BitNile Becomes One of Only Five Bitcoin Miners Worldwide Honored by Bitmain to Acquire the New Environmentally Friendly S19XP Antminers Featuring 140 TH/s Processing Power

LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Ault Global Holdings, Inc. (NYSE American: DPW), a diversified holding company (the “Company”), announced today that its subsidiary, BitNile, Inc. (“BitNile”), has entered into a partnership with Bitmain, Inc. (“Bitmain”), with the acquisition of Bitmain’s first environmentally friendly S19XP Antminers that feature a processing power of 140 terahashes per second (TH/s) with an energy consumption of 3.1 kilowatt-hours (kWh). The S19XP Antminer is faster and requires less energy than do BitNile’s current miners, providing approximately 40% more processing power while using approximately the same amount of power. The agreement was finalized today at the World Digital Mining Summit 2021, which is hosted by Bitmain and held in Dubai. BitNile is one of only five companies worldwide authorized to acquire and deploy this disruptive technology from Bitmain, the world’s leading manufacturer and producer in the digital mining sector. The installation of these environmentally friendly Antminers at BitNile’s state-of-the-art Michigan Data Center will result in a significant increase in BitNile’s Bitcoin mining capabilities and future revenues. The Company intends to provide the expected delivery schedule of the new S19XP Antminers and an update on its revenue forecast for 2022 and 2023 on or about December 20, 2021. This partnership, including the acquisition of the S19XP Antminers, brings BitNile substantially closer to its previously stated goal of possessing 20,000 miners and becoming one of the top 10 publicly traded Bitcoin miners in the United States. BitNile is striving to be environmentally conscious as it expands its mining operations and today’s announcement is a significant milestone towards BitNile’s long-term goal of achieving a carbon-neutral operational footprint in its mining operations.

Milton “Todd” Ault, III, the Company’s Executive Chairman, stated, “Ault Global is undergoing a sea change in its capital allocation strategy to recognize the present generational opportunity in cryptocurrency. We believe Bitcoin mining to be a fundamental pillar of the digital currency ecosystem and we intend to be a key contributor to help build a borderless, decentralized and environmentally conscious economic future.”

William B. Horne, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, added, “Shifting a substantial amount of our capital to focus on cryptocurrencies is consistent with the Company’s mission of investing in undervalued assets and disruptive technologies.
