Record $93.1M quarter as HIVE (NASDAQ: HIVE) ramps Bitcoin and AI GPUs

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

HIVE Digital Technologies reported record Q3 FY2026 revenue of $93.1 million, up 219% year over year and 7% sequentially, driven mainly by Bitcoin hashrate services and growing high-performance computing (HPC) activity. Gross operating margin rose to $32.1 million, more than six times the prior-year period, while Adjusted EBITDA reached $5.7 million.

The company generated $88.2 million of digital currency hashrate revenue and mined 885 Bitcoin despite higher network difficulty. BUZZ-branded HPC revenue was $4.9 million on $2.3 million of direct costs, illustrating early traction in AI and cloud workloads.

HIVE completed its Paraguay buildout, reaching 25 EH/s of installed Bitcoin capacity and 440 MW of hydro-powered infrastructure, and signed an additional 100 MW power agreement. It also secured a 2‑year, $30 million contract for 504 Nvidia B200 GPUs, expected to lift HPC annualized revenue from $20 million to $35 million.

Despite these gains, HIVE reported a GAAP net loss of $91.3 million, mainly from $57.4 million of accelerated depreciation tied to its Paraguay expansion and other non-cash revaluation items. Separately, the company raised C$22.0 million (approximately $15.8 million) through an at‑the‑market equity program, issuing 4,925,948 common shares.

Positive

• Record growth and margin expansion: Q3 FY2026 revenue reached $93.1 million, up 219% year over year, while gross operating margin expanded more than sixfold to $32.1 million, showing materially stronger underlying economics.
• Strategic shift toward AI and HPC: A 2‑year, $30 million contract for 504 Nvidia B200 GPUs is expected to lift HPC annualized revenue from $20 million to $35 million, supporting a higher‑margin, recurring revenue mix.

Negative

• Large GAAP net loss driven by non-cash items: Despite stronger operations, the company reported a $91.3 million GAAP net loss, mainly from $57.4 million of accelerated depreciation and revaluation adjustments tied to rapid infrastructure expansion.

Insights

Equity and digital infrastructure analyst

Record revenue, strong AI/HPC ramp, but masked by non-cash net loss.

HIVE Digital Technologies delivered Q3 FY2026 revenue of $93.1 million, up 219% year over year, with gross operating margin climbing to $32.1 million. Core economics improved as hashrate revenue rose and BUZZ HPC contributed $4.9 million on relatively low direct costs.

The reported GAAP net loss of $91.3 million is dominated by $57.4 million of accelerated depreciation and other non‑cash revaluation effects rather than weak operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million indicates underlying cash generation despite tougher Bitcoin pricing and higher network difficulty.

Strategically, HIVE is scaling a 440 MW renewable-powered footprint, expanding to a contracted 540 MW, and has signed a 2‑year, $30 million Nvidia GPU contract expected to increase HPC annualized revenue from $20 million to $35 million. The at‑the‑market equity issuance of 4,925,948 shares for roughly $15.8 million adds growth capital but also some dilution, with future results depending on continued execution in Bitcoin hashrate and AI cloud markets.

HIVE Delivers Record Q3 Revenue of $93.1 Million with $32.1 Million Gross Operating Margin, Up Over 6x Year-Over-Year

This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated November 25, 2025 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated October 31, 2025.

San Antonio, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - February 17, 2026) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (BVC: HIVECO) (referred to as the "Company" or "HIVE"), a global leader in sustainable data center infrastructure, announced its results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025 (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).

HIVE delivered record quarterly revenue of $93.1 million, representing 219% year-over-year growth and 7% quarter over quarter growth, and Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million. Gross operating margin expanded significantly to $32.1 million (34.5%), up more than sixfold compared to $5.3 million in the prior year period.

This quarter marks the strongest "dual-engine" growth in HIVE's history, driven by the rapid scale-out of its Bitcoin hashrate fleet to an installed base of 25 Exahash per Second ("EH/s") by period end December 31, 2025 and accelerating demand for BUZZ HPC platforms.

Q3 FY2026 Financial Highlights:

• Total Revenue: $93.1 million, a 219% increase from $29.2 million in Q3 FY2025 and a 7% increase over last quarter. Gross operating margin was $32.1 million or 35%³, up from 18% in fiscal Q3 FY2025. See the calculation of direct costs and mining margin included below in this press release.

