Codebase Ventures Inc. said it has received confirmation of the completed delivery of all 115 Antminer S17+ 76Th bit mining units to their hosting facility in New York State.
The company said its bit mining infrastructure is currently online and are generating revenue on an ongoing basis. In addition to the previously announced terms of acquiring the bit mining infrastructure, Codebase has the first right of refusal on an additional 5MW capacity, should the company choose to expand its bit mining operations.
The company amended its previous supply agreement to expedite delivery of bit mining infrastructure in the face of global microchip shortages.

In a statement, Jake Chernoff, Codebase strategic advisor, said: "As previously announced, under mounting pressure resulting from microchip shortages across the industry, Codebase took steps to put new supply in place and online, avoiding extreme delays.
"Codebase remains confident in their long-term thesis surrounding BTC (bitcoin) and the continued disruption blockchain technology will have on our world in the coming years."
Bitcoin has seen a resurgence in price since hitting a low of $37,656 last month before rebounding to over $59,000 + CAD. This move came shortly after famed investor Elon Musk publicly disclosed that he held Bitcoin both in his personal investment portfolio as well as on SpaceX's balance sheet.
This positive sentiment was again echoed as the $45 billion asset manager, GoldenTree, announced that they have been adding Bitcoin to their balance sheet as a means of diversification. That comes only days after one of another top asset management groups, State Street Corp., announced that they would "start offering crypto reporting, reconciliation, and processing services to its private-fund clients".
Given the current macro events impacting the global hash rate on the BTC network, Codebase has positioned itself at the ideal time to benefit from this renewed attention. The company continues to be an avid investor and participant within the sector as it continues to gain widespread acceptance from high-profile investment firms and their investors.
Codebase Ventures seeks early-stage investments in emerging technology sectors, including the blockchain ecosystem and fintech.
The company identifies such opportunities and applies its relationships and capital to advance its interests.
