HIVE Blockchain Announces Appointment of Aydin Kilic as Chief Executive Officer
This news release constitutes a “designated news release” for the purposes of the Company’s prospectus supplement dated September 2, 2022 to its amended and restated short form base shelf prospectus dated January 4, 2022.
Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – January 17, 2023) – HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: HBFA) (the “Company” or “HIVE”) is pleased to announce today that the Board of Directors of the Company has appointed Mr. Aydin Kilic as President & Chief Executive Officer. He will report to Executive Chairman Frank Holmes while overseeing the tactical execution of the Company’s global strategies, business development initiatives and engagement with the capital markets.
Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman, stated: “Mr. Kilic was onboarded in the summer of 2021 as President & Chief Operating Officer of HIVE with the vision to replace me as the Interim Chief Executive Officer to be the full time Chief Executive Officer. I can proudly state that Aydin has exceeded expectations and has proven himself to the Board of Directors, the employees under his leadership, shareholders and to myself that he has what it takes to provide senior executive leadership to HIVE. Aydin is a passionate and curious executive dedicated to learning and we have watched Aydin embrace our performance-inspired team culture which is based on the agility mindset and a disciplined focused work ethic. In the last 18 months he guided the Company with achieving its own record-breaking revenues, record returns on invested capital, enviable operational growth in terms of equipment purchases and new infrastructure build-outs and deployments in Sweden and New Brunswick, and he has lead our team into repeatedly being named by independent analysts, such as Anthony Power, as the Most Efficient Miner.” Mr. Holmes continued, “While I will maintain my role in providing a macro-strategic outlook to HIVE through my position as Executive Chairman, I’m proud to say that Aydin has earned this title and it gives me great pleasure to pass him the torch.”
Aydin Kilic stated, “Frank Holmes is a great mentor with invaluable experience and a highly respected innovative track record in the global capital markets, and I am grateful for the opportunity that Frank and the HIVE Board of Directors has provided me. I am excited to continue learning from him, while also pushing the frontier of innovation and excellence at HIVE. My commitment to our Company’s ascent is driven by my enthusiasm to grow value for HIVE shareholders.”
Under Mr. Kilic’s leadership HIVE has reached numerous milestones including but not limited to:
- Completed construction of a 70MW state of the art data center campus in New Brunswick;
- Bitcoin hashrate grew over 200% from 700 PH/s in the summer of 2021 to 2.4 Exahash of Bitcoin mining hashrate in November 2022;
- Achieved a peak Ethereum mining hashrate of 6.5 Terahash prior to the Ethereum merge. HIVE then navigated the Ethereum merge, all while continuing to generate cash flow in the form of Bitcoin from HIVE’s fleet of GPU’s without additional capex;
- The global mining efficiency of HIVE’s fleet of ASICs improved, through the use of software optimization, to optimize gross mining margins during the recent crypto bear market;
- Achieved record quarter of revenue of $68M USD for the 3-month period ending December 31, 2021;
- Mined digital assets with an equivalent value of 4,572 Bitcoin during the 2022 calendar year, a 13% increase to the year prior (digital assets mined of 4,032 Bitcoin) during a period where Bitcoin Network Difficulty increased 46%;
- Successfully launched the HIVE BuzzMiner powered by the Intel Blockscale ASIC;
- Strategically deployed capital to acquire 3,570 S19j Pro miners at steeply discounted pricing during a bear market, when prices were at a 90% discount to the year prior;
- Implemented a forward-thinking energy strategy with hedging programs where HIVE has been able to elect to earn income by selling power back to the grid, and grid-balancing while mining in Sweden; and
- Oversaw the in-house development of multiple R&D initiatives, one of which being the development of HIVE’s immersion mining projects.
The Company has explored various business development initiatives in the last 18 months, including but not limited to large scale expansion into the US, ASIC equipment financing, and lending using Bitcoin as collateral. Mr. Holmes noted, “Our success in the past 18 months comes from both the opportunities we have pursued, but also other opportunities we have researched and decided to forego further to our internal risk analysis, strong governance processes and sophisticated due diligence practices.” Mr. Holmes continued, “Aydin’s appointment is another example my modus operandi of putting proven leaders into earned positions.”