• Digital Currency Hashrate Revenue: $88.2 million, up 8% from Q2 FY2026, reflecting a 41% quarter-over-quarter increase in average hashrate to 22.9 EH/s, partially offset by approximately 10% lower Bitcoin prices and 15% higher network difficulty. This hashrate revenue was achieved at a direct cost of $57.8 million, of which approximately 90% is energy costs. See the calculation of direct costs included below in this press release.

• Bitcoin Output: Generated 885 Bitcoin, representing a 23% quarter over quarter increase, despite a 15% rise in network difficulty.

• HPC Revenue: BUZZ HPC revenue was $4.9 million during the quarter. This revenue was achieved against direct costs of $2.3 million.

• G&A: $8.4 million, up from $7.8 million in Q2 2026, primarily as a result of increased staff to support HIVE's global expansion, including Paraguay, and the BUZZ HPC business. Notably, while gross operating margin increased more than 6x year-over-year, corporate G&A grew only 1.8x over the same period, demonstrating operating leverage and disciplined scaling.

• Net Loss: GAAP net loss of $91.3 million was primarily driven by $57.4 million in accelerated depreciation related to the Paraguay expansion and non-cash revaluation adjustments. The loss reflects HIVE's decision to depreciate the next-generation ASIC fleet over a two-year cycle, rather than the typical four-year schedule, to reflect the faster pace of efficiency improvements and shorter economic lives of new ASICs-a conservative approach aligned with our strong growth in Paraguay and focus on operating income.

• Adjusted EBITDA¹: $5.7 million.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE: SCALE WITH DISCIPLINE

Infrastructure Expansion

• Completed Paraguay Buildout and Achieved 25 EH/s: Operating 440 megawatts ("MW") of global, hydro-powered capacity with 25 EH/s installed and 22.9 EH/s average operational hashrate, while reaching 17.5 Joules per Terahash ("J/TH") fleet efficiency; record completion of 300 MW of green-energy Tier-I infrastructure brought online in 6 months (from May 2025 to November 2025).

• Land & Power: The company signed an additional 100 MW PPA in Yguazú and bought 10 hectares of land, with energization targeted for Q4 2026. This maintains our growth in Paraguay by an additional 10 EH/s. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company has purchased an additional 63 hectares of land.

Positioning for AI and HPC Growth

Future Capacity & Growth Outlook

• Accelerating AI Revenue: In February 2026, the Company signed a 2-year, $30 million contract for 504 Nvidia B200 GPUs. Expected deployments to be live in calendar Q1 2026 at Bell's Tier-III facility; adds ~$15 million of ARR and lifts HPC annualized revenue ~75% (from $20 million to $35 million). Targeting $140 million ARR by Q4 2026 for GPU AI Cloud with 11,000 GPUs, subject to market conditions and successful infrastructure deployment.

• BUZZ's Growth Plan: Targeting $225 million ARR for total HPC revenue (HPC Tier-III colocation at HIVE's New Brunswick 70 MW Tier-I data center to be converted to 50 MW of IT Load for Tier-III hyperscaler colocation, estimated to generate $85 million ARR in addition to the GPU AI Cloud revenue) by end of calendar 2026 or early 2027 as GPU cloud and colocation capacity expands.

• Strengthened Runway for Scalable Compute: By year-end, HIVE expects to operate a 540 MW energy footprint (440 MW currently operating, plus the additional 100 MW PPA contracted). Existing and incremental megawatts will be evaluated to preserve flexibility for highest-value deployments - toward expanding EH/s or supporting future AI and high-performance computing workloads.

