HIVE Digital Technologies Accelerates Growth in Paraguay, Surpasses 7 EH/s, Achieves 10% Global Growth in Hashrate, and Reports April 2025 Production of 102 Bitcoin

San Antonio, Texas, May 2025 — HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V: HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE:YO0) (the “Company” or “HIVE) a global leader in sustainable digital infrastructure, is pleased to announce that following the acquisition of Bitfarms’ Yguazú assets in Paraguay and the completion of the first 100 MW phase, while construction advances at HIVE’s Valenzuela site, the Company is rapidly accelerating operations. HIVE has now surpassed 7 Exahash per second (EH/s) of global Bitcoin mining hashrate, representing a 10% month-over-month increase of peak hashrate, with further growth expected every few weeks as new ASIC miners are deployed (all amounts in US dollars, unless otherwise indicated).

Rapid Hashrate Expansion

As of today, HIVE reports a total Bitcoin mining hashrate of 7.3 EH/s (a 10% increase on peak hashrate realized last month of 6.6 EH/s), driven by the energization of its first 100 MW hydro-powered facility in Paraguay. Leveraging both the acquired Bitfarms’ infrastructure and HIVE’s proprietary buildout, the Company is adding approximately 1 EH/s of additional capacity per month, and expects to accelerate this pace to 1 EH/s every two weeks as new hardware arrives. HIVE remains on track to achieve its Phase 1 target of 11.5 EH/s by the end of June 2025.

Key Highlights for April 2025

• Bitcoin Production: 102 Bitcoin produced during April, averaging 3.4 BTC per day or 15.8 BTC per Exahash.

• Mining Efficiency: Average hashrate of 6.5 EH/s during the month, with fleet efficiency of 20.7 joules per terahash; peak hashrate reached 6.6 EH/s.

Executive Commentary

Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of HIVE, stated: “We’re excited by the traction we’re gaining after acquiring Bitfarms’ assets and launching our own site in Paraguay. This expansion provides HIVE with a strategic advantage to scale production using clean hydroelectric power. However, we remain vigilant, as global supply chain challenges and trade tensions over tariffs could introduce potential disruptions. With the Bitcoin price back above $100,000 as of this news release, we expect to reach six Bitcoin per day by the end of June, nearly doubling April’s average daily production. Our disciplined capital allocation, including the redeployment of 30 MW of BUZZ Miners, has already saved us $27 million in capex, accelerating our near-term growth.”

Aydin Kilic, President and CEO of HIVE, added: “Our team has worked around the clock to ensure we hit our milestones. As a performance leader in the industry, HIVE wants to demonstrate to its shareholders and investors the Company’s expertise and proficiency in building and operating data centers globally.

We are pleased to announce that construction of Phase 2 is well underway, which will utilize the Bitmain S21+ Hydro ASIC miners, and the Bitmain Hydro AntSpace containers for our Phase 2 infrastructure in Yguazú have shipped, which will bring online our second 100 MW in Paraguay, and are expected to land in early June. HIVE’s Phase 2 expansion in Paraguay will add an additional 6.5 Exahash of Bitmain S21+ Hydro ASICs, bringing our total hashrate to 18 EH/s by the end of summer.”

Paraguay Expansion Update

HIVE has completed construction and energization of the initial 100 MW phase at the Yguazú site, utilizing a mix of proprietary BUZZ Miners and the latest Bitmain S21+ air-cooled units, with over 20,000 machines expected onsite by the end of May.
