Digi Power X Maintains Strong Cash and Crypto Position With No Long-Term Debt and Reports May 2025 Production Results

This news release constitutes a 'designated news release' for the purposes of the Company's prospectus supplement dated May 30, 2025 to its short form base shelf prospectus dated May 15, 2025. MIAMI, June 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Digi Power X Inc. (' Digi Power X ' or the ' Company ') (Nasdaq: DGXX / TSXV: DGX), an innovative energy infrastructure company that develops cutting-edge data centers, is pleased to provide unaudited comparative Bitcoin (' BTC ') production results for the month ended May 31, 2025, combined with an operations update. All monetary references are expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. Monthly Production Highlights for May 2025 The value of coins produced at the Company's facilities between its self-mining and colocation agreements and energy sales was approximately $4.3 million in May 2025 (based on a BTC price of $105,000 as of May 31, 2025, per CoinMarketCap), representing an increase of 23% over the previous month. Miners running at the Company's facilities produced approximately 35 BTC during the month between self-mining and colocation agreements, representing an approximate value of $3.7 million (based on a BTC price of $105,000 as of May 31, 2025, per CoinMarketCap). The Company earned gross energy and power revenue of approximately $0.6 million in May 2025 through the provision of power capacity to market customers. The Company held cash, BTC and cash deposits of approximately $9.3 million as of May 31, 2025, as compared to $10.2 million on April 30, 2025 (based on a BTC price of $105,800 as of May 31, 2025, and $94,000 as of April 30, 2025, per CoinMarketCap). The decrease in position on a month over month basis was driven by investment in capital expenditures of approximately $0.6 million and the purchase of carbon emission credits of $0.2 million. The Company has invested approximately $2.5 million year-to-date in capital expenditures and mining infrastructure support equipment, including $0.6 million in May. This continued significant investment underscores the Company's commitment to long-term growth while maintaining a disciplined approach to capital allocation, prioritizing self-funding to minimize equity dilution for shareholders when possible, while still retaining a clean balance sheet with zero long-term debt to bolster the Company's flexible capital deployment strategies. Digi Power X continues to operate with zero long-term debt, supporting its capital flexibility and commitment to self-funding. The Company maintains a disciplined capital strategy, limiting dilution while retaining the ability to swiftly scale when the situation arises. Operations Update The Company currently operates with approximately 100MW of available power across its three sites and is working to expand its capacity to 200MW and beyond. The Company plans to fuel this growth using its existing asset portfolio, combined with strategic expansion through targeted acquisitions. Super Micro Collaboration The Company continues to develop its Tier 3 data center assets, invest in high density compute infrastructure, and pursue selective acquisitions to scale its power capacity and operating footprint. US Data Centers, Inc. (' US Data Centers ') is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company dedicated to the development of high-performance computing (' HPC ') and artificial intelligence (' AI ')-focused data centers. During the month of May, the Company announced that it had entered into a collaboration with Super Micro Computer, Inc. (NASDAQ: SMCI) to deploy customized B200 GPU rack solutions at the Company's newly developed data center in Alabama. The collaboration will begin with an initial deployment targeting operational readiness within 120 days, with full test operations expected during Q4 2025. This project lays the foundation for a broader expansion at the Alabama site, with plans to scale up to 22 megawatts (MW) in 2026 and 55 MW by 2027. Digi Power X's 5.5 MW Community Solar Project The Company is also pleased to provide an operational update on its 5.5 MW community solar array located in upstate New York and to share new developments regarding the integration of battery energy storage at its Buffalo facility. Since reaching commercial operation in September 2024, the 5.5 MW community solar project has generated nearly $100,000 in electricity bill credits for Digi Power X's East Delevan facility. Developed in partnership with a regional solar developer and energized pursuant to a long-term agreement announced in 2022, the project has significantly reduced operating costs and strengthened the Company's commitment to sustainability and long-term energy procurement stability. 'Our community solar initiative represents a core component of our ESG strategy,' said Michel Amar, Chief Executive Officer of Digi Power X. 'These energy savings not only drive economic value for our operations but also advance our broader vision of aligning blockchain computing with sustainable energy infrastructure.' In parallel with the success of the community solar array, Digi Power X is actively exploring the integration of a behind-the-meter battery energy storage system at its Buffalo site. This initiative would be pursued in conjunction with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority's (NYSERDA) Retail Energy Storage Incentive Program, which supports the deployment of up to 5 MW of distributed energy storage per commercial site. By participating in this program, Digi Power X aims to further optimize its energy usage and reinforce grid stability, while contributing to New York State's ambitious target of deploying 6 gigawatts (GW) of energy storage by 2030, as outlined in the state's updated Energy Storage Roadmap. The prospective battery system would enhance onsite energy resilience and provide increased flexibility in energy management during grid stress events or market volatility. 'Our investment in renewable energy and now battery storage positions Digi Power X at the intersection of digital infrastructure and clean technology,' said Luke Marchiori, Chief Sustainability Officer at Digi Power X. 'We are proud to be a proactive partner in New York's energy transition and look forward to continued innovation that enhances both our operational excellence and environmental impact.'