Management Insights

Frank Holmes, HIVE's Executive Chairman, stated, "This quarter marked an inflection point for HIVE. We delivered record revenue, scaled our renewable-powered Tier-I hashrate platform to 25 EH/s and accelerated our AI strategy. These milestones reflect disciplined execution across both engines of our business - Bitcoin hashrate services as the cash generator and BUZZ as our high-growth HPC platform, positioning HIVE for diversified, recurring revenue growth. Demand for AI compute continues to rise, and HIVE is leveraging its long track record in high-performance compute infrastructure and deep technical expertise in AI cloud services and data center operations to capture that opportunity. Notably, we are also positioning Paraguay to be a leader in HPC for Latin America. With abundant and stable green energy, and a government that is strongly-aligned with the United States, we believe Tier-III data centers are the future in Paraguay. Our future deployments in Paraguay will have the architecture and infrastructure footprint for Tier III future deployments as we build out our powered land. Our team has ordered the substation for the additional 100 MW at Yguazú, which we expect to come online in calendar Q3 2026. Moreover, the Company has a strategic alignment with Paraguay's largest Tier III telecom datacenter operator, where we are sending a cluster of high-performance GPUs which will operate on the BUZZ AI Cloud out of Asuncion. Thus, by laying the foundation for long-term and rapid scale HPC Tier III Data Center deployment with our next 100 MW in Yguazú, and curating HIVE's first Latin America GPU AI cloud proof-of-concept this quarter from Asuncion, our vision is to be a first mover in Latin America, powering the AI industrial revolution with renewable energy from Paraguay. HIVE will be a key economic driver for Paraguay, as we anticipate materially contributing to the GDP growth of the country through our data center construction expenditures and stable and long-term consumption of power from the Itaipu Dam, which will strengthen Paraguay's domestic energy market and drive revenue for ANDE and the government. President Santiago Pena has demonstrated great leadership, along with Marcos Riquelme and Ruben Ramirez Lezcano, which gives us the confidence to advance our investments into Paraguay."

Mr. Holmes continued, "Our wholly owned subsidiary, BUZZ AI has begun to demonstrate the scale of its earnings power. With this growth, our early-stage Paraguay platform becomes even more strategic, as we partner with a leading Tier-III telecom data center operator in the country and deploy our first cluster of high-performance GPUs into that facility, demonstrating that our GPU chips have arrived and that Paraguay can be a cornerstone market for BUZZ in Latin America. Tier-I data centers are a critical first step in building the power and infrastructure backbone required for future Tier-III AI and HPC campuses, and we see them as the key runway for grid build-out and long-term capacity planning across our global platform. This is the strategy we are executing in Canada and Sweden today, and now in Paraguay as we develop large-scale, renewable-powered Tier-I capacity that can be systematically upgraded into Tier-III AI and HPC data centers over time."

Aydin Kilic, President & CEO, stated, "This quarter demonstrated HIVE's execution in both our Tier-I hashrate platform and GPU AI Cloud. Our business has scaled substantially over the last year. Notably, our gross operating margin has increased over 6x YoY, from $5.3 million period end December 31, 2024 to $32.1 million this current period end December 31, 2025. At HIVE, we pursue accretive growth with a high-performance work culture, and this exponential growth in gross operating margin relative to corporate G&A reflects our expertise to scale with our Tier-I hashrate platform. Furthermore, this growth in corporate G&A includes added key personnel and talent to our BUZZ HPC and GPU AI Cloud business. In this fiscal quarter, we announced the purchase of 504 next-generation AI-optimized GPUs, and last week, ahead of their installation in March 2026 in the BUZZ Canada West facility, we announced the entire cluster was leased on a two-year fixed term contract valued at $30 million. As we expand BUZZ, we are leveraging our proven infrastructure operating model and deep technical expertise in AI to deliver GPU cloud and colocation capacity quickly and reliably for enterprise customers. With Tier-III+ capacity across Canada, Sweden and a growing pipeline of multi-year GPU cloud and colocation demand, we believe HIVE is positioned to build a durable, high-margin, recurring revenue platform through 2026 and beyond. This dual engine strategy provides continued growth and sustained cashflow as we navigate the recent volatility in Bitcoin hashrate revenues."

Darcy Daubaras, HIVE's CFO, stated, "This quarter demonstrates strong revenue growth and operating margin expansion despite a more competitive hashrate environment. Accelerated depreciation impacted net income, but reflects conservative accounting and disciplined balance sheet management. We believe our cost structure and renewable power strategy position us to generate attractive operating margins as competition increases."

Strategic Positioning

HIVE's "dual-engine" strategy - Bitcoin infrastructure as cash generator and BUZZ AI Cloud as high-growth recurring revenue - provides diversification and capital allocation flexibility.

