The publicly listed Bitcoin (BTC) miner from Wall Street, HIVE Digital Technologies (NASDAQ: HIVE) announced today (Tuesday) its strategic decision to relocate its headquarters from Vancouver, Canada to San Antonio, Texas, marking a shift in the company’s operational focus toward the U.S. market.
The blockchain infrastructure company’s move comes amid growing optimism about the U.S. cryptocurrency sector under the incoming Trump administration, which has signaled a more supportive stance toward digital asset innovation. The relocation includes plans to transition to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) reporting by March 2025.
Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of HIVE
“The depth and breadth of U.S. capital markets are unparalleled and key to our growth strategy,” said Frank Holmes, Executive Chairman of HIVE. “The U.S. market, with its $40 trillion capitalization and daily trading volumes of $500 billion, offers HIVE the liquidity, visibility, and valuation opportunities we need to scale.”
Texas, known for its business-friendly environment and robust energy infrastructure, provides an ideal setting for Wall Street Bitcoin miners. The move is expected to enhance HIVE’s access to capital markets and strengthen relationships with U.S.-based investors and partners.
Darcy Daubaras, CFO of HIVE
“Relocating our head office to the U.S. and changing our reporting to US GAAP aligns greatly with our strategic goals of operational efficiency, sustainability, and expanding our market presence,” Darcy Daubaras, CFO of HIVE, added. “These moves enhance our financial transparency and position us for long-term success in the global market.”
While the company’s headquarters will shift to San Antonio, HIVE’s CEO and CFO will remain in Canada to ensure operational continuity. The company plans to hire an Internal Auditor with Sarbanes-Oxley expertise in San Antonio to support U.S. regulatory compliance efforts.
The relocation is expected to boost trading liquidity and attract global investor interest, particularly given the company’s enhanced presence in the U.S. market. With data centers already operational in Canada, Sweden, and upcoming facilities in Paraguay, HIVE continues to expand its global footprint in digital asset mining and AI computing solutions.
Wall Street Bitcoin Miner HIVE Expands Mining Fleet
HIVE Digital Technologies announced last month a major expansion of its mining operations. The firm ordered 5,000 Avalon A15-194T ASIC miners from Canaan, representing its second significant equipment acquisition within the same month. This move comes as the company positions itself for potential growth amid Bitcoin new all-time highs above $100,000.
With these upgrades, HIVE expects its operational capacity to increase from 5.6 exahash per second (EH/s) to 6.4 EH/s by the end of 2025. HIVE’s expansion reflects a broader trend among publicly listed Bitcoin miners on Wall Street. Canaan, a manufacturer of mining machines, recently raised $30 million for investments, while MARA, the market’s largest miner, secured $850 million in interest-free funding and is planning substantial Bitcoin purchases.
