A crypto miner's hash rate is a crucial metric that affects how much Bitcoin (BTC) it can mine. A higher hash rate means more revenue and profits.
Hive Digital Technologies achieved an average mining capacity of 5.7 exahash per second (EH/s) in January. The company has built up its operations, reaching an average of 23.5 EH/s, with peaks like 25.4 EH/s in November.
This increase in EH/s allowed Hive Digital Technologies to nearly triple its Bitcoin production year-over-year, mining 290 Bitcoins in November. The company is producing significantly more Bitcoin and is well-positioned for a crypto rally, with plans to continue expanding its EH/s in 2026.
AI Compute Demand is Surging
Currently, Hive Digital Technologies is more of a crypto stock, with crypto making up over 90% of its revenue. This segment quadrupled year-over-year in Q3.
However, the pivot to AI is gaining momentum. Its high-performance computing segment, focused on AI, saw revenue jump by 175% year-over-year in Q3.
Hive Digital Technologies has Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) as an AI infrastructure client. The company's executives are prioritizing AI in 2026 and have a strong balance sheet to support further investments, with $136.7 million in total current assets and only $53.6 million in total current liabilities.
