HIVE Digital Technologies Acquires Paraguay Bitcoin Mining Site, Targets 317% Hashrate Growth By September 2025

Benzinga

By Gerelyn Terzo, Benzinga HIVE Digital Technologies (NASDAQ: HIVE) is setting a tone of robust expansion for this year. The company, which is in the midst of relocating its headquarters from Vancouver, Canada to San Antonio, Texas, focuses on two white-hot market segments; high-performance computing (HPC) and Bitcoin mining. Now, HIVE reports it has significantly bolstered its global footprint by scooping up a 200 MW facility located in Yguazú, Paraguay from Bitfarms. Last year, HIVE mined 1,772 Bitcoin in a bullish environment in which the BTC price went well past the $100,000 threshold for the first time in history. HIVE’s Bitcoin holdings grew to 2,805 as of the end of 2024, reflecting 65% year-over-year growth. With their latest Paraguay expansion, HIVE Digital Technologies says it is positioning itself for explosive growth, targeting 25 EH/s by September 2025. The United States, where HIVE Digital Technologies is now based, has been leading the way in BTC mining, comprising more than 40% of the global Bitcoin mining hashrate amid regulatory tailwinds in states such as Texas. Bitcoin mining has become increasingly competitive as the global hashrate continues to soar. In response, HIVE plans to quadruple its hash rate capacity in 2025, a strategic move which positions the company to mine more Bitcoin while strengthening the network, just in time for what appears to be a bullish cycle in the crypto industry. Investors don’t have to mine their own Bitcoin to gain exposure to this rapidly expanding sector. They can explore HIVE Digital Technology’s stock to decide whether it has a place in their portfolio. HIVE Digital’s Expanding Hashrate Paraguay has become an increasingly attractive destination for Bitcoin miners, and its abundant renewable energy aligns perfectly with HIVE Digital Technology’s focus on sustainability. The nation boasts plentiful and inexpensive hydroelectric power, marked by the Itaipu Dam, one of the largest hydroelectric power plants on the planet. Additionally, Paraguay has implemented a Bitcoin-friendly regulatory framework in which companies like HIVE Digital Technologies can operate more freely. While temperatures can become scorching, there are cooling mechanisms in place as the country builds up its infrastructure to meet rising data center demand. HIVE Digital Technologies is no stranger to Paraguay, having recently broken ground on a 100 MW facility there. With the addition of Bitfarms’ 200 MW site, HIVE says it is now targeting 317% global hashrate growth by September of this year, from 6 EH/s to 25 EH/S, thereby hoping to capture 3% of the global Bitcoin network pie. With all of this control comes responsibility. Fortunately, HIVE says it has built a lean and efficient team that it believes will deliver $20 million in revenue per employee to the company each year. HIVE believes its revenue per employee (RPE) could surpass that of big tech companies like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), whose RPE hovers at $2.4 million, and even Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), with an RPE last year of over $3 million. Not only is HIVE Digital Technologies increasing its own Bitcoin mining capabilities, but it says it is also creating a model for the industry to emulate for unparalleled efficiency. HIVE says it is targeting 16.5 joules per terahash (J/TH), reflecting BTC miner fleet efficiency relative to the hashrate. HIVE Digital’s Revenue Outlook HIVE has achieved a strong global presence since first going public in 2017, operating across nine different time zones and five languages. The company’s target of 430 MW capacity by Q3 2025 underpins its reputation in the eyes of many as a global technology leader. With the addition of the Yguazú facility, HIVE Digital Technologies believes its annual top-line revenue target of $500 million is now within grasp. Investors can learn more about HIVE Digital Technology’s stock here, ahead of the company’s expected earnings report on February 11. Featured photo by MidJourney on Pixabay.

BTCS Offers Investors Ethereum Exposure And Triple-Digit Revenue Growth

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin, Benzinga Bitcoin is by far the largest cryptocurrency, with Ethereum following as a strong competitor. While Ethereum may not be surpassing $100,000 like Bitcoin did in late January, it is experiencing its own growth moment as big-name investors like BlackRock, Fidelity, and President Donald Trump’s DeFi project, World Liberty Financial, acquire coins. It doesn’t hurt that Ethereum, unlike Bitcoin, is more than just a digital token, it’s a decentralized network that is the backbone of DeFi and non-fungible tokens (NFTs). With improvements to the Ethereum blockchain underway, the network is expected by many analysts to attract more users, potentially driving the price of Ethereum even higher. All of that is good news for BTCS Inc. (NASDAQ: BTCS), a blockchain infrastructure company that pioneered Bitcoin mining as the first U.S. public company in the space in 2014. Over the past few years, BTCS has shifted its focus to Ethereum to leverage its expertise to drive growth in validator node operations and block building. Ethereum Shift Is Paying Off All of these strategies are delivering strong results, the company says. In 2024, BTCS posted more than $3.7 million in unaudited revenue, marking 177% year-over-year growth, driven by its Ethereum infrastructure operations. The growth, says BTCS, underscores how it is able to scale its core business. Since shifting to Ethereum, BTCS has become a key participant in Ethereum’s proof-of-stake ecosystem, operating 522 validator nodes. In a proof-of-stake blockchain network, a validator node is a computer that verifies and confirms the legitimacy of transactions before they can be added to the blockchain. Validator nodes are responsible for ensuring the security and integrity of the network by making sure the transaction adheres to the protocol rules. BTCS’s operations aim to enhance network security and decentralization while also generating staking rewards and revenue from block-building activities. “I firmly believe that Ethereum infrastructure—focused on block-building and validation— presents the most compelling growth opportunity I’ve ever witnessed in the crypto space, surpassing even the early days of Bitcoin mining in 2017,” wrote Charles Allen, CEO of BTCS in a recent letter to shareholders. “Ethereum block-building and validation offers exceptional revenue growth potential without high capital constraints. Going forward we aim to be the leading Ethereum blockchain infrastructure company and are currently the only pure-play, publicly traded company focused on this strategy.” Publicly Traded, Ethereum Pure-Play BTCS says it gives investors cryptocurrency exposure similar to MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR), which is the largest publicly traded holder of bitcoin. MicroStrategy’s stock price tends to move in lockstep with Bitcoin, while BTCS’s performance is driven by the broader sentiment of the crypto market. In addition, by staking Ethereum and running validator nodes, BTCS unlocks revenue potential similar to Bitcoin mining – without the need to invest in rapidly depreciating hardware. BTCS is currently the only publicly traded pure-play Ethereum infrastructure company and says it’s aligning its business with sustainability through energy-efficient proof-of-stake protocols. Proof-of-stake protocols are substantially more energy efficient than proof-of-work protocols, which Bitcoin is based on, because it eliminates the need for energy-hogging computers in the mining process. With proof-of-stake, validators are chosen based on their stake, not by solving complex mathematical puzzles that require a lot of energy. Bitcoin may get a lot of attention, but Ethereum is also growing. BTCS says it is focusing its attention on innovation, scalability and regulatory compliance, and that that direction will position it well, it hopes, to capitalize on the expanding blockchain ecosystem.

