DMG Blockchain Solutions Announces Receipt of $1.5 Million Energy Efficiency Incentive, January Preliminary Operational Results

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Feb. 06, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB US: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX) (“DMG”), a leading vertically integrated blockchain and data center technology company, announces it has been awarded a $1.5 million energy efficiency incentive related to the deployment of hydro direct liquid cooled (DLC) server technology at its Christina Lake data center facility.

This incentive was based on an energy efficiency study performed by an independent third party, which calculated a target energy savings for a given computational capacity using air-cooled technology and the resulting energy savings by converting to DLC. From the estimated savings and the budget to deploy the new cooling technology, an energy efficiency incentive was offered to encourage DMG’s investment in this upgrade.

DMG’s CEO, Sheldon Bennett, commented, “We were pleased when the final results of the energy efficiency study exceeded our initial calculations for savings. This was a major project for our local Christina Lake operations team, and we are using this upgrade as the cornerstone for future hydro implementations as well as for other potential novel technology improvements. We are honored to have been recognized for our operational expertise in utilizing the latest chip cooling technology. In addition to announcing this incentive, DMG remains actively focused on activities to convert its Christina Lake facility into a world-class AI data center.”

• Hashrate: 1.69 EH/s (vs 1.77 EH/s in December 2025)

DMG’s hashrate averaged 1.69 EH/s in January, down from 1.77 EH/s in the prior month, as it adjusted its equipment operation to focus on profitability over hashrate generation. At the end of January, DMG held 414 bitcoin, as the Company liquidated a portion of its mined bitcoin to fund operations.

Update on Boardman, Oregon Data Center Site

During due diligence, DMG encountered issues that have delayed the closing of the transaction to purchase a building on an 18-acre property in Boardman, Oregon. As a result, the Company is no longer providing guidance regarding the timing of the transaction close and will issue updates as they become available. There is no guarantee that the Company will complete this acquisition.
