Vancouver, British Columbia --March 21, 2018 -- DMG Blockchain
Solutions Inc. (OTC:
DMGGF) (TSXV: DMGI)
(“DMG” or the “Company”) a diversified blockchain and cryptocurrency company,
announced today that it has sold out it’s current capacity of 2,650 mining rigs
for its cryptocoin Mining-as-a-Service (MaaS) business. Under the unique MaaS
business model, customers purchase the mining rigs and receive all the bitcoin
directly and DMG provides hosting and management services - a stable and
predictable revenue stream. Additionally, the company’s Q1 operational
milestones include construction of a new 85 megawatt mining facility, the
acquisition of A.I. leader Blockseer, and signed agreements with key partners
including D-Link, Primary Engineering, Emerald Therapeutics, Mogo, Foreside
Financial, and Bitmasters.
DMG CEO Dan Reitzik commented, “This is the first quarterly report for our
shareholders and the first of many to come. We continue to provide our
shareholders with opportunities other crypto players do not see, or are unable
to execute on, due to our experience and relationships built over several years
in the industry. DMG is not only establishing itself as the leader in crypto
mining but in blockchain and AI platform development with our recent acquisition
of Blockseer. Our pipeline is strong and exciting and few have it. In fact,
market weakness has created more opportunities for DMG as power providers are
getting more educated as to who they want to deal with. We thank our investors
and customers for all their support to date.”
MaaS Currently Sold Out
To date, DMG has received overwhelming demand for its MaaS service, meaning DMG
is currently completely sold out of available capacity (4MW) allocated to this
service. Major orders have come from leading Japanese clients including Foresid e
Financial and Bitmasters. An additional 40 megawatts of capacity is expected to
be in place this spring (May/June 2018), and we have now started discussions
regarding additional orders, primarily from Asian clients.
DMG Focus
DMG recognized from inception that an experienced management team with deep
knowledge of cryptocurrency and blockchain technology is requisite to be
successful. Our management team includes three former executives from Bitfury
(considered to be the world’s second largest bitcoin mining company). Our
technology team includes Danny Yang, a Stanford Ph.D. in Computer Science and
Artificial Intelligence, and Tim Eller, Ph.D (Mathematics), a graduate of UCLA,
Cambridge and Harvard. The team includes developers having worked at Uber, Lyft,
Google, and Facebook. With Blockseer’s deep understanding of Blockchain
transactions, DMG is poised to be a leader in cryptocurrency forensics. DMG’s
Forensics business is led by Certified Fraud Examiner (CFE) Simon Padgett, an
English chartered accountant (ACCA) with a Canadian CPA and MBA from University
of Oxford.
DMG Business Strategy
DMG’s primary objective is to monetize the Blockchain ecosystem. DMG does this
in three ways: 1) mining cryptocurrency on an industrial scale (processing
global bitcoin transactions), 2) extracting rich data analytics from public
blockchains, 3) providing enterprises with permissioned blockchain solutions
that create efficiencies and new sources of revenue by combining DMG’s
proprietary blockchain technology with the customer’s deep domain knowledge. To
achieve this, DMG brings unique expertise for: 1) mining at scale - tens of
megawatts of mining, which may expand to hundreds, 2) merging artificial
intelligence (AI) with blockchain technology, which together can enable new
business models for monetization of data.
DMG Operations
DMG is building an organization focused on operational excellence. DMG aims to
achieve this in several ways: 1) further expand the team with the experience to
meet and exceed set goals, 2) implement a tightly integrated supply chain
whereby suppliers and subcontractors are partners integral to the operations
planning process, 3) diligently manage complexity by continuously simplifying
both the business model and operational procedures.
Bitcoin Mining
DMG is on track to becoming one of North America’s leading bitcoin mining
companies, and is in the process of adding significant new capacity for bitcoin
mining. Under the leadership of Sheldon Bennett, who previously led Bitfury’s
Canadian industrial mining deployment, DMG has begun to energize this new
flagship facility, which at capacity, should have up to 85 megawatts of power.
