The Company confirmed at the AGM that it has applied to have the cease trade orders in respect of its shares revoked. While the Company will undertake all reasonable efforts to have the cease trade orders revoked as soon as possible, there can be no assurance that the cease trade orders will be revoked. The Company will continue to provide further updates when available.

Key Priorities: Server Upgrades and Strategic Partnerships

In addition to continuing to seek strategic opportunities, the Company highlighted its next generation Bitmain Bitcoin server upgrade program — which has enabled the Company to increase the maximum hashrate at its US datacenter — as a key operational focus. In September 2019, HyperBlock confirmed it had invested US $2.7M in Bitmain 7nm servers, boosting its Bitcoin mining power and better positioning the Company for future growth. On January 21, 2020, the company announced its US subsidiary had secured up to US $3.5M in debt financing to invest in additional Bitmain server upgrades which, when fully deployed, are expected to further increase computational power and revenue generating potential at its US datacenter.
