Cryptocurrency Mining Operations Drive Revenue Performance
HIVE Digital Technologies achieved fiscal 2026 revenue totaling $297.8 million, marking a 158% year-over-year increase. Digital asset mining operations contributed $278.3 million to this total, with high-performance computing services delivering an additional $19.5 million. Enhanced Bitcoin valuations combined with expanded infrastructure capacity fueled the growth.
Bitcoin extraction reached 2,885 BTC throughout the fiscal period, significantly outpacing the previous year’s output of 1,414 BTC. This production surge resulted from HIVE’s hashrate expansion from 6.5 EH/s to 25.1 EH/s. Nevertheless, escalating network difficulty levels continued to challenge mining profitability metrics.
Operating margin performance strengthened considerably, with gross margins reaching $107.9 million, representing 36% of total revenue. This marked substantial improvement from the prior year’s $25.1 million and 22% margin. Enhanced operational efficiency, Paraguay facility contributions, and improved HPC service margins drove these gains.
Profitability Pressures Persist Amid Expansion
HIVE disclosed a GAAP net loss totaling $148.4 million for the fiscal year. Management attributed approximately $221.3 million of this figure to non-cash accounting entries. These charges encompassed asset depreciation, equity-based employee compensation, portfolio valuation adjustments, and equipment write-downs.
Adjusted EBITDA measured $72.9 million, accounting for 24% of aggregate revenue. Operational cash flow surged 3.5-fold to $62.3 million. Despite this improvement, increased expenditures supported workforce expansion, Paraguay facility development, and BUZZ HPC platform investments.
Fourth-quarter results showed revenue of $71.8 million, including $67.2 million from mining activities. Bitcoin mining revenue contracted 23.9% quarter-over-quarter due to cryptocurrency price volatility. Adjusted EBITDA turned negative at $9 million as hashprice economics deteriorated.
Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Shapes Future Strategy
The BUZZ HPC division delivered record fiscal 2026 revenue of $19.5 million, representing 94% growth from the previous year’s $10 million. Strong demand for GPU computing services and NVIDIA H200 cluster deployments underpinned this performance.
Year-end contracted HPC annual recurring revenue reached $35 million. Management established ambitious targets of $660 million in ARR by fiscal 2028. The proposed 320 MW AI Gigafactory development in the Greater Toronto Area represents a cornerstone of this strategic vision.
HIVE bolstered its financial position post-fiscal year through its subsidiary. The entity secured $115 million via zero-coupon exchangeable senior notes maturing in 2031. According to leadership, this financing positions the organization to fund Paraguay expansion initiatives and pursue substantial AI infrastructure opportunities.
