Company Profile[edit]
BlockQuarry Corp. [OTC: BLQC] is a Nevada-based publicly listed company that advances mining and hosting services in the digital currency sector in America. The company offers energy, mining, hosting, know-how, and infrastructure to operate and manage turn-key cryptocurrency mining activities. It provides sustainable, renewable, and cost-effective energy solutions. It also employs blockchain infrastructure to transform unique identifiable assets (UIAs) into interchangeable digital assets like Bitcoin and other popular fungible assets. The firm was initially known as ISW Holdings Inc. before rebranding to BlockQuarry Corp. in August 2021. The company is headquartered in Reno, Nevada.[1] BlockQuary owns and operates mining sites in Gaffney, SC, Moorehead, NC, and Rutherford, NC. The firm trades on OTC under the BLQC symbol but plans to qualify and seek up-listing to the NASDAQ stock exchange.[2]
Business Operations[edit]
Via its blockchain infrastructure services, the company provides cryptocurrency investors with immediate liquidity through fast and confidential transactions and the issuance of digital assets in the capital markets. It also offers third-party crypto-mining operators quality, renewable, eco-friendly energy sourcing, secure, turn-key infrastructure, and hosting and maintenance services. The firm extends its energy cost savings and unique infrastructure to the masses by hosting and supporting third-party miners. BlockQuarry offers individuals, institutions, and investor groups scalable crypto-mining framework, equipment, and maintenance know-how on its secure NEXGEN POD5 mine sites.[3]
The company conducts mining operations from its 40-foot ISO modular containers known as NEXGEN POD5 data centers. These are highly-secured structures designed, customized, and fabricated to handle over 1MW of crypto-mining power. The NEXGEN POD5s are housed in PODPARKS, exclusively designed for the company by BIT5IVE, the firm's infrastructure partner. Each PODPARK can harbor up to 200 NEXGEN POD5s, allowing for 200MW capacity. BlockQuarry’s internal tech and development team and BIT5IVE sharpen the edge of the company’s American-made infrastructure technology. The PODPARKS’ scalability feature enables the company to accommodate internal and partner mining operations and MW capacity at minimal additional operational costs. The parks are each expandable to 200 MW, allowing for rapid mining activity up-leveling.[4]
In November, 2023, BlockQuarry's self-mining operations began with the operation of two pods at the Macon site in Missouri. These two pods are projecting annual revenue from roughly $1.4 million to $1.7 million. In addition, two more pods are expected to come online soon.[5]
Strategy[edit]
BlockQuarry Corp. is shifting from Bitcoin mining to AI-driven data storage and high-performance computing (HPC) to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and increase revenue. With the AI market projected to reach $190.61 billion by 2025 and the HPC market expected to hit $109.99 billion by 2032, BlockQuarry is positioning itself for long-term success. The company will integrate AI to optimize energy use, streamline operations, and expand into new industries, boosting profit margins and financial performance.[6]