Once fully operational, this will be North America’s largest single location
crypto-mining facility. For context, 85 megawatts can power a small city with a
population of about 50,000 residents. The facility is currently equipped with
over 4 megawatts, and we expect an additional 40 megawatts readied by late
Spring 2018. The remaining infastructure is expected to be ready by Fall 2018
which is able toprovide 85 megawatts in total.
Blockseer and AI
Additionally, DMG has moved to bring together the world’s of blockchain and
artificial intelligence with the acquisition of Silicon Valley-based Blockseer (Datient
Inc.). Blockseer has an expanding team of blockchain, AI, and data scientists
based in Silicon Valley and an existing, established customer base that includes
Bitstamp, Intuit, and Blockchain.info, one of the world’s largest cryptocurrency
wallet providers. This acquisition also vaults DMG into a leadership position in
Blockchain Forensics, with the proprietary analytics to service a variety of
clients, including government agencies such as the FBI, Homeland Security, and
the IRS as well as legal and accounting firms. The merging of AI and blockchain
technologies have a wide variety of possible applications, including anti-money
laundering (AML), cryptocurrency trading analytics, anonymized data mining of
permissioned blockchains and blockchain solutions where data itself is the
asset. AI is a significant growth market with a “a compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 57% between 2017 and 2025 to become a $36 billion market according to Grand
View Research.”
Key partnerships
Blockchain technology enables the ‘Automation of Trust’. This may disrupt many
industries, as it has the potential for cost savings through greatly improved
efficiencies as well as reducing the fraud and friction native to legacy
systems. Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies are simply the FIRST successful and
widely adopted applications of blockchain technology.
Our goal as a company is
to use our blockchain expertise in partnership with our clients’ deep domain
knowledge to develop enterprise platforms tailored to their particular use
cases.
As announced on December 4,
2017, DMG and Element Fleet Management (TSX:EFN) are working towards the
development of a leading-edge Artificial Intelligence and blockchain solution
for fleet-management, that is expected to result in greater efficiencies and
cost-savings for Element’s fleet customers and business partners. This platform
will enable predictive analytics based on the extensive data that Element has
gathered on their vehicles and drivers.
In addition to having Element as a collaborative partner, Element also purchased
9.9% of DMG.
On January. 23, 2018 DMG
signed a new agreement with Mogo Finance Technology Inc. (TSX: MOGO) one of
Canada's leading financial technology companies through the formation of their
new subsidiary – Mogo Blockchain Technology Inc. Mogo Blockchain plans to begin
bitcoin mining, through an agreement with DMG bitcoin mining hosting (mining as
a service (MaaS)) and diversified blockchain platform development. The expansion
into bitcoin mining follows Mogo's announcement regarding the launch of
MogoCrypto – a new product that will allow Canadians to easily buy and sell
bitcoin through their MogoAccount and will bring a new level of convenience and
transparency to bitcoin ownership.
As announced on January 26,
2018, CannaChain, which is a partnership between DMG and Emerald
Therapeutics (TSX:EMH), one of Canada’s largest Licensed Producers for cannabis.
Blockchain technology is ideally suited for the cannabis industry, as ensuring
consumer safety, tracking provenance of product and regulatory/tax reporting are
all key requirements. The supply chain management platform will enable
irrefutable tracking of product from licensed producers to end patients and
consumers nationwide. This platform can be customized for other governments and
regions based on their requirements.

DMG Blockchain Solutions and
Primary Engineering Complete Phase 1 Crypto Power Study
Vancouver, British Columbia --March 15, 2018 -- DMG Blockchain
Solutions Inc. (OTC:
DMGGF) (TSXV: DMGI)
(“DMG” or the “Company”) a diversified blockchain and cryptocurrency company and
Primary Engineering and Construction (“Primary”), an Electrical Engineering and
Construction firm, today announced their joint initiative to study and improve
power quality for crypto mining.