Similarly, in September of 2022, Frank Holmes appointed Gabriel Ibghy to the position of General Counsel after he had proven himself a passionate, agile and self-driven crypto veteran and lawyer who is a dedicated team player and a well-rounded executive and speaks 4 languages. Both Gabriel and Aydin’s appointments demonstrate both the Board’s and our confidence in the battle-tested and accomplished executives who will carry on the torch. In addition, in March 2022 we strengthened our corporate finance team, through the hire of Amarjit Samra to the position of Controller. Amarjit has brought extensive public company technical and reporting experience to the corporate reporting function of HIVE from his previous role with a Vancouver based audit firm.
Complimenting the diverse skill set of our global executive team is Mrs. Johanna Thornblad, Country President of Sweden who also speaks 3 languages. Mr. Kilic noted, “It has been a pleasure working with Johanna, having collaborated with her on numerous executive initiatives, and she has shown tremendous leadership in our ESG strategy and in hedging energy prices. I look to building our HPC initiatives with our unique GPU infrastructure in Sweden.”
HIVE has a high-performance inspired culture, where different teams within HIVE use agility leadership to collaborate and rapidly solve issues. HIVE enables a forum where team members feel safe, can allow ideas to turn into great improvements with support for implementation. Mr. Kilic noted, “I believe our technological advancement in hardware, thermodynamics, software and data center optimization, give us a competitive edge in the digital asset mining sector. Additionally, these optimizations give us a unique edge in our pursuit of new initiatives such as GPU based cloud initiatives. HIVE’s team of coders, analysts and technicians allow us to have one of the highest uptimes in the sector. Our focus is on achieving the highest cash flow return on invested capital, which means streamlining operations for greatest profit, not just scale.”
Mr. Kilic added, “What is scale without efficiency? The race for scale has shown to have many unexpected risks which has proven unfortunate for many excellent companies. We have focused on efficiency in processes, optimization and low cost of debt on our balance sheet. Improvements of operational efficiencies are often low capex initiatives which ultimately reduce risks. We are always looking to improve the efficiency and uptime of our operations as a core strategy. We believe that shareholders value the economies of efficiency, not just scale, as essential to flourish in Bitcoin mining, and we strive to consistently implement economies of efficiency at HIVE.”
Mr. Holmes noted, “We are very mindful about the management and allocation of our human resources, capital, energy, and technology. We have vertically integrated our supply chain of Bitcoin ASIC miners in collaboration with Intel. We have geographically diverse, green-energy focused data centers on our balance sheet. We believe that decentralized data centers that we can build, own and operate, will create sustainable value for our shareholders, as digital asset mining and needs for computing power for AI applications evolve.”
Mr. Holmes concluded, “Ultimately, through excellence and execution, we believe HIVE Blockchain will be a pillar of institutional grade Bitcoin mining. Our executive team brings a seasoned and multi-faceted skillset which are needed in an evolving and volatile industry. More importantly the team has demonstrated profound synergy in the last year, during a polar bear crypto market.”
Mr. Kilic says, “I am excited about riding the great digital transformation with our amazing team of professionals and dedicated employees in the years ahead.”

I. Introduction: The Evolution and Impact of Blockchain Technology
Blockchain technology has evolved from a niche curiosity into a global phenomenon that is reshaping traditional financial systems, supply chains, and even the way we govern and interact with one another. At its core, blockchain offers a decentralized, transparent, and secure method for recording transactions and managing data—a radical departure from the centralized architectures that have defined our institutions for centuries.

II. The Blockchain Group’s Record-Breaking Bitcoin Purchase
A Bold Move in a Volatile Market
In what is being hailed as one of the most significant transactions in the blockchain space this year, The Blockchain Group has recently executed its largest Bitcoin purchase to date, acquiring 580 BTC. This landmark acquisition underscores the growing confidence of institutional players in the long-term potential of Bitcoin and the broader cryptocurrency market. (Source: The Block)
Bitcoin, often regarded as the flagship cryptocurrency, has evolved from a speculative asset to a critical component of diversified portfolios worldwide. The decision by The Blockchain Group to purchase 580 BTC is not merely a financial transaction; it represents a strategic bet on the future of decentralized finance. By amassing such a substantial position, the company signals its commitment to a digital future where blockchain technology underpins global financial systems.
