This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s prospectus supplement dated February 2, 2021 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated January 27, 2021.

Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – November 16, 2021) – HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: HBF) (the “Company” or “HIVE”) is pleased to announce a record earnings report for the second quarter ended September 30, 2021 (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).

For the three-month period, revenue rose to $52.6 Million, up 41% compared with last quarter, and 305% since the same quarter last year. Net income reached $59.8 million, up 342% from last quarter, and 549% since the prior year.

HIVE ended the September quarter holding 1,116 Bitcoin (“BTC”) worth $48.4 Million and 25,154 Ether (“ETH”) worth $74.7 Million.

Frank Holmes, HIVE’s Executive Chairman, stated “We wish to thank our loyal shareholders for believing in our vision to mine both Ethereum and Bitcoin to generate robust cash flow returns on invested capital and believe this report validates the significant contribution to our strategy to mine both BTC and ETH and HODL as many coins as possible.”

Q2 Quarterly Highlights- September 30, 2021

  • Generated revenue from digital currency mining of $52.6 million, with a gross mining margin[1] of $45.0 million;
  • Mined 656 Bitcoin and over 8,688 Ethereum during the three-month period ended September 30, 2021;
  • Earned net income of $59.8 million for the period;
  • Working capital increased by $29.7 million during the three-month period ended September 30, 2021; and
  • Digital currency assets of $123.1 million, as at September 30, 2021

Q2 F2022 Financial Review

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, revenue from digital currency mining was $52.6 million, an increase of approximately 305% from the prior year primarily due to an increase in cryptocurrency prices, the increased production of Bitcoin as a result of the Quebec and Atlantic facility acquisition and the purchase of miners for those facilities.

Gross mining margin1 during the period was $45.0 million, or 86% of income from digital currency mining, compared to $9.2 million, or 71% of income from digital currency mining, in the same period in the prior year. The Company’s gross mining margin from digital currency mining is partially dependent on external network factors including mining difficulty, the amount of digital currency rewards and fees it receives for mining, as well as the market price of digital currencies.

Net income during the quarter ended September 30, 2021, was $59.8 million, or $0.16 per share, compared to $9.2 million, or $0.03 per share, the same period last year. The improvement was driven primarily by the improvement in gross mining margin1, higher Ethereum and Bitcoin prices, gains on the sale of digital currencies, and foreign exchange.

About HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd.

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. went public in 2017 as the first cryptocurrency mining company with a green energy and ESG strategy.

HIVE is a growth-oriented technology stock in the emergent blockchain industry. As a company whose shares trade on a major stock exchange, we are building a bridge between the digital currency and blockchain sector and traditional capital markets. HIVE owns state-of-the-art, green energy-powered data centre facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Iceland, where we source only green energy to mine on the cloud and HODL both Ethereum and Bitcoin. Since the beginning of 2021, HIVE has held in secure storage the majority of its ETH and BTC coin mining rewards. Our shares provide investors with exposure to the operating margins of digital currency mining, as well as a portfolio of cryptocurrencies such as ETH and BTC. Because HIVE also owns hard assets such as data centers and advanced multi-use servers, we believe our shares offer investors an attractive way to gain exposure to the cryptocurrency space. HIVE traded over 2 billion shares in 2020.