The Company remains focused on:

• Expanding gross operating margin
• Scaling recurring AI revenue
• Maintaining disciplined G&A growth
• Preserving balance sheet strength

With renewable-powered infrastructure across Canada, Sweden, and Paraguay, HIVE believes it is

positioned to build a durable, margin-driven digital infrastructure platform through 2026 and beyond.

HIVE Delivers Record Q3 Revenue of $93.1 Million with $32.1 Million Gross Operating Margin, Up Over 6x Year-Over-Year

This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated November 25, 2025 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated October 31, 2025.

San Antonio, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - February 17, 2026) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (BVC: HIVECO) (referred to as the "Company" or "HIVE"), a global leader in sustainable data center infrastructure, announced its results for the third quarter ended December 31, 2025 (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).

HIVE delivered record quarterly revenue of $93.1 million, representing 219% year-over-year growth and 7% quarter over quarter growth, and Adjusted EBITDA of $5.7 million. Gross operating margin expanded significantly to $32.1 million (34.5%), up more than sixfold compared to $5.3 million in the prior year period.

This quarter marks the strongest "dual-engine" growth in HIVE's history, driven by the rapid scale-out of its Bitcoin hashrate fleet to an installed base of 25 Exahash per Second ("EH/s") by period end December 31, 2025 and accelerating demand for BUZZ HPC platforms.

Q3 FY2026 Financial Highlights:

• Total Revenue: $93.1 million, a 219% increase from $29.2 million in Q3 FY2025 and a 7% increase over last quarter. Gross operating margin was $32.1 million or 35%³, up from 18% in fiscal Q3 FY2025. See the calculation of direct costs and mining margin included below in this press release.

• Digital Currency Hashrate Revenue: $88.2 million, up 8% from Q2 FY2026, reflecting a 41% quarter-over-quarter increase in average hashrate to 22.9 EH/s, partially offset by approximately 10% lower Bitcoin prices and 15% higher network difficulty. This hashrate revenue was achieved at a direct cost of $57.8 million, of which approximately 90% is energy costs. See the calculation of direct costs included below in this press release.

• Bitcoin Output: Generated 885 Bitcoin, representing a 23% quarter over quarter increase, despite a 15% rise in network difficulty.

• HPC Revenue: BUZZ HPC revenue was $4.9 million during the quarter. This revenue was achieved against direct costs of $2.3 million.

• G&A: $8.4 million, up from $7.8 million in Q2 2026, primarily as a result of increased staff to support HIVE's global expansion, including Paraguay, and the BUZZ HPC business. Notably, while gross operating margin increased more than 6x year-over-year, corporate G&A grew only 1.8x over the same period, demonstrating operating leverage and disciplined scaling.

• Net Loss: GAAP net loss of $91.3 million was primarily driven by $57.4 million in accelerated depreciation related to the Paraguay expansion and non-cash revaluation adjustments. The loss reflects HIVE's decision to depreciate the next-generation ASIC fleet over a two-year cycle, rather than the typical four-year schedule, to reflect the faster pace of efficiency improvements and shorter economic lives of new ASICs-a conservative approach aligned with our strong growth in Paraguay and focus on operating income.

• Adjusted EBITDA¹: $5.7 million.

OPERATING PERFORMANCE: SCALE WITH DISCIPLINE

Infrastructure Expansion

• Completed Paraguay Buildout and Achieved 25 EH/s: Operating 440 megawatts ("MW") of global, hydro-powered capacity with 25 EH/s installed and 22.9 EH/s average operational hashrate, while reaching 17.5 Joules per Terahash ("J/TH") fleet efficiency; record completion of 300 MW of green-energy Tier-I infrastructure brought online in 6 months (from May 2025 to November 2025).

• Land & Power: The company signed an additional 100 MW PPA in Yguazú and bought 10 hectares of land, with energization targeted for Q4 2026. This maintains our growth in Paraguay by an additional 10 EH/s. Subsequent to the quarter end, the Company has purchased an additional 63 hectares of land.

Positioning for AI and HPC Growth

Future Capacity & Growth Outlook

• Accelerating AI Revenue: In February 2026, the Company signed a 2-year, $30 million contract for 504 Nvidia B200 GPUs. Expected deployments to be live in calendar Q1 2026 at Bell's Tier-III facility; adds ~$15 million of ARR and lifts HPC annualized revenue ~75% (from $20 million to $35 million). Targeting $140 million ARR by Q4 2026 for GPU AI Cloud with 11,000 GPUs, subject to market conditions and successful infrastructure deployment.

