VINANZ LIMITED
("Vinanz" or the Company")
First Interim Results for the Six Months to 28 February 2023
(Unaudited)
Vinanz Ltd announces its first interim results for the six months period ended
28 February 2023 (the "Period"). Shareholders are reminded that these results
are unaudited and based on the Company's management accounts.
This has been an exciting Period for the Company as we prepared to transition
from a concept to reality, so much so that Vinanz's business as a funded
Bitcoin mining company really only begun post the end of this reporting
Period.
Subsequent to the end of the Period, Vinanz commenced trading of the Company's
Ordinary Shares on the Access segment of the Aquis Stock Exchange ("AQSE") in
England on 21 April 2023 under the ticker "BTC", following a successful
subscription and placing of £755,000 (before expenses) by issuing 25,166,667
shares at 3 pence per share. The Company now has 116,491,839 Ordinary Shares
in issue and the market capitalisation of the Company on Admission to trading
on AQSE.
In addition to the funds raised through the AQSE listing, Vinanz had 20
Bitcoin miners spinning in Nebraska and 5.01153011 Bitcoins in its ownership.
Vinanz aims to eventually build out a fully-fledged Bitcoin mining company
initially focusing on installing clusters of Bitcoin miners within multiple
facilities throughout the US and Canada through third-party cryptocurrency
mining providers.
Within its first week of being listed, the Company announced its first
expansion of Bitcoin mining machines by placing an order for the purchase and
installation of 100 new Bitmain Antminer S19J Pro (104 TH/s) ASIC miners.
These miners were ordered from a USA company, Luxor Technology Corporation.
This expansion increases the number of Bitcoin ASIC miners from 20 to 120 and
increases Vinanz's combined Terrahash processing power in North America by
650% to 12,000 TH/s.
The contracted cost to acquire the 100 new ASIC miners is USD $13.50 per TH
with a total purchase price shipped of USD $159,000. The hardware will be
installed and operated under a Hosting Services Agreement in Labrador, in
northeast Canada. Labrador was an ideal choice of location for the Company's
first expansion of its ASIC miners as the energy in Labrador is primarily
generated from GREEN HYDRO. As Vinanz's fleet scales, electricity rates will
decrease on a sliding scale from USD 6.6 cents per kWh to USD 5.7 cents or
less.
Whilst the Company will focus initially on BTC mining, it will also consider
the mining of other cryptocurrencies, and operations in the DeFi and Big Data
space in the future. The Company intends to be able to provide a listed UK
platform to offer entry to the technology and cryptocurrency business.
Commenting on the results, David Lenigas, Chairman of Vinanz, said:
"It's fabulous to have finally navigated the listing process of Vinanz onto
the Aquis Stock Exchange and start trading. Our goal is to ultimately build
out a profitable business by deploying decentralised clusters of Bitcoin
miners in the USA and Canada. Our first BTC miners are already spinning in
Nebraska and our next 100 Bitcoin machine cluster of miners into Canada
shortly. Our technical team are already assessing preferred locations for the
next batches of miners. Vinanz is focused on maximising its BTC mining
operations as the next Bitcoin halving, expected to take place in April 2024,
approaches. To date, over 19 million BTC (or over 92% of all BTC possible) has
already been created. The rate at which new Bitcoin is created decreases by
half every 210,000 blocks mined, or roughly every four years until all 21
million Bitcoin have been mined. Historically, data suggests that BTC has hit
new highs post the last three halvings and Vinanz aims to be strategically
positioned as the number of Bitcoins mined increases towards that magic 21
million."
"And of course, I must finish by thanking all the advisers, consultants and
shareholders who have made the listing on Vinanz possible."
The Directors of the Company accept responsibility for the contents of this
announcement.
