These initiatives contributed to increasing our hashrate to 4.5 EH/s as of December 31, 2022, over 100% from the beginning of 2022. Looking ahead, we plan to leverage our existing infrastructure in Argentina and utilize equipment credits to prudently expand our EH/s to 6.0 with our existing assets by year end 2023. With our strengthened balance sheet, we are actively evaluating potential acquisitions that we expect to be accretive and complement our geographically diverse mining operations."