Strategic Rationale and Market Implications
The rationale behind this mega purchase is multi-faceted. First, it serves as a hedge against inflation and economic instability—a safeguard in a world where traditional fiat currencies are increasingly vulnerable to systemic risks. Second, it reflects a broader institutional trend toward integrating digital assets into mainstream investment strategies. With regulators and financial institutions gradually warming up to cryptocurrencies, large-scale acquisitions like this one are likely to become more common.
Furthermore, the move by The Blockchain Group can be seen as a vote of confidence not only in Bitcoin but also in the underlying technology that powers it. The decentralized ledger system offers unparalleled security and transparency, features that are becoming indispensable in today’s digital economy. As more companies adopt blockchain technology for various applications—from supply chain management to digital identity verification—the value proposition of Bitcoin and similar assets is set to rise even further.
Opinion: A Sign of Maturing Markets
In my view, The Blockchain Group’s bold acquisition is a harbinger of the market’s maturation. While early adopters once viewed cryptocurrencies with skepticism, the increasing involvement of institutional investors indicates a shift toward acceptance and integration. This trend is likely to accelerate as more regulatory clarity emerges and technological advancements make blockchain applications even more robust. The strategic importance of Bitcoin in diversified portfolios cannot be overstated—it is fast becoming a digital store of value and a critical asset class for the 21st century.
III. Digital Assets Group Outlines Ambitious Blockchain Policy Goals
Shaping the Regulatory Landscape
In a move that could have profound implications for the entire digital asset ecosystem, Digital Assets Group has recently unveiled its comprehensive blockchain policy goals. According to a detailed report from Fox Business, the group is advocating for a regulatory framework that not only fosters innovation but also ensures robust investor protection and market integrity. (Source: Fox Business)
The policy outline proposed by Digital Assets Group is a response to the increasing demand for clear, consistent regulations in the rapidly evolving world of blockchain and cryptocurrency. With governments around the globe grappling with how best to regulate digital assets, the initiative by Digital Assets Group represents a critical step toward creating a more predictable and stable environment for innovation. Their goals include streamlined licensing processes, improved transparency in digital asset trading, and enhanced measures to prevent fraud and market manipulation.
The Need for Regulatory Clarity
Regulatory uncertainty has long been a stumbling block for blockchain innovation. Many startups and established companies alike have hesitated to fully commit to blockchain projects due to fears of future regulatory crackdowns. By outlining clear policy goals, Digital Assets Group aims to provide much-needed clarity that will encourage investment and accelerate the adoption of blockchain technologies.
Moreover, the initiative recognizes that regulation is not inherently antithetical to innovation. In fact, well-crafted regulatory frameworks can serve as a catalyst for growth by establishing trust and protecting investors. A balanced approach that safeguards against abuse while promoting technological advancement is essential for the sustainable development of the digital asset market.
Opinion: Paving the Way for a New Era
From an opinion perspective, the proactive stance taken by Digital Assets Group is both timely and necessary. In a world where the lines between traditional finance and digital assets are increasingly blurred, regulatory frameworks must evolve to accommodate the unique characteristics of blockchain technology. I believe that by advocating for policies that balance innovation with investor protection, Digital Assets Group is setting the stage for a new era of growth in the cryptocurrency market. Their vision for a regulated yet dynamic digital asset ecosystem is one that could unlock tremendous economic potential while mitigating systemic risks.
IV. Memecore Secures Strategic Venture Investment to Accelerate Blockchain Innovation
Fueling the Next Wave of Blockchain Developments
In another significant development, Memecore has recently secured a strategic venture investment aimed at accelerating its blockchain innovation and ecosystem expansion. Reported by Business Insider, this investment is a clear indication of the growing confidence that investors have in blockchain projects that promise to deliver disruptive technological advancements.

Memecore, a rising star in the blockchain space, is dedicated to creating innovative solutions that leverage the unique capabilities of decentralized technology. The company’s focus on developing scalable, secure, and user-friendly blockchain applications has positioned it as a key player in the race to drive mass adoption of digital assets. With the fresh capital infusion, Memecore plans to expand its research and development efforts, forge new strategic partnerships, and enhance its existing ecosystem—thereby accelerating the pace of innovation in the broader blockchain industry.

As blockchain technology continues to evolve, investments like these will be crucial in bridging the gap between theoretical potential and real-world application. Memecore’s journey serves as a compelling reminder that the future of blockchain lies in continuous innovation and strategic collaboration.