• BUZZ's Growth Plan: Targeting $225 million ARR for total HPC revenue (HPC Tier-III colocation at HIVE's New Brunswick 70 MW Tier-I data center to be converted to 50 MW of IT Load for Tier-III hyperscaler colocation, estimated to generate $85 million ARR in addition to the GPU AI Cloud revenue) by end of calendar 2026 or early 2027 as GPU cloud and colocation capacity expands.

• Strengthened Runway for Scalable Compute: By year-end, HIVE expects to operate a 540 MW energy footprint (440 MW currently operating, plus the additional 100 MW PPA contracted). Existing and incremental megawatts will be evaluated to preserve flexibility for highest-value deployments - toward expanding EH/s or supporting future AI and high-performance computing workloads.

Management Insights

Frank Holmes, HIVE's Executive Chairman, stated, "This quarter marked an inflection point for HIVE. We delivered record revenue, scaled our renewable-powered Tier-I hashrate platform to 25 EH/s and accelerated our AI strategy. These milestones reflect disciplined execution across both engines of our business - Bitcoin hashrate services as the cash generator and BUZZ as our high-growth HPC platform, positioning HIVE for diversified, recurring revenue growth. Demand for AI compute continues to rise, and HIVE is leveraging its long track record in high-performance compute infrastructure and deep technical expertise in AI cloud services and data center operations to capture that opportunity. Notably, we are also positioning Paraguay to be a leader in HPC for Latin America. With abundant and stable green energy, and a government that is strongly-aligned with the United States, we believe Tier-III data centers are the future in Paraguay. Our future deployments in Paraguay will have the architecture and infrastructure footprint for Tier III future deployments as we build out our powered land. Our team has ordered the substation for the additional 100 MW at Yguazú, which we expect to come online in calendar Q3 2026. Moreover, the Company has a strategic alignment with Paraguay's largest Tier III telecom datacenter operator, where we are sending a cluster of high-performance GPUs which will operate on the BUZZ AI Cloud out of Asuncion. Thus, by laying the foundation for long-term and rapid scale HPC Tier III Data Center deployment with our next 100 MW in Yguazú, and curating HIVE's first Latin America GPU AI cloud proof-of-concept this quarter from Asuncion, our vision is to be a first mover in Latin America, powering the AI industrial revolution with renewable energy from Paraguay. HIVE will be a key economic driver for Paraguay, as we anticipate materially contributing to the GDP growth of the country through our data center construction expenditures and stable and long-term consumption of power from the Itaipu Dam, which will strengthen Paraguay's domestic energy market and drive revenue for ANDE and the government. President Santiago Pena has demonstrated great leadership, along with Marcos Riquelme and Ruben Ramirez Lezcano, which gives us the confidence to advance our investments into Paraguay."

Mr. Holmes continued, "Our wholly owned subsidiary, BUZZ AI has begun to demonstrate the scale of its earnings power. With this growth, our early-stage Paraguay platform becomes even more strategic, as we partner with a leading Tier-III telecom data center operator in the country and deploy our first cluster of high-performance GPUs into that facility, demonstrating that our GPU chips have arrived and that Paraguay can be a cornerstone market for BUZZ in Latin America. Tier-I data centers are a critical first step in building the power and infrastructure backbone required for future Tier-III AI and HPC campuses, and we see them as the key runway for grid build-out and long-term capacity planning across our global platform. This is the strategy we are executing in Canada and Sweden today, and now in Paraguay as we develop large-scale, renewable-powered Tier-I capacity that can be systematically upgraded into Tier-III AI and HPC data centers over time."

