HashChain Technology Enters Binding Agreement Increasing Mining Operations to estimated 15 Megawatts

VANCOUVER, April 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ - HashChain Technology Inc. ("HashChain" or the "Company") (TSXV: KASH; OTCQB: HSSHF) announced today that the Company has entered into a binding letter agreement (the "Binding Agreement") to acquire 100% of the outstanding shares of a company ("Target") in consideration for the issuance of 55 million HashChain shares at a deemed price of $0.35 per share (the "HashChain Shares") equivalent to $19.25 million.  

The Purchase Price will be allocated as follows:

• 5,000 new S9 Antminer Rigs ("Rigs") at $1,500 CDN per Rig equals $7,500,000;
• 7.5 Megawatts ("MW") installed for $700,000 per MW equals $5,250,000;
• 5 year commitment from existing Target management at $300,000 per year equals $1,500,000;
• 15 MW facility commitment for 4 years equals $2,000,000; and
• Goodwill equals $3,000,000

The HashChain Shares will be subject to escrow and will be released as follows:

• 22,000,000 on the closing date of the acquisition (the "Closing Date");
• 11,250,000 on installation of the 5,000 Rigs in the facility the Target currently has an agreement with;
• 5,250,000 in 90 days from the Closing Date; and
• 16,500,000 in 120 days from the Closing Date

The acquisition is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange and due diligence by HashChain.

The Company expects the additional 5,000 rigs will be fully operational by the end of June 2018. This will be added to the 4,870 rigs that HashChain has already purchased and committed pending its recent announcement of the acquisition of a company with 1,000 Rigs, bringing total rigs to 9,870, which is the equivalent of approximately 15 megawatts.

Based on 770 Rigs currently operating, the Company mined 27.92 Bitcoins in 38 days of operations, equivalent of .735 Bitcoin per day and has not exchanged any Bitcoin into Fiat to date. According to coinmarketcap.com on April 25, 2018, Bitcoin was valued at CAD $11,737. The mined value of Bitcoin at that price equates to CAD $327,697 over 38 days for the Company which is the equivalent of CDN $11.20 per day per Rig.

HashChain notes there are material costs associated with mining and it will need to complete its next quarterly financial statements to have complete details on such costs. The Company will report full details on its costs associated with mining in its financial statements. At this time the Company has not converted the Bitcoin and Dash into fiat currency.

"HashChain continues to fulfill our commitment to investors with fast-scaling cryptocurrency mining operations in ideal low-cost data centres, even as we continue to grow our business in other areas of the blockchain market," says Patrick Gray, CEO and founder of HashChain. "In under a month, the Company has increased our Rig count by 6,000 and we will continue to build on this momentum and increase the revenue stream from our core mining business."