V. ECEQ Transforms Sustainable Finance with Blockchain Innovation
Bridging Technology and Sustainability
A groundbreaking initiative in the realm of sustainable finance has emerged with ECEQ’s announcement of a blockchain-driven transformation project. As detailed in a recent report from Globe Newswire, ECEQ is leveraging blockchain technology to promote transparency, efficiency, and accountability in sustainable finance—a sector that is rapidly gaining importance as investors and companies alike seek to align profitability with environmental and social governance. (Source: Globe Newswire)
ECEQ’s project aims to integrate blockchain into sustainable finance platforms, enabling secure tracking of carbon credits, improved monitoring of sustainability metrics, and streamlined reporting processes. This initiative not only enhances the reliability of sustainability data but also provides stakeholders with a verifiable, tamper-proof record of environmental impact. By harnessing the inherent strengths of blockchain—its decentralization, immutability, and transparency—ECEQ is poised to revolutionize the way sustainable finance is conducted.
The Intersection of Blockchain and Sustainable Finance
The convergence of blockchain technology and sustainable finance represents a promising frontier for both industries. For traditional financial institutions and emerging fintech startups alike, the ability to track, verify, and report on sustainability metrics is becoming increasingly valuable. Blockchain’s decentralized ledger offers an ideal platform for this purpose, providing real-time, transparent insights that can drive better decision-making and foster trust among investors.
ECEQ’s initiative is particularly noteworthy because it addresses two critical challenges simultaneously: the need for greater environmental accountability and the demand for more efficient financial systems. By integrating blockchain into its operations, ECEQ is not only enhancing the sustainability of financial transactions but also setting a new benchmark for corporate responsibility in the digital age.
Opinion: A Model for Future Innovation
In my opinion, ECEQ’s innovative approach to merging blockchain with sustainable finance is a model for future projects that aim to address global challenges through technology. As the world grapples with the twin imperatives of economic growth and environmental stewardship, initiatives like this are essential in demonstrating how technology can be harnessed for the greater good. ECEQ’s project is a testament to the power of blockchain to transform traditional systems and drive meaningful change—a trend that is likely to gain momentum in the coming years.
VI. French Blockchain Group’s $54 Million Bitcoin Holdings
A Testament to Global Crypto Confidence
In a striking development that underscores the global appetite for digital assets, a prominent French blockchain group has revealed that its Bitcoin holdings are now valued at an impressive $54 million. Decrypt reports that this sizeable accumulation of Bitcoin reflects the group’s long-term investment strategy and its unwavering belief in the potential of cryptocurrencies as a transformative asset class. (Source: Decrypt)
The substantial Bitcoin holdings of the French blockchain group serve as a powerful signal to the market. They not only highlight the growing institutional acceptance of cryptocurrencies but also reinforce the notion that Bitcoin is increasingly being viewed as a store of value and a hedge against economic uncertainty. As more organizations around the world allocate significant portions of their portfolios to digital assets, the overall market sentiment continues to shift toward widespread adoption.
Implications for the Crypto Market
The impressive valuation of $54 million in Bitcoin holdings by a European blockchain entity is significant for several reasons. Firstly, it demonstrates that even in regions that have traditionally been more cautious about cryptocurrencies, there is a burgeoning confidence in the long-term prospects of digital assets. Secondly, it highlights the diversification strategies being employed by blockchain groups, which are increasingly looking to cryptocurrencies as a means to secure financial stability and drive future growth.
This development also has broader implications for the global crypto market. As institutional investors and blockchain organizations continue to build substantial Bitcoin reserves, the overall market dynamics are likely to shift in favor of a more mature and resilient ecosystem. The French group’s strategy may well inspire similar initiatives across Europe and beyond, fostering a climate of increased investment and innovation in the cryptocurrency space.
Opinion: Embracing a Global Digital Future
From an opinion-driven standpoint, the bold move by the French blockchain group is a clear indication that the era of digital assets is truly global. Their substantial Bitcoin holdings underscore a growing trend among organizations worldwide to embrace cryptocurrencies as a core component of their financial strategy. I believe this move not only reflects confidence in the future of Bitcoin but also serves as a rallying cry for other institutions to consider the transformative potential of decentralized finance. As global adoption accelerates, we can expect to see a wave of similar investments that collectively reshape the financial landscape.
VII. Synthesis: Emerging Trends and Strategic Implications in Blockchain
