DMG Blockchain Bolsters Operations with $1.5 Million Incentive
DMG Blockchain Solutions Inc. (TSX-V: DMGI) (OTCQB: DMGGF) (FRANKFURT: 6AX), a vertically integrated blockchain and data center technology firm, has received a $1.5 million energy efficiency incentive. This funding supports optimizations at its 65-megawatt Christina Lake data center in British Columbia, which powers Bitcoin mining, AI compute, and colocation services.
The incentive arrives amid preliminary January 2026 operational results, showcasing DMG's resilience in Bitcoin mining despite market volatility. The company operates its own substation, enabling efficient power management critical for high-density computing.
January Preliminary Operational Metrics
- Bitcoin Mined: Specific figures align with recent trends, building on December 2025's 23 BTC mined at 1.77 EH/s hashrate.
- Hashrate: Achieved approximately 1.7 EH/s with 22.5 J/TH efficiency, reflecting upgrades like the deployment of Bitmain T21 miners.
- Bitcoin Holdings: Ended January with 414 BTC after partial liquidations to fund operations.
These metrics follow patterns from prior months, such as July 2024's 22 BTC mined at 0.9 EH/s amid heatwave challenges, and December 2025's holdings growth to 403 BTC. DMG limits liquidations strategically to rebuild reserves, prioritizing long-term holdings in a fluctuating crypto market.
Core Business: Bitcoin Mining and Beyond
DMG's Christina Lake facility anchors its operations, driving revenue from Bitcoin mining alongside emerging AI compute and colocation. Efficiency stands at 22.5 J/TH, competitive in an industry where power costs dominate. The company develops proprietary software like Blockseer, which includes Core+ for carbon-neutral Bitcoin mining, demand response optimization, and secure transactions via Petra custody.
Key Blockseer features:
- Enables carbon-neutral transactions, supporting Bitcoin blockchain decarbonization.
- Provides Terra Pool, the first carbon-neutral mining pool for clean block production.
- Offers tools like WalletScore for blockchain analytics, Mine Manager for facility optimization, and Blockseer Intelligence for transaction tracking.
These platforms reduce counterparty risk, ensure hashrate contracts, and facilitate digital asset trading, positioning DMG as a compliance-focused leader in crypto infrastructure.
Strategic Pivot to AI and Sustainability
CEO Sheldon Bennett, with over 20 years in management from firms like PwC and Cisco, guides DMG's dual focus on crypto and AI. Discussions underway to transform Christina Lake into a world-class AI data center could unlock new revenue streams. Partnerships with Canadian government, enterprises, and Indigenous communities aim to build AI colocation capacity.
The energy incentive underscores DMG's ESG commitments, aligning with Blockseer's carbon-neutral ethos. In a sector facing scrutiny over energy use, such incentives validate sustainable practices.

Industry Context and Forward Outlook
Bitcoin mining profitability hinges on hashrate, efficiency, and BTC price amid rising network difficulty. DMG's 1.7 EH/s positions it solidly, with recent T21 fleet energization boosting output. Holdings of 414 BTC provide a buffer, as the firm eyes growth in custody, trading, and AI services.
Challenges like heatwaves and power infrastructure delays highlight operational risks, yet DMG's vertical integrationfrom mining to softwaremitigates them. As crypto adoption grows, DMG's compliant, green infrastructure appeals to institutions seeking low-risk exposure.
This update signals steady progress, with the $1.5 million boost funding further expansions in a competitive landscape blending blockchain and high-performance computing.
