Our official press release:
CRYPTX TO OFFER NEW PETAMINE IPO, WILL CLAIM 2% OF BITCOIN MINING MARKET WITH NEW HARDWARE, 1,500 TH/S HASH RATEBRUSSELS, Belgium, 16 May, 2014 – CryptX, a limited company in Brussels, Belgium, announced today that it will deploy an additional 1,000 TH/s for PetaMine, a hosted Bitcoin mine with a current hash rate of 500 TH/s. The hardware deployment comes as part of a new IPO, through which PetaMine will grow to a hash rate of 1,500 TH/s and capture 2% of the entire Bitcoin mining market.
“We have entered a new phase of Bitcoin mining,” said CryptX CEO and CFO, Bert Valkenborgs. “Professional hosted mining operations are the future of this market. PetaMine operates in the hosted mining space and is making the leap to become a major player.”
The hardware CryptX deploys at IPO will triple the mine's hashrate. PetaMine will utilize 286 Bitfury BF3500 miners, which hash at 3.5 TH per miner. These miners maintain a maximum power consumption of 2,750 watts or 0.785 watts per GH/s, making them the best performing Bitcoin miners available today.
CryptX issued the first PetaMine IPO in August, 2013. Out of 100,000 total units, 66,206 are trading on Havelock Investments. In this IPO, CryptX will issue the remaining 33,794 units, deploying an additional 1,000 TH/s for all units outstanding. These units will be sold in three batches of 10,000 units and a final batch of 3,794 units. The initial price per unit will be 0.095 BTC, increasing to 0.0975 for the second batch, 0.10 for the third batch, and 0.1025 for the final batch. These units will be for sale from 19-31 May, 2014 on the Havelock Investments trading platform.
“The new IPO will create even more value for our investors,” said Joeri Cornelissens, CryptX CTO. “As PetaMine grows, each unit represents more hashing power. The contribution from our investors has been crucial to PetaMine's success, and we couldn't be more pleased about the expansion we're pursuing.”
To continue building a sustainable mining operation, CryptX will retain the weekly dividend it pays to unit holders until the end of the IPO. Dividends will instead be invested in additional hardware so that unit holders enjoy a much higher yield per unit. Currently, each unit represents 7.55 GH/s of total hash power. After deploying the additional 1,000 TH/s, each unit will represent 15 GH/s of hash power. Weekly dividends will be restored after IPO. Through these measures, CryptX plans to mine a total of nearly 25,000 BTC in just one year.