The goal of this collaboration is to analyze electrical characteristics and
requirements for large scale crypto mining operations. Company COO Sheldon
Bennett commented, “Recently we announced a best-in-class partnership with
D-Link for switching and routing for our crypto mining operations and this week
we announce a best-in-class partnership with Primary for infrastructure and
power management. This Phase 1 report will translate into significant savings
for DMG in power infrastructure costs, as our power providers will have a better
understanding of our needs. Essentially, it will make it easier for the
utilities’ industry to work with us which is yet another market leading
initiative.”
Phase 1 of the study has been completed
The results of Phase 1 served as key inputs for the system impact study
conducted by the local grid operator. Anthony Bowers, Specialist Engineer –
Primary, commented, “As crypto mining facilities are new to utility companies,
using regular industrial load assumptions can have significant implications;
it’s great to see DMG has set out to ensure the right data
was made available to ensure a smooth interconnection process.” DMG has agreed
to allow Primary to use the results of the studies as the basis for Primary’s
upcoming submission to the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE) for consideration at an upcoming conference.
Phase 2 of the study is underway
Phase 2 of the study will expand the sample size from the original test system
to a larger production system. This allows greater focus on optimizing the
actual power system design for crypto mining, including measuring the larger
scale system (multi-megawatt) energy consumption, peak kilowatt demand, power
factor and system harmonics. The effect of harmonics is relatively unknown in
the crypto mining community. As such harmonics are of particular interest to DMG
as they can interfere with the continuous operation of the crypto mining units.
Sheldon Bennett, COO of DMG, commented, “This partnership with Primary and their
ability to quickly understand our power needs would have been advantageous when
I was building my first 58 megawatts in Alberta; however with Primary’s insight
DMG’s current facility (designed for up to 85 megawatts) will benefit from this
information as well as the upcoming plans for DMG’s next build-outs, which are
in the 100s of megawatts.”
About Primary
Primary Engineering and Construction Corporation (Primary) was founded in 2002
as a specialist electrical engineering design and design-build firm in Calgary,
Alberta. Since then, Primary has rapidly expanded across Western Canada with
office locations in Kelowna, Victoria, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon,
and Regina. With a focus in electrical and telecom. utility infrastructure,
Primary is actively involved in renewable energy, grid modernization, power
quality, system renewal and expansion projects across the country.

blockchain development engine for multiple applications with well-known global
customers. We believe that the Blockseer team is amongst the most talented in
the industry today, and we welcome Dr. Danny Yang and the Silicon Valley team to
DMG,” said Daniel Reitzik, CEO and Director of DMG.
Chris Filiatrault, DMG’s Chairman and Founder added, “Japan remains the largest
crypto market in the world, and very few non-Japanese companies have been
successful. With the Blockseer product line, and the DMG presence in the market
today, Japan represents a massive opportunity for our stakeholders. We have
already planned a visit for Dr. Danny Yang to visit Japan and look forward to
sharing our progress in short order.”
Terms of the Transaction
Under the terms of the Transaction, DMG, through its U.S. subsidiary (“DMG-US”),
acquired Blockseer for a purchase price comprising C$2,630,769 in cash and
7,673,076 common shares of DMG (the “Transaction Shares”).
The Transaction Shares issued to the former Blockseer securities holders will be
subject to vesting with such shares vesting ratably on a calendar quarterly
basis over a two-year period following the Closing (the “Trading Restrictions”).
Following the Transaction, DMG-US will own 100% of Blockseer, with DMG-US shares
being owned approximately 61% by DMG and approximately 39% by the selling
securityholders of Blockseer.
Upon completion of the Trading Restrictions, each individual holder of the DMG-US
shall have the option to exchange such shares at the election of the holder
1-for-1 for DMG common shares, which will be fully tradable subject to the
regulations of the TSX Venture Exchange. Additionally, in the event that upon
completion of the Trading Restrictions, the per share price of DMG’s common
shares is greater than C$0.40 (as adjusted for stock splits and consolidations),
then DMG, at its sole election, shall have the option to exchange all of the
shares of DMG-US held by the former security holders of Blockseer 1-for-1 for
common shares of DMG, which will be fully tradable shares in accordance with the
policies of the TSX Venture Exchange.
