Bitcoin mining has become a relatively efficient and intensely competitive industry…

For several reasons, the cost to mine bitcoin — the world’s foremost cryptocurrency — is increasing. In some instances, bitcoin miners looking for a competitive edge have moved to faraway countries where energy is cheap.

Also, as the line between profit and loss narrows, bitcoin miners are turning to power providers as they look to save money.

Bitcoin Mining is Big Business

Bitcoin mining is no longer an arena for mom-and-pop operators. It hasn’t been for quite some time. With monthly revenue from mining ranging from roughly $200 to $600 million worldwide, according to Coindesk, bitcoin mining has become a multi-billion-dollar industry.

The market cap of all bitcoins in circulation in early July 2020 with the BTC price trading at US$9,120.12 was about US$170 billion.

For bitcoin miners hoping to compete in this large and increasingly competitive marketplace, success and profitability will rely mainly on three metrics: cheap energy, low transaction fees, and of course, a rising bitcoin price.

While transaction fees and the price of bitcoin are out of miners’ control, how and where they source their energy/electricity is not.

Cheap Electricity | A Key to Bitcoin Mining Profitability

In mid-2019, a new estimate from researchers at the University of Cambridge showed that the bitcoin network consumed more energy than many countries, on an annual basis.

According to the Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI), the global bitcoin network is consuming approximately 60 TWh or terawatt-hours of energy consumption per year. For some context, the entire country of Switzerland uses 58 TWh, according to estimates from the CBECI.

The CBECI “…estimates how much energy is needed to maintain the Bitcoin network in real time, before using this to calculate its annual energy usage,” according to The Verge.

Bitcoin Electricity Consumption, in terawatt hours

The above chart highlights the upper and lower bound estimates of electricity consumption, with the dark yellow line in the middle representing the consensus estimate.

Apparently, one of the cheapest places to mine for Bitcoin is in China. Forbes contributor, Joseph Young, wrote in June of 2020 that,

“According to several Chinese miners based in Sichuan, China, electricity in the region costs around $0.04 per kilowatt-hour.”

And that,

“With $0.04/kwh, miners based in China said that the breakeven cost to mine Bitcoin hovers in the $5,000 to $6,000 range.”

 

With the price of bitcoin above US$9,000, this tells us two things: first, that some miners (particularly those in China) can still be very profitable at current BTC prices; and secondly, a correction in price would not surprise us given the cost to produce Bitcoins is dropping for some miners.

Now, here is the catch: the cheap electricity in Sichuan, China may not last. Located in China’s southwest, the region experiences incredible precipitation at certain times of the year, which affects its power costs.

Home of the giant pandas and a stretch of Asia’s longest river, the Yangtze, the Sichuan region has hydropower plants scattered throughout which benefit from heavy rains. June to September is the rainy season, as can be seen by the below chart.

record rain falls in the July/August season

The Sichuan region receives about half of its annual rainfall in just two months: July and August. Given we are currently in July, it is no surprise the cost to mine bitcoin in this region is low. With the bitcoin price holding above US$9,000, one has to wonder what will happen in September and October when the rainy season concludes?

Link Global Technologies & Low-Cost Power

Link Global Technologies (LNK:CSE) is engaged in the business of providing infrastructure and operating expertise for digital mining operations. For a small and relatively unknown company, it has a lofty set of goals…

Link Global Technologies’ (“Link” or the “Company”) objectives include locating and securing, for lease and option to purchase, properties with access to low-cost reliable power and deploying this low-cost power to conduct digital mining, among other activities.

In mid-June, Link announced it had received a security deposit of US$1 million on the signing of a Power Supply Agreement for its Smart Mining Program with an arm’s length third party private investment fund.

Under the terms of the Agreement, Link “…has agreed to supply the Client with SmartMiner computing power generated by Asics processors, configured for the purpose of supplying process computing power that meets the needs of digital currency software, in exchange for cash consideration at an agreed upon rate of kilowatts per hour…”

While not disclosing the agreed upon rate of kilowatts per hour, Stephen Jenkins, Link President & CEO, stated,

“Link is extremely pleased with the signing of the Power Supply Agreement and securing the US$1 million required to execute the plan. This is the first commercial power supply agreement for our Alberta assets, and a key milestone that puts the Company on track to achieve profitability.”

And that,

“Our team continues to execute on our core strategy of securing low cost, reliable power and supplying our partners with smart infrastructure and cost-efficient power solutions for their data hosting and digital mining operations.”

Not to take anything away from the Power Supply Agreement, but it only accounts for 3 megawatts, according to the press release. Link highlighted this fact, stating,

“As previously announced on March 24, 2020, Link has secured up to 50 megawatts (M.W.) of electricity for its cryptocurrency mining community under a letter of intent with its partners in Alberta, allowing for 15,000 new generation machines. This program plans on using approximately 3 M.W. of electricity.”

And here to read Link’s March 24, 2020 release.

 

In respect to power capacity, Link provided projections of what will be available, and when…

The Company stated in its March 31, 2020 press release:

“By end of April 2020
– Three MW of power to be made operational
– Planned generation of 54,000 terahash of computing power, or approximately 1 Bitcoin per day equivalent **

· By end of May 2020:
– 6 MW of power to be made operational
– Planned generation of 108,000 terahash of computing power, or approximately 2 Bitcoin per day equivalent **

· By end of July 2020:
– An additional 15 MW of power to be made operational, for a total combined effort of 21 MW
– Planned generation of 378,000 terahash of computing power, or approximately 7 Bitcoin per day equivalent **
** calculated using today’s earning potential”

Another Agreement Signed

Link didn’t have to wait long to ink another agreement. Six days following the aforementioned deal with the third-party private investment fund, the Company announced a new deal with Block One Technologies…

Link Global Technologies Signs 6 MW Power Purchase Agreements With Block One Technologies For Their Digital Currency Mining Operations

Based in Calgary, Alberta, Block One describes itself as “North America’s Leading Crypto Mining Company.”