Aydin Kilic, President & CEO, stated, "This quarter demonstrated HIVE's execution in both our Tier-I hashrate platform and GPU AI Cloud. Our business has scaled substantially over the last year. Notably, our gross operating margin has increased over 6x YoY, from $5.3 million period end December 31, 2024 to $32.1 million this current period end December 31, 2025. At HIVE, we pursue accretive growth with a high-performance work culture, and this exponential growth in gross operating margin relative to corporate G&A reflects our expertise to scale with our Tier-I hashrate platform. Furthermore, this growth in corporate G&A includes added key personnel and talent to our BUZZ HPC and GPU AI Cloud business. In this fiscal quarter, we announced the purchase of 504 next-generation AI-optimized GPUs, and last week, ahead of their installation in March 2026 in the BUZZ Canada West facility, we announced the entire cluster was leased on a two-year fixed term contract valued at $30 million. As we expand BUZZ, we are leveraging our proven infrastructure operating model and deep technical expertise in AI to deliver GPU cloud and colocation capacity quickly and reliably for enterprise customers. With Tier-III+ capacity across Canada, Sweden and a growing pipeline of multi-year GPU cloud and colocation demand, we believe HIVE is positioned to build a durable, high-margin, recurring revenue platform through 2026 and beyond. This dual engine strategy provides continued growth and sustained cashflow as we navigate the recent volatility in Bitcoin hashrate revenues."

Darcy Daubaras, HIVE's CFO, stated, "This quarter demonstrates strong revenue growth and operating margin expansion despite a more competitive hashrate environment. Accelerated depreciation impacted net income, but reflects conservative accounting and disciplined balance sheet management. We believe our cost structure and renewable power strategy position us to generate attractive operating margins as competition increases."

Strategic Positioning

HIVE's "dual-engine" strategy - Bitcoin infrastructure as cash generator and BUZZ AI Cloud as high-growth recurring revenue - provides diversification and capital allocation flexibility.

The Company remains focused on:

• Expanding gross operating margin
• Scaling recurring AI revenue
• Maintaining disciplined G&A growth
• Preserving balance sheet strength

With renewable-powered infrastructure across Canada, Sweden, and Paraguay, HIVE believes it is positioned to build a durable, margin-driven digital infrastructure platform through 2026 and beyond.

¹ The Company has presented certain non-GAAP measures in this report. The Company uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as a metric that is useful to management, the board and investors for assessing its operating performance on a cash basis before the impact of non-cash items and acquisition related activities. EBITDA is net income or loss from operations, as reported in profit and loss, before finance income and expense, tax and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is EBITDA adjusted for by removing other non-cash items, including share-based compensation, finance expense, depreciation and one-time transactions. The following table provides an illustration of the calculation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the last five quarters:

FAQ

How much revenue did HIVE (HIVE) report for Q3 FY2026?

HIVE reported record Q3 FY2026 revenue of $93.1 million. This represents 219% year-over-year growth from $29.2 million and a 7% increase over the prior quarter, driven mainly by Bitcoin hashrate services plus growing BUZZ high-performance computing revenue.

What was HIVE’s gross operating margin and Adjusted EBITDA in the quarter?

HIVE’s gross operating margin reached $32.1 million, more than six times the prior-year level, with margin around the mid‑30% range. Adjusted EBITDA was $5.7 million, showing positive cash-based performance despite a more challenging Bitcoin pricing and difficulty environment.

Why did HIVE report a $91.3 million GAAP net loss despite strong revenue?

The $91.3 million GAAP net loss was mainly driven by $57.4 million in accelerated depreciation related to Paraguay expansion and other non‑cash revaluation adjustments. HIVE chose a shorter two‑year depreciation cycle for next‑generation ASICs, which increases accounting charges without equivalent cash outflow.

How is HIVE expanding its AI and HPC business through BUZZ?

HIVE signed a 2‑year, $30 million contract for 504 Nvidia B200 GPUs, expected online at a Tier‑III facility. Management expects this to add roughly $15 million of annual recurring revenue and lift total HPC annualized revenue from about $20 million to $35 million.

What infrastructure capacity and hashrate did HIVE operate at quarter-end?

By December 31, 2025, HIVE operated 440 MW of hydro-powered capacity with 25 EH/s of installed Bitcoin hashrate and 22.9 EH/s average operational hashrate. It also signed an additional 100 MW power purchase agreement in Yguazú, Paraguay to support further growth.

Did HIVE issue new shares under its at-the-market equity program?

Yes. For the quarter ended December 31, 2025, HIVE issued 4,925,948 common shares under its November 2025 at‑the‑market program, raising gross proceeds of C$22.0 million (about $15.8 million) at an average price of C$4.47 per share, before commissions.