Infrastructure Capital Advisors Gives Investors Access To Corporate Bonds With New ETF

Benzinga

By Meg Flippin Benzinga The economy seems to be humming along, and corporate profits seem to be proving resilient. At the same time, cash balances among publicly traded companies are increasing and the spread between corporate bonds and comparable Treasuries remains low. So much so that in October the gap narrowed to a nearly twenty-year low. That’s good news. When spreads are tight it means risk is down and corporations don’t have to pay a bigger yield to entice investors. Then there is the prospect of deregulation under a Trump Administration, which could help companies make more money and hoard extra cash. And let’s not forget what may come from the Federal Reserve. While more hawkish, it still expects to cut interest rates twice in 2025. Add low unemployment and rising wages to the mix and it all bodes well for the corporate bond market, which ended 2024 on a high note. While this year may not be an exact repeat, Wall Street watchers expect the good times to last throughout 2025. “Strong fundamentals, rich valuations,” is how Charles Schwab described the corporate bond market heading into 2025, pointing to investment-grade corporate bonds as an attractive area of the market for income seeking investors. After all, investment grade corporate bonds have average yields of 5.6%. “Like the resilient economy, corporations generally remain strong as profits grow and cash balances rise. That's been a key driver of the outperformance so far this year, as falling credit spreads have pulled up corporate bond prices relative to Treasuries. All credit-related sectors have outperformed Treasuries year to date, with riskier, low-rated investments performing the best,” wrote Charles Schwab in its corporate bond market outlook. Infrastructure Capital Advisors Launches New Bond ETF Investors who want to get exposure to the corporate bond market in the new year may want to give the Infrastructure Capital Bond Income ETF (ARCA: BNDS) a look. Launched last week by Infrastructure Capital Advisors, a provider of investment management solutions designed to meet the needs of income-focused investors, the ETF is actively managed by Infrastructure Capital Founder, CEO and Portfolio Manager Jay D. Hatfield and Portfolio Manager Andrew Meleney. Together they have over thirty years of experience in the securities and investment markets. In addition to the Infrastructure Capital Bond Income ETF, Hatfield runs the InfraCap Small Cap Income Fund (NYSE: SCAP), InfraCap Equity Income Fund ETF (NYSE: ICAP), InfraCap MLP ETF (NYSE: AMZA), InfraCap REIT Preferred ETF (NYSE: PFFR), Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF (NYSE: PFFA) and a series of hedge funds. Infrastructure Capital Advisors reports it manages more than $2 billion in total assets. Just like Charles Schwab, Infrastructure Capital Advisors is also bullish on the bond market this year, even if there was a recent selloff in 10-year Treasuries on the heels of the Fed’s more conservative approach to interest rate cuts, predicting the 10-year yield will move into the 3.5% to 4% range during the first quarter. Infrastructure Capital Advisors is also undeterred by talk of rising inflation due to tariffs or government policies, arguing inflation is caused by excessive monetary growth and energy shocks not government policies. Capital Appreciation Through Corporate Bonds The Infrastructure Capital Bond Income ETF seeks to maximize current income and pursue strategic opportunities for capital appreciation, investing at least 80% of its total assets in fixed-income securities, largely focusing on corporate bonds. The ETF will also include muni and government bonds in its portfolio. Meanwhile, up to 20% of the fund may also be invested in equities, although the fund is focused largely on corporate debt. The fund uses a mix of quantitative and qualitative analysis with an emphasis on fixed-income securities that managers believe are undervalued based on several factors including term premium, credit premium, liquidity premium, industry, sector and market capitalization, reports Infrastructure Capital Advisors. “There continue to be opportunities to find both alpha and compelling income in the fixed income markets. The key however is in knowing where to look,” said Hatfield. “We believe active management is essential for successful income investing. Through vigilant risk management, and by focusing on interest rate, credit, and call risks, BNDS is poised to benefit from our active management process. I am very excited for us to be introducing BNDS and look forward to all of the conversations we will have with investors and advisors about the role BNDS can play in their portfolios.” So far, the markets are starting the year in a position of strength, with yields above 5%. That’s good news for investors seeking income, but it may not last. With high inflation, historic low yields on traditional stock market benchmarks and projected interest rate cuts, it’s getting tougher for today’s income investor to find better payouts. Infrastructure Capital Advisors is aiming to take advantage of these market issues with the launch of the Infrastructure Capital Bond Income ETF. To learn more about BNDS, click here.