According to the terms of these Agreements with Block One, Link will provide Block One with 6 megawatts (M.W.) of electrical power for an initial term of one year, at an agreed-upon rate calculated in Canadian dollars per kilowatt hour.

Stephen Jenkins, President & CEO of Link commented that,

“While this is the first formal agreement between Block One and Link, the companies intend to pursue future agreements that will play an important role in Link’s growth strategy.”

Bijan Alizadeh, Founder & Chairman of Block One, noted,

“By working with Link, Block One can take advantage of the competitive energy prices Link offers…”

And that,

“We have deep expertise in the digital mining space and partnering with Link on power supply makes a lot of sense for us and our clients.”

For companies like Block One, access to competitively-priced, reliable power is critical. While Link aims to deliver precisely that, its margins remain unknowns…

Link’s upside potential may begin to crystallize once new financials are released. They may also shed light on if/when Link could reach profitability.

Link Global Technologies — More to the Story

To further understand Link, it is worth learning about its President and CEO, Mr. Stephen Jenkins…

Mr. Jenkins holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental Management from the Royal Roads University and served as a partner at Energies du Futur S.A. (2014-2017).

Furthermore, Mr. Jenkins has twice been recognized at the United Nations in New York for innovation in the environmental field.

Towards the end of 2014, Mr. Jenkins went to Senegal to look at biomass opportunities. According to a bctechnology.com article,

“He returned home and discussed his ideas with close friend and Chairman of Goldcorp Inc., Ian Telfer. Stephen pitched his plan for a clean energy facility and both men contributed funding to launch the project.”

* Goldcorp merged with Newmont in 2019 to become the largest gold producer in the world.

Moreover,

“Energies Du Futur was formed in January 2016, with Stephen, Balanced Power, Ian Telfer, and the Town of Nguekokh holding equity shares.”

As a founding partner, Mr. Jenkins and his team at Energies du Futur brought private companies together to partner on projects that create economic activity around renewable energy in West Africa.

Mr. Jenkins is a big picture thinker who looks for solutions to difficult problems — the quintessential entrepreneur you might say.

There can be no assurance that an active trading market for Link’s common shares will be established and sustained.

Unless otherwise indicated, the market and industry data contained in this report is based upon information from industry and other publications and the knowledge of Pinnacle Digest and Link.

The author of this report and its publishers bear no liability for losses and/or damages arising from the use of this report.

Never, ever, make an investment based solely on what you read in an online newsletter, including Pinnacle Digest’s online newsletter, or Internet bulletin board, especially if the investment involves a small, thinly-traded company that isn’t well known.

We Are Biased: Link is a client of ours (details in this disclaimer on our compensation). We also own shares of the Company. For those reasons, we want to remind you that we are biased when it comes to Link.

Because Link has paid us CAD$45,000 plus GST for our online advertising and marketing services, and Maximus and Alexander Smith (Head of Market Research for PinnacleDigest.com) own shares of the Company, you must recognize the inherent conflict of interest involved that may influence our perspective on Link; this is one reason why we stress that you conduct extensive due diligence as well as seek the advice of your financial advisor and a registered broker-dealer before considering investing in the Company. Investigate and fully understand all risks before investing.

PinnacleDigest.com is often paid editorial fees for its writing and the dissemination of material. The clients (including Link) represented by PinnacleDigest.com are typically early-stage companies that pose a much higher risk to investors than established companies. When investing in speculative stocks such as Link it is possible to lose your entire investment over time or even quickly. Link is not an appropriate investment for most investors.

Important: Set forth below is our disclosure of compensation received from Link and details of our stock ownership in the Company as of July 24, 2020:

Maximus Strategic Consulting Inc., owner of PinnacleDigest.com, has been paid CAD$45,000 plus GST to provide online advertisement coverage for Link for a six-month online marketing agreement. Link paid for this coverage. The coverage includes, but is not limited to, the creation and distribution of this report authored by PinnacleDigest.com about Link, as well as display advertisements and news distribution about the Company on our website and in our newsletter. We (Maximus Strategic Consulting Inc.) own shares of Link. Alexander Smith, Head of Market Research for PinnacleDigest.com, also owns shares of Link. Maximus Strategic Consulting Inc. and Alexander Smith intend to sell every share they own of Link for their own profit. All shares Maximus Strategic Consulting Inc. and Alexander Smith currently own or may purchase in the future of Link will be sold without notice to PinnacleDigest.com’s subscribers or the general public. Maximus Strategic Consulting Inc. and Alexander Smith benefit from price and trading volume increases in Link, and are therefore extremely biased when it comes to the Company.

Link is a Very Risky Investment: Link is an early stage company that poses a much higher risk to investors than established companies. Risks and uncertainties for early-stage companies such as Link are generally disclosed in the annual financial or other filing documents of those and similar companies as filed with the relevant securities commissions, and should be reviewed by any reader of this report. Visit www.sedar.com to review important disclosure documents for Link.

Link will need to raise additional capital in the future to fund its operations and objectives, likely resulting in dilution to its shareholders.

History of Operating Losses: Link has a relatively limited operating history from which an investor can evaluate its business and prospects. Link has generated net losses from operations since the commencement of operations and the Company will likely incur net losses from operations for a significant period of time. There is no assurance that the Company will achieve or maintain profitability and it may continue to incur significant losses in the future. Furthermore, the Company’s revenues may fluctuate substantially from quarter to quarter.