CAE names Northrop Grumman executive Matthew Bromberg as next CEO

Canadian pilot training company CAE Inc. CAE-T has named Northrop Grumman Corp. executive Matthew Bromberg as its next chief executive officer, capping a four-month search process ahead the coming retirement of current CEO Marc Parent. Mr. Bromberg, a military veteran who served as a submarine officer in the U.S. Navy, currently leads Northrop Grumman's global operations as vice-president. He'll take over Aug.13 after Mr. Parent's departure, Montreal-based CAE said in a statement Monday. Former Air Canada Chief Executive Calin Rovinescu, named CAE chairman in February, will become executive chairman and energy industry executive Sophie Brochu will serve as lead independent director, the company said. The announcement follows a mini board shakeup in February that saw four new directors added, including Peter Lee of U.S. investment firm Browning West. Browning West is best known in Canada as the firm that led a successful campaign to re-instate the ousted co-founder and CEO of Gildan Activewear Inc., Glenn Chamandy. Browning West disclosed in December that it had amassed a 4.3-per-cent economic interest in CAE and asked for a formal role in the succession planning. An agreement was subsequently struck giving Mr. Lee a board seat and making him co-chair of the CEO selection committee. Mr. Bromberg also worked for Raytheon Technologies for more than 20 years, leading Pratt & Whitney's military engines unit. Earlier in his career, he worked as an investment banker with Goldman Sachs and led several key acquisitions and divestitures at United Technologies. The incoming CEO 'ticks the key experience boxes' necessary to lead CAE, National Bank analyst Cameron Doerksen said in a research note Monday. 'We believe CAE has a meaningful opportunity to streamline its operations to improve capital efficiency and free cash flow, and we expect this will be a key focus for the incoming CEO,' the analyst said.

Meta reportedly plans to fully automate advertising with AI by 2026

Meta Platforms META-Q aims to allow brands to fully create and target advertisements with its artificial intelligence tools by the end of next year, the Wall Street Journal reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter. The social media company's apps have 3.43 billion unique active users globally and its AI-driven tools help create personalized ad variations, image backgrounds and automated adjustments to video ads, making it lucrative for advertisers. A brand could provide a product image and a budget, and Meta's AI would generate the ad, including image, video and text, and then determine user targeting on Instagram and Facebook with budget suggestions, the report said. Meta's strong ad sales dampen tariff-induced fears Opinion: Big Tech rides roughshod over everyone – even its own shareholders Meta also plans to let advertisers personalize ads using AI, so that users see different versions of the same ad in real time, based on factors such as geolocation, according to the report. The owner of Facebook and Instagram, whose majority of revenue comes from ad sales, did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Social media firms such as Snap, Pinterest and Reddit are increasingly investing in AI and machine learning tools to attract advertisers in an intensely competitive and crowded digital ad market. Technology firms such as Google and OpenAI have also launched video and image-generation AI tools, but their widespread adoption in advertising remains in doubt as marketers weigh concerns over brand safety, creative control and quality. CEO Mark Zuckerberg stressed that advertisers needed AI products that delivered 'measurable results at scale' in the not-so-distant future. He added that the company aimed to build an AI one-stop shop where businesses can set goals, allocate budgets and let the platform handle the logistics.
