Bitcoin’s next evolution may be defined less by raw megawatts than by rigor—rigor in carbon accounting, regulatory compliance, and balance-sheet discipline. “We are a low-cost provider of hashing*,” says Sheldon Bennett, the CEO of DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSXV: DMGI | OTCQB: DMGGF), “and our HODL** has been growing.” [*Hashing is the high-speed cryptographic computation that secures the Bitcoin network; **HODL—short for “Hold On for Dear Life”—refers to the company’s ever-expanding treasury of unsold coins.]
DMG began life in 2017 as the first pure-play public bitcoin miner and has since evolved well beyond the pick-and-shovel model. Today the vertically integrated company operates data centers, develops blockchain software, and—through its fully regulated Systemic Trust Company—custodies digital assets for institutions under stringent AML (anti-money-laundering), KYC (know-your-customer), and OFAC (Office of Foreign Assets Control, U.S. Department of the Treasury) standards. That trust subsidiary, Bennett notes, lets DMG earn yield on its coins instead of merely choosing between “sell it” or “hold it,” creating a third, transaction-driven revenue stream.
Investors got a taste of that strategy in the latest financials: second-quarter revenue jumped 26% year-over-year to C$12.6 million as the fleet’s average hashrate surged to 1.76 EH/s. Preliminary May data show 31 bitcoin mined on 1.89 EH/s, with the firm briefly touching its 2.1 EH/s target after deploying new Bitmain S21+ Hydro rigs; treasury holdings sat at 350 coins even after opportunistic sales to prune debt with Sygnum Bank. “Our costs are coming down, and we have new revenue lines coming in,” Bennett tells host Tracy Hughes.
Why, then, is the ticker DMGI still a whisper in many portfolios? Bennett points to market psychology: “Most investors look at U.S. markets when they look at bitcoin miners… we’re not a U.S.-listed stock.” The company’s deliberate aversion to PR noise compounds the obscurity. “We don’t put out a lot of fluff… when we do press release, something’s happened that everybody should know about.” Recent examples include breaking the 2 EH/s barrier and converting air-cooled rigs to liquid immersion, a move designed to tame summer heat.
Environmental, social, and governance claims in crypto can border on greenwash, but DMG built TerraPool—a clean-power mining collective co-founded with Argo Blockchain—to quantify its carbon ledger. Membership is reserved for miners running on renewables; transactions across the pool are certified carbon-free. “There’s no other pool that’s OFAC compliant, AML compliant, KYC compliant and carbon neutral,” Bennett says, adding that institutions are already paying a premium for bitcoins bearing that provenance.
