BitMine Immersion Technologies, Inc. (OTC PINK:BMNR) ("BitMine," the "Company"), a technology company specializing in immersion technology for Bitcoin mining, announces the signing of a Letter of Intent to lease a property in West Texas that can accommodate up to 20 Megawatts of immersion datacenter equipment. The lease period will last up to 10 years, inclusive of several lease extension options. Fully deployed, the site can run almost 5,000 miners and produce hashing power of almost 600 Petahash of hashing power. A binding lease agreement is subject to due diligence which is expected to take 3-4 weeks, and the negotiation of a mutually acceptable lease agreement.

Effective May 13, 2023, the existing Line of Credit between Innovative Digital Investors Emerging Technology, L.P. and BitMine was increased from $1 million to $1.75 million. Subsequently, $500,000 was drawn primarily to buy ASIC miners for self-mining and resale at the soon-to-be operating BitMine sites in Pecos, TX and Trinidad. The Company hopes to have miners operational at these locations in the next few weeks.

Like other Bitcoin miners, BitMine has seen a recent increase in profitability due to the popularity of Bitcoin Ordinals. Ordinals are a way of creating an inscription by attaching data or inscriptions to fractions of Bitcoin, and in some cases new "BRC-20" tokens are created. This has had the effect of a high degree of transactions and a spike in transaction fees- which directly benefits miners that validate these transactions. Although this has diminished in recent days, we anticipate Ordinals to remain a long term part of the Bitcoin blockchain and affect transaction fee revenue moving forward.

BitMine expects to make announcements very soon regarding the launch of its 2 flagship sites, beginning as early as 2-3 weeks from now.
