VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Dec. 03, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI), a leading intellectual property-driven technology company, is pleased to announce the completion of its acquisition of a bitcoin mining facility in Sturgeon County, Alberta, Canada. Acquired for $1.5 million in cash, this cutting-edge facility represents a cornerstone of AgriFORCE’s integrated strategy, blending sustainable energy, advanced data operations, and innovative agricultural solutions.<\/p>\n

\n A High-Value Opportunity<\/strong>
\n
The facility, powered by 1.2 MW of natural gas energy, currently supports over 130 bitcoin mining units and has the scalability to accommodate up to 250 units. This capability delivers immediate and long-term revenue streams while advancing environmental sustainability through the use of flare natural gas-powered operations. These efficiencies create additional opportunities for income generation by integrating high-yield agricultural initiatives.<\/p>\n

\n Chairman David Welch<\/strong>\u00a0highlighted the strategic benefits of this acquisition:
\u201cThis facility exemplifies our ability to execute on a self-sustaining, scalable business model. By generating revenue from bitcoin mining and seamlessly integrating sustainable agriculture operations, we can offset operational costs and retain the Bitcoin we mine (‘HODL’). This positions us to maximize the future value of our assets while maintaining operational efficiency and financial stability. It\u2019s a forward-looking strategy that aligns perfectly with our commitment to innovation, sustainability, and long-term stakeholder value.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n Revolutionizing Sustainability and Profitability<\/strong>
\n
\n CEO Jolie Kahn<\/strong>\u00a0described the transformational potential of the acquisition:
\u201cThis acquisition is a game-changer, establishing AgriFORCE as a leader at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and agriculture. By repurposing waste energy from flare gas-powered generators, the facility reduces environmental impact and drives multiple revenue streams, including bitcoin mining and agricultural operations such as micro-greens, red seaweed, and white-legged shrimp farming.\u201d<\/p>\n

This innovative use of energy maximization creates a replicable model that enhances profitability and resource efficiency, setting a benchmark for sustainable industrial practices.<\/p>\n

\n Competitive Advantage and Strategic Vision<\/strong>
\n
The Sturgeon County facility reinforces AgriFORCE’s competitive edge and supports the Company\u2019s strategic pillars:<\/p>\n
