas generation, we are directly addressing this bottleneck
while creating scalable, revenue-generating infrastructure assets for our shareholders. Alberta provides structural competitive advantages
as a result of the low cost of natural gas and existing brownfield assets, as well as a friendly environment for permitting and other
regulatory requirements and AESO grid optionality. These advantages enable us to implement development with speed and cost benefits which
most competitors cannot match. This expansion builds on our existing expertise at the intersection of energy and compute, as well as
reflects a deliberate evolution toward owning and operating both the digital and physical infrastructure underpinning the onchain and
AI-driven economies.”
Under
the definitive agreement (to be executed within 30 days from this Letter of Intent), BlueFlare will serve as development manager and
owner’s representative to identify, engineer, permit, procure, and construct approximately 10 MW of total power capacity on a site
located within a 50-mile radius of Calgary, Alberta. The project prioritizes brownfield sites featuring existing natural gas-fired generation
assets to accelerate timelines and reduce permitting risks.
The
powered land will be designed to achieve Uptime Institute Tier 3 certification, incorporating concurrent maintainability, redundant power
distribution paths, and a multi-source architecture. Primary power will come from natural gas generation, supplemented by AESO grid interconnection
(where viable), Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) for ride-through and frequency regulation, and diesel backup for final-tier redundancy.
By
utilizing flared natural gas as the primary power source, AVAX One’s ability to rely on a fixed source of power, rather than being
subject to price fluctuations and grid curtailments during peak usage, which are common occurrences with grid power-based systems. In
addition, the modular microgrid design creates a replicable and scalable blueprint for future deployments in Alberta and potentially
in other areas throughout North America.

AVAX
One Reports Preliminary First Quarter 2026 Financial Results; Reiterates Full Year 2026 Guidance
Preliminary
Q1 2026 Revenue up more than 2x Sequentially to Approximately $2.4 Million
Expansion
into Tier 3 AI/HPC Data Center Infrastructure is Underway
WEST
PALM BEACH, FL, April 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AVAX One Technology Ltd. (Nasdaq: AVX) (“AVAX One” or the “Company”),
today announced preliminary financial and operational results for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Preliminary
Q1 2026 Revenue and Liquidity Highlights
Based
on preliminary results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company expects to report a revenue increase of more than double to
$2.4 million compared to Q4 2025. The increase was primarily driven by increased Avalanche staking rewards and Bitcoin mining revenue.
In addition, AVAX One is reporting a total cash balance of $27.2 million, which provides the Company with more than adequate liquidity
to fund operating costs for more than three years without liquidating any of its digital assets.
Operational
Highlights
| ● | Executed
a Letter of Intent to develop an initial 10 MW Tier 3-ready AI/HPC powered land site in Alberta,
with expected readiness for end-client deployment in Q1 2027, marking the Company’s
formal expansion into data center infrastructure and positioning AVAX One to capitalize on
accelerating demand for compute capacity and energy-advantaged digital infrastructure. The
Company has already undertaken the next steps following the LOI and has initiated the formal
due diligence process, including retention of counsel in Alberta, and is in the final stages
of choosing the engineering firm for the project. |
| ● | Increased
Bitcoin mining capacity to ~250 PH/s, with near-term expansion expected to exceed 300 PH/s
within the next 30 days, reflecting continued investment in scalable, energy-efficient compute
infrastructure. |
| ● | Expanded
Avalanche digital asset treasury to approximately 14.0 million AVAX, with over 90% actively
staked, generating a ~6% annualized yield and reinforcing the Company’s focus on yield-generating
onchain assets. |
| ● | Achieved
a current annualized revenue run rate of over $11.0 million, with more than $7.0 million
from AVAX staking rewards and over $4.0 million from Bitcoin mining operations, based on
current digital asset prices. |
“Our
first quarter results underscore the early success of our enhanced model that generates increased operating cash flows resulting from
our diversified revenue strategy,” said Jolie Kahn, Chief Executive Officer of AVAX One. “Avalanche ranks among the most
high-performing and scalable blockchain ecosystems worldwide, delivering compelling yields supported by structural scarcity from its
capped supply and transaction fee burns. AVAX One was designed as the preeminent public gateway providing investors with direct, leveraged
exposure to Avalanche’s continued expansion. By staking over 90% of our AVAX tokens, we generate a steady annualized yield of approximately
6%. This approach enables us to compound AVAX per share and establish a scalable, recurring revenue foundation linked to the long-term
development of the Avalanche ecosystem and the increasing institutional embrace of digital assets.”
The
Company continues to expand its development of the physical infrastructure required for digital compute, which is in high demand. AVAX
One recently announced a Letter of Intent to develop a 10 MW Tier 3-ready powered land site in Alberta that utilizes natural gas generation
behind-the-meter and is targeting Q1 2027 readiness. This investment allows the Company to own one of the critical constraints facing
AI/HPC data center development: access to consistent power. The micro-grid, modular data center design powered by existing natural gas
is in demand because of significantly shorter deployment timeframe, lower capital commitments, and ability to scale. Ultimately, this
dual strategy positions AVAX One as one of the only publicly traded companies to own access to the scarce resources that are driving
the future of digital finance and AI development.
