Frankfurt/Main – 20 October 2023 – Northern Data Group (Ticker symbol German stock market: NB2, ISIN: DE000A0SMU87), today provided an update on its mining business activities for the month of September. Peak Mining, part of Northern Data Group, produced a total of 174 Bitcoin in September 2023, generating revenues of EUR 4.3 million, roughly 2% more than the corresponding figure for the previous month. Year-to-date BTC revenue thus totals EUR 43.7 million.

In Europe, Northern Data Group participates in a grid demand response program (balancing the demand on power grids), which generated approximately EUR 0.3 million of additional income in September corresponding to a year-to-date income of EUR 2.5 million from the program.

In September, Peak Mining announced its purchase of more than 7 Exahashs (EH/s) of the latest generation WhatsMiners from MicroBT, with a total contract value of USD 150 million. Prices are fixed for M53S+/M53S++ and M50S+/M50S++ models. Furthermore, Peak Mining has the option to purchase an additional USD 150 million of hardware.

Peak Mining is one of the first to adopt the newest liquid-cooling mining technology at this scale, to be deployed across various locations globally. The new hardware can be efficiently cooled in warmer climates, has lower operational overhead and maintenance, and can be overclocked within warranty to increase performance and hash rate output. The first batch of the latest, next-generation liquid-cooled miners is expected to be delivered in October 2023 and installed at our 30MW location in North Dakota.

The company had a self-mining hash rate of around 3.75 EH/s and 40,248 ASIC systems installed on the Bitcoin network at the end of September 2023 (about the same level as previous month).
