DMG’s Core[edit]
Christina Lake Data Centre[edit]
DMG operates a fully-owned data center in Christina Lake, which incorporates an independently constructed 85-megawatt substation on the company’s thirty-three-acre property and a building stretching approximately 27,000 square feet. The company is also investigating other long-term revenue-generating investments, including solar power generation and a significant investment in hydrogen production, as part of its renewables strategy. The company is currently shifting its air-cooling blueprint to an immersion cooling system, which has numerous advantages, including improved heat transfer, reduced electrical usage, increased hardware performance, improved software lifetime, and general capital cost reduction. Success in Christina Lake Data Centre has accelerated the firm’s interest in investing in additional low-cost sites.[3]
Core+ Operations[edit]
Blockseer’s Platforms[edit]
DMG acquired Datient Inc., a growing technology company based in Silicon Valley, in 2018. DMG acquired the company with its data Scientists, who developed an analytic tool that enabled bitcoin tracking and transactions on both Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains. Since the close of the acquisition, DMG has advanced the development of the technology, investing in Walletscore creation on the background of Blockseer’s data. The company continues the story of its Blockseer platform that focuses on crypto Safety and Security and Regulatory and Compliance. The Blockseer Platform is made up of Blockseer Explorer and Blockseer Breeze. Blockster Explorer is an analytic tool that facilitates cryptocurrency tracking on Bitcoin and Ethereum platforms. Blockseer Breeze equips wallet users with an enterprise-grade custody solution to manage their digital assets securely with the choice of executing transactions with either single or multiple signatures.[3]
Terra Pool, based in North America, is an audited mining pool that provides real-time AML and ensures new standard mining compliance and governance. Walletscore is a unique blockchain audit and analytic platform that detects a crypto wallet's probability of engaging in criminal activity by identifying unusual transactions anchored to crimes such as money laundering. DMG’s Mine Manager software propels the optimization of mining facilities and provides automated management of mining centers.[4]
Bitcoin Market Trends[edit]
Accompanied by several significant market drivers, the crypto market experienced a ridged year in 2022, which saw more than $1.3 trillion worth of crypto scrapped from the market: Bitcoin, the planet’s most significant digital coin, bundled more than a 60% reduction in price. Investors in the industry incurred massive losses catalyzed by the deteriorating macroeconomic environment, a collapse in terraUSD, a stablecoin project, and the crypto exchange FTX. Interest rates across the globe have, however, been on the rise in the wake of 2023, weighing on risk assets such as bitcoin and stocks. Some market players are jumping into the pulpit with price calls for what could turn out as another year full of uncertainty. Tim Draper forecasted bitcoin to be worth $250,000 by the end of 2022 and maintains that the token is set to realize the underlying value by mid-2023. A research note by Standard Chartered dated Dec 5, 2022, predicts a sink in bitcoin to as low as $5 000, representing a whooping 70% fall from the current valuation.[5]
Corporate News and updates[edit]
