HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. has reported its financial results for the full year ended March 31, 2025, showcasing significant achievements in both its digital currency mining and high-performance computing (HPC) divisions. The company demonstrated robust operational and financial performance, underscoring its strategic expansion and commitment to sustainable infrastructure.
Fiscal Year 2025 Financial Overview
The company posted a total revenue of $115.3 million for the fiscal year. This revenue was generated from two primary streams: digital currency mining and HPC hosting services.
- Digital Currency Mining Revenue: Contributed $105.2 million to the total. While this represents a 5.2% decrease from the previous year, it was largely offset by a 40% increase in the company's mining hashrate, which grew from 4.5 EH/s to 6.3 EH/s. This growth occurred despite challenges posed by the April 2024 Bitcoin halving event and increased network difficulty.
- HPC and AI Cloud Revenue: Achieved remarkable growth, generating $10.1 million—a threefold increase from the $3.4 million reported in FY2024. This surge is attributed to the expansion of the company's GPU fleet, which caters to the strong demand for artificial intelligence and high-performance computing services.
Operational Performance and Bitcoin Production
Throughout the fiscal year, HIVE successfully mined 1,414 Bitcoin. This production has bolstered the company's HODL strategy, with total digital currency assets valued at $181.1 million as of March 31, 2025. This asset base includes 2,201 Bitcoin.
The company reported a gross operating margin of $25.1 million, representing a healthy 21.8% margin. General and administrative (G&A) expenses saw an increase to $16.6 million, up from $13.2 million in the prior year. This rise is linked to strategic investments in staff to support global expansion initiatives, particularly in Paraguay, and the growth of the BUZZ HPC business, which now boasts over 5,000 GPUs.
Under US GAAP reporting, the company recorded a net loss of $3.0 million. However, a key profitability metric, Adjusted EBITDA, was strong at $56.2 million, or 48.7% of total revenue.
Management Commentary on Strategic Direction
Company leadership expressed strong optimism about the fiscal year's results and the strategic path forward.
Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, highlighted the "disciplined growth" achieved in a challenging post-halving economic environment. He emphasized the significance of acquiring 300 MW of hydro-powered green-energy sites in Paraguay, which he believes will be transformative for both the mining and HPC divisions. Holmes reiterated the company's goal of scaling its Bitcoin mining business to 25 EH/s by December 31, 2025.
Aydin Kilic, President & CEO, pointed to the foundation laid in Fiscal 2025 as the beginning of a "transformative chapter" for HIVE. He noted that the first 100 MW at the Yguazú site in Paraguay was commissioned ahead of schedule, nearly doubling the company's hashrate to 11.5 EH/s post-year-end. Kilic stressed the company's focus on driving down production costs, expanding cash flow, and delivering long-term shareholder value through a diversified, green-energy-focused strategy.
Darcy Daubaras, CFO, announced a milestone in the company's financial reporting, having transitioned from IFRS to US GAAP to enhance comparability with U.S.-listed peers. Daubaras confirmed that the 300 MW Paraguay expansion is fully funded and expressed excitement about being on track to deliver the 25 EH/s target, which would more than quadruple the hashrate from March 2025. He described this expansion as the start of HIVE's transformation into a "globally scaled, sustainability-focused leader in Bitcoin infrastructure."

Fourth Quarter FY2025 Financial Highlights
The company also reported its results for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025.
- Total Revenue: $31.2 million.
- Digital Currency Mining Revenue: $28.1 million, a 5.5% sequential increase from Q3, driven by a higher average mining hashrate.
- Buzz HPC Revenue: Achieved a record $3.0 million, up 18.5% sequentially.
- Bitcoin Production: Mined 303 Bitcoin, a 6% decrease from the previous quarter due to increased network difficulty.
- Gross Operating Margin: $8.8 million, or 28.2%.
- G&A Expenses: $5.3 million, slightly up from Q3.
- Net Income: Reported a GAAP net loss of $52.9 million for the quarter.
The net loss was primarily due to non-cash accounting revaluations. A $26.4 million revaluation was recorded on digital currencies held on the balance sheet as a result of a lower quarter-end spot Bitcoin price. It is important to note that the Bitcoin price has since recovered to approximately $101,000 as of the report date. An additional $6.7 million non-cash, unrealized loss was related to equity investments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is HIVE Digital Technologies' primary business model?
HIVE Digital Technologies operates as a sustainable data center infrastructure company. Its core business involves digital currency mining, primarily Bitcoin, and providing high-performance computing (HPC) cloud services for applications like artificial intelligence. The company distinguishes itself by powering these operations with renewable hydroelectric energy.
How did the Bitcoin halving in 2024 affect HIVE's mining revenue?
The Bitcoin halving in April 2024 reduced the block reward for miners, which compressed industry economics. While HIVE's digital currency mining revenue saw a slight year-over-year decrease of 5.2%, this was mostly offset by a significant 40% increase in the company's operational hashrate and generally higher Bitcoin prices throughout much of the period.
What is driving the growth in HIVE's HPC/AI segment?
The HPC/AI segment, known as BUZZ, experienced approximately 3x growth year-over-year. This explosive growth is driven by strong market demand for AI computing power. HIVE has expanded its fleet of GPUs to over 5,000 units to meet this demand, generating revenue by hosting and processing complex computational workloads for clients.
Why did HIVE switch from IFRS to US GAAP reporting?
The transition to US GAAP aligns with HIVE's strategic objectives as a company listed on the Nasdaq exchange. It enhances the comparability of its financial results with its U.S.-listed peers and supports the company's ambitions for growth within U.S. capital markets by providing a familiar reporting framework for American investors.
What are HIVE's main strategic goals for the near future?
HIVE's primary strategic goal is to aggressively scale its Bitcoin mining capacity to reach 25 EH/s by the end of 2025, a significant increase from the 6.3 EH/s reported at the end of March 2025. Concurrently, the company aims to continue the rapid expansion of its HPC business and leverage its new green energy sites in Paraguay to improve efficiency and lower production costs.
How does HIVE incorporate sustainability into its operations?
Sustainability is a cornerstone of HIVE's strategy. The company specifically seeks out locations with access to abundant, renewable hydroelectric power for its data centers. Its recent major expansion into Paraguay is centered on 300 MW of hydro-powered energy, minimizing the carbon footprint of its energy-intensive operations and appealing to environmentally conscious investors.
