With today’s Bitcoin halving, DMG is well prepared for this major economic event and expects to benefit from the changing market environment.DMG releases its newly created mining overview summarizing the Company’s current institutional-grade Bitcoin mining activities for various interested new customers and shareholders.As part of its successful growth strategy, DMG further expands its business development activities and prepares for new major projects.VANCOUVER, British Columbia, May 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (DMGI.V) (DMGGF:OTC US) (FRANKFURT:6AX) (“DMG” or the “Company”), a diversified blockchain and technology company, is pleased to announce a positive corporate outlook for the next few months.Bitcoin Halving EventBitcoin’s next halving is upon us, and trading volumes indicate an all-time high level of interest in this important event, the third in the short lifespan of the world’s original and most valuable cryptocurrency. In general, DMG expects that the halving will be a bullish catalyst for Bitcoin’s price, which is supported by even stronger macroeconomic catalysts, including unprecedented central bank monetary policies, that may drive Bitcoin’s price in the coming months and years.Dan Reitzik, DMG’s CEO, commented: “One of the reasons Bitcoin was created was to combat increasing inflation, driven by issuing more and more fiat currency. This is the reason ‘halvings’ occur every 4 years, to reduce the supply of new bitcoin created over time, leading to deflation. DMG sees a tremendous upside opportunity for Bitcoin price increases and subsequently for the Company’s, and our clients’ profitability in both the near and long term.”Bitcoin halving events occur every four years when block rewards paid to Bitcoin miners are cut by 50%. The current block reward of 12.5 BTC will be reduced to 6.25 BTC today. Market data suggests market participants may see increased demand in the form of diverted mining resources, in addition to the reduction in new BTC supply after the halving, which might significantly support the Bitcoin price.Sheldon Bennett, DMG’s COO added: “DMG invested substantial capital in building its state-of-the-art mining facility and its related power infrastructure as well as attracting long term hosting clients. As a consequence, DMG is very well positioned for future growth and our management team remains extremely excited about the prospects DMG has, both as a hosting company and as a software company, focusing on the rapidly growing cryptocurrency vertical market, including software and services.”New Mining OverviewToday DMG released a new mining overview about the Company’s successful institutional-grade Bitcoin mining business activities and promising growth prospects which can be accessed at DMG’s website at www.dmgblockchain.com/mining2020.

Now with a track record of industry high operating uptime and time for the team to troubleshoot bringing such a large facility on-line, DMG is focusing on expanding its mining and developing more business with third parties. DMG’s core business will continue to be its crypto mining efforts as well as Mining as a Service; however, DMG is also, as announced earlier this year, moving to immersion cooling which is attracting new clients (who are not necessarily focused on crypto assets) as well as additional clients who are early adopters in large scale immersion. Along with immersion, DMG is planning a commercial release of its crypto mining software, which is already under license for a select number of companies testing the software. So far the reviews have been positive and with client input, DMG is adding features before its planned commercial release later this year.Over the last half year DMG has also been consulting to other mining companies on its technology, supply chain and design for crypto facilities. This service is growing and DMG plans to increase this consulting service to include the sale of proprietary equipment that it designs and uses for operations. The Company is already in negotiations with multiple parties on its container solutions for remote areas but is also adding to its sales racking, power channels and cooling systems.To support this expansive growth strategy, DMG entered into a business development agreement with Onyx Capital from Europe, which will be responsible to advise DMG’s management in its global growth initiative and business development efforts.DMG’s CEO Dan Reitzik added: “We are very excited to ramp-up our international business expansion and continue our constant growth, and we are extremely confident that DMG is very well positioned for the post-halving time ahead of us. DMG made a wise decision to have a blended model of self-mining and hosting for third party clients. This focus on attracting large scale hosting clients and expanding and upgrading our self-mining fleet is because successful crypto-mining is a function of creating cost efficiencies, and our mining facility is very well suited for both our self-mining and for large industrial miners. We welcome Onyx as our business development partners and new shareholders.”On March 13, 2020, DMG announced that it had fully implemented its Work from Home (“WFH”) initiative to further protect its office employees and the general public, in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. This was successfully implemented and continues to remain in effect. DMG has always allowed its software engineers to work remotely as necessary, and all employees are experienced with the various remote collaboration software tools the Company utilizes daily. DMG’s proprietary mine management software is fully deployed allowing its technicians to remotely monitor the operations such as hash rates, temperature, power consumption, performance, etc. If repairs are needed, staff at the facility are notified of the issue and what is needed to be done for repairs so they can take the necessary action. The data centre is approximately 27,000 square feet and therefore employees have substantial personal space and distancing from one another. DMG has now started to prepare to make this WFH initiative also available and applicable for several forthcoming new projects and further business developments, both domestically and internationally, allowing the Company to continue its growth ultimately unaffected by the global Covid-19 pandemic.About DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc.DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. is a diversified blockchain and cryptocurrency company that manages, operates and develops end-to-end solutions to monetize the blockchain ecosystem.
