TAAL Announces 2021 Second-Quarter Revenue of $6.7 Million, and Adjusted EBITDA of $629,000
TAAL Distributed Information Technologies Inc. (CSE: TAAL) (FWB: 9SQ1) (OTC: TAALF) (“TAAL” or the “Company”), a vertically integrated blockchain infrastructure and service provider for enterprise, announced today its financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021. These filings are available for review on the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com and on the Company’s website at www.taal.com. All financial information in this press release is reported in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated.
Second Quarter Highlights
- As of June 30, 2021, TAAL held approximately 100,900 BitcoinSV (“BSV”) in treasury
- Gross revenues of $6.7 million for the second quarter ended June 30, 2021, represented an increase of almost 7 times compared to Q1 2021
- Adjusted EBITDA* for the quarter was $629,000. Net loss for the period was $10.1 million, largely due to the loss on the revaluation of digital assets.
- TAAL purchased 3,000 Bitmain S19j Pro Blockchain computers due for delivery in Q1, 2022
- WhatsOnChain continues to deliver on its promise to be the world’s BSV block explorer and data provider, attracting 33.5 million web and API requests in June, and 40 million API requests in July.
Subsequent to the Quarter
The Company has upgraded its previously announced purchase of 1,000 Bitmain S19J hashing machines to 900 S19J Pro model. The machines will provide the same amount of hashing power while requiring less electricity and space to host. The additional investment is approximately $1 million.
The BitcoinSV blockchain has seen an increase in large blocks routinely being processed. These larger blocks are resulting in higher transaction fees in addition to the block subsidy reward of 6.25 BSV per block. In July TAAL earned 371 BSV from transaction processing fees and 737 so far in August. This is compared to 105 and 138 BSV in fees for May and June respectively.
August has been a month of new records for TAAL and the BSV blockchain. First TAAL successfully mined 3, 1 GB blocks setting a new block size record. More recently, there was a block of 1.2GB, and for the first time ever transaction fees exceeded block subsidy reward. The excitement continued with the first ever 2GB Block, earning 10 BSV in fees, in addition to the 6.25 BSV reward subsidy. Scaling the network with bigger blocks that hold more transactions and data supports TAAL’s long-term view that transaction processing fees will generate far more income that block rewards. TAAL is developing tools and services that help developers and enterprise access the power of Bitcoin.
On the strength of increasing numbers of large blocks successfully mined on the BSV network, the Bitcoin Association has issued an advisory, supported by TAAL, for miners to increase the hard cap settings on Bitcoin SV to 2GB, as of August 13, 2021. This network scaling with bigger blocks that hold more transactions and data supports increased transaction capacity while maintaining low transaction fees to facilitate use and utility.
Stefan Matthews, TAAL Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, “The solid results that we report today for Q2 2021 reflect the success of our team through several strategic initiatives. The first half of 2021 saw growth of our processing power as we prepare for higher transaction volumes on BitcoinSV. Bigger blocks, more transactions, and more data on chain are all strong indications of BSV adoption. TAAL is well positioned to accelerate our strategy to grow BSV application development as well as enterprise demand.”

Blocks & Headlines: Today in Blockchain – April 25, 2025 | BitNile, Dutch Blockchain Week, Citigroup, Philippine Blockchain Week, D.O.G.E Foundation
Blockchain’s metamorphosis from niche ledger technology to the backbone of Web3 has never been more evident. Today, we cover five stories that illustrate the evolving ecosystem: a gaming platform issuing its own token on Solana; Europe’s marquee Web3 summit; a major bank forecasting a “ChatGPT moment” for blockchain; a Southeast Asian conference aimed at busting crypto myths; and a foundation rebuilding blockchain from the ground up to solve scalability. Each development—whether product launch, industry gathering, macro forecast, educational initiative, or infrastructure innovation—offers a window into the trends shaping decentralized finance, NFTs, DeFi, and beyond.
1. BitNile.com to Launch Nile Coin on Solana
News Summary
Hyperscale Data’s subsidiary BitNile.com will introduce the Nile Coin on Solana starting May 1, 2025. The U.S.–based social gaming site chose Solana for its high throughput and low fees, aiming to enhance in-game economies, reward engagement, and deliver seamless micro-transactions. Details on tokenomics and governance are forthcoming, but management touts Nile Coin as a cornerstone of future gaming experiences.

Analysis & Commentary
Launching a proprietary token underscores two converging trends: the gamification of finance and finance-ification of gaming. By minting Nile Coin, BitNile.com taps into DeFi mechanics—staking, liquidity pools, NFT rewards—while leveraging Solana’s scalability. Strategically, BitNile.com positions itself for partnerships with NFT marketplaces and DeFi protocols, potentially opening secondary markets for in-game assets and generating new revenue streams beyond ad sales or subscription fees.

3. Citigroup Predicts Blockchain’s “ChatGPT Moment”
News Summary
In an April 23 report, Citigroup analysts argue that 2025 could be blockchain’s “ChatGPT moment,” driven by regulatory clarity around stablecoins and integration with traditional financial systems. They forecast stablecoin market capitalization ballooning to $1.6 trillion (base case) or as much as $3.7 trillion (bull case) by 2030—anchored by dollar-denominated issuers and collateralized with U.S. Treasuries. Regulatory frameworks like the GENIUS Act could catalyze adoption among banks and fintechs.
