MGT Capital Provides Update of Cryptocurrency Operations

Following shipment and setup, and in conjunction with the Company's current rigs in operation or in its possession, MGT's Bitcoin mining operations will be comprised of over 5,000 Bitmain S9's. These machines are expected to generate roughly 70 Ph/s of total hash power, and over $4.0 million in monthly revenue, assuming current Bitcoin pricing and Difficulty rates. Factoring in management fees, profit sharing, electricity, hosting and other direct operating costs, EBITDA from the Company's Bitcoin mining operations is projected at over $2.0 million per month.  The Company expects all rigs announced to date to be operating during the first quarter of 2018. 

"To meet the ongoing and projected ramp of our mining footprint, we are exploring cost-efficient locations for hosting and electricity on a global basis. In addition to the economics, we are focused on immediate availability of adequate power," stated Stephen Schaeffer, President of the Company's Crypto-Capital Strategies business unit.
