H4shr8 Crypto Mining Podcast

Welcome back to The Mining Pod! For this week’s Bitcoin Stock Show, Colin welcomes Hive Executive Chairman Frank Holmes and CEO Aydin Kilic to discuss the company’s LOI to acquire Bitfarms’ 200 MW bitcoin mine in Yguazú, Paraguay for $85 million ($56 million for the site, $19 million for the PPA, and $10 million for construction contract). Once fully energized, the acquisition and Hive’s other, 100 MW site in Paraguay should catapult the company from 6 to 25 EH/s under management. During the conversation, Holmes and Aydin discuss why they are putting so many chips on Paraguay, the timeline for the 200 MW site’s completion, why they are outfitting it with Antminer S21 Hydros, and more.  Timestamps: 00:00 Start 01:52 Deal process 07:48 Capital access & foreign mining sites 17:24 Tariffs on energy 24:15 Paraguay roll out phases 28:58 Cooling 32:02 Deal hand off 33:22 PPA 34:35 Regional power make up 39:24 Other Paraguay site? 40:08 2025 predictions 43:57 Energy as sovereign asset Published twice weekly, "The
