Upon initial completion, 20 megawatts of power will be available, and, subject to the results of a load study, up to 250 megawatts of power may be available in the future

Ault Alliance, Inc. (NYSE:AULT), a diversified holding company ("Ault Alliance" or the "Company") today announced that its subsidiary, BNI Montana, LLC ("BNI"), a newly formed subsidiary of BitNile, Inc. ("BitNile") has entered into an asset purchase agreement with TypeX, LLC ("TypeX"), to acquire two land lease agreements and two corresponding power purchase agreements in Montana. The lease and power agreements run for a period of 10 years, with a 10-year renewal option. In addition, BNI has entered into a master services agreement for TypeX to build out and develop fully operational data centers dedicated to Bitcoin mining operations on the properties (the "Facilities"), and to manage the Facilities for a period of two years.

With the acquisition, BitNile anticipates that upon initial completion, the Facilities will provide up to a combined 20 megawatts of power, enabling up to 6,500 S19j Pro Antminers to operate, which BitNile expects to be completed in June 2023. TypeX believes that the substations providing power to the Facilities may have the ability to handle capacity up to 250 megawatts of power, which could be sufficient to operate up to 80,000 S19j Pro Antminers. BitNile has the right to conduct a load study to determine future capacity and if economically viable, acquire such additional power capacity. No assurances can be given that BitNile will conduct such a load study, that the load study results will support the ability to expand to 250 megawatts of power or that BitNile will have the financial resources to acquire such additional capacity, if available.

The completion of the Facilities is expected to allow BitNile to deploy Bitcoin miners it purchased from Bitmain Technologies Limited. The geographical distribution between the Company's Michigan data center and the Facilities will also help BitNile diversify its risk related to its portfolio of mining equipment.

"We are excited to expand our operations in Montana and further diversify our risk in the Bitcoin mining space," said Milton "Todd" Ault, III, the Company's Executive Chairman. "The build out of the Facilities is part of BitNile's long-term vision to create a sustainable and profitable Bitcoin mining operation. The Company plans to leverage the cost-effective power provided by the Montana data centers to drive growth and increase profitability."

Kevin Matcham, CEO of TypeX said, "TypeX is excited to announce this strategic partnership with BitNile. With our focus on energy infrastructure, this collaboration is a natural fit for our team to expand North American mining sites. We look forward to providing BitNile with high-quality data center buildouts and best-in-class management services."

The Company notes that all estimates and other projections are subject to the timely completion of the Montana Facilities and the actual delivery and installation of Bitcoin miners, the conducting of a load study by BitNile and the ability to pay for infrastructure upgrades necessary to delivery additional power to the Facilities, and other factors that may impact the results of production or operations. Additionally, the Company notes that BitNile's mining operations are separate from the BitNile.com Metaverse project, which is owned by BitNile.com, Inc., a separate subsidiary of the Company.
