Cathedra Bitcoin Inc. (TSX-V: CBIT; OTCQX: CBTTF)
(“Cathedra”), a Bitcoin company that develops and operates
world-class bitcoin mining infrastructure, and Great American
Mining (“GAM”) (together, the “Companies”), a bitcoin
mining company that provides a solution for oil and gas companies
to reduce flaring and increase oil production, today announce the
Companies have amended their original partnership agreement to
provide for the conclusion of the business relationship by
September 15, 2022 (the “Conclusion Date”).
In 2021, the Companies entered into a business relationship (the
“Original Relationship”) under which Cathedra purchased 12
bitcoin mining containers from GAM and outfitted them with its own
bitcoin mining machines. GAM designed and produced the containers,
installed the mining machines therein, and deployed the containers
on a site in North Dakota (the “Site”) throughout the course
of 2021, where they have been operating using flared gas as a power
source. Under the Original Relationship, Cathedra has paid to
purchase the gas and lease the generators and has remitted a
portion of the mined bitcoin to GAM in the form of a revenue
share.
Due to severe winter weather conditions that resulted in up to
four feet of snow accumulation in multiple storms, the Cathedra and
GAM bitcoin mining operation saw its performance impaired
throughout the month of April, operating at an average of 45% of
expected hash rate during the month. Current hash rate levels and
operating conditions have now returned to normal.
Additionally, the Companies were recently notified by their
generator provider that the generator lease rate would be
increasing by over 50%. In light of this higher cost and the
adverse effect it will have on mining economics at the Site, the
Companies have mutually agreed to work toward a conclusion of the
business relationship and have entered into an amended agreement
that governs the terms of the wind-up (the “Amendment”).
Under the Amendment, Cathedra has agreed to collect its bitcoin
mining machines from the Site on or before the Conclusion Date.
Cathedra intends to redeploy these machines in its own mobile
bitcoin mining containers, the production of which Cathedra began
in March, on an off-grid site with more beneficial economic
characteristics.
Pursuant to the Amendment, GAM will purchase the 12 containers
back from Cathedra for approximately US$935,750, or net book value,
on or before the Conclusion Date. GAM intends to outfit these
containers with its own mining machines and redeploy them on
another site of its choosing.
The Companies have also agreed to modify the terms of the
revenue share for the remaining months of the business
relationship. Under the Amendment, GAM will receive a flat share of
25% of bitcoin mined each month.
“GAM has been a first-class partner for Cathedra in this stage
of our company’s growth. We appreciate GAM’s excellent work
building and outfitting our containers, deploying them in North
Dakota, and maintaining them on our behalf. We look forward to
installing our machines at a low-cost site upon the conclusion of
the business relationship. We wish the GAM team the very best in
their future endeavors,” remarked AJ Scalia, CEO of Cathedra
Bitcoin.
“Cathedra has been a great partner for us as we have scaled the
company over the past year from approximately 1 megawatt to over 20
megawatts of deployed hash rate on the oil fields of North Dakota.
We would like to thank Cathedra and their management team for the
partnership to date, and wish them the best of luck,” commented
Todd Garland, Founder and CEO of Great American Mining.
