BTCS Provides Shareholder Update on Recent Accomplishments
(firmenpresse) - ARLINGTON, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 10/01/15 -- (OTCQB: BTCS) ("BTCS" or the "Company"), a blockchain technology focused company which secures the blockchain through its transaction verification services business, gained significant traction in its core transaction verification services business segment during the third quarter of 2015, achieving multiple strategic milestones.
In September, the Company signed a definitive merger agreement with Spondoolies-Tech Ltd. ("Spondoolies"), a leading global manufacturer of transaction verification servers which reported audited revenue of more than $28 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The merger combines the operational expertise of BTCS' transaction verification operations with Spondoolies' industry leading technology.
Also in September, Spondoolies announced the pending debut of its third-generation Application Specific Integrated Circuit ("ASIC") server, the SP50. Expected to provide a 4x efficiency improvement over current technology, the implementation of SP50s at the Company's North Carolina facility should significantly increase the Company's hashing power and improve operating margins. While BTCS operated ASIC servers with a hash rate of 891 TH/s (trillion calculations per second) during the third quarter of 2015, its North Carolina facility has the power capacity to run approximately 20,000 TH/s of the Spondoolies' SP50 servers.
Earlier in the third quarter, laying the foundation for future increases in hashing rates, BTCS doubled the operating capacity at its North Carolina facility from 1.5 megawatts ("mw") to 3mw.
BTCS earned 683 bitcoins during the third quarter of 2015. This represents quarter-on-quarter growth of 24% compared to the second quarter of 2015, where BTCS earned 552 bitcoins for its transaction verification services. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, BTCS earned 1,329 bitcoins, up 2,481% compared to 52 bitcoins earned during the full year 2014.
"We've previously talked about our goal of building a broad ecosystem to capitalize on the multitude of opportunities in the evolving blockchain industry. The strategic milestones we've achieved during the third quarter represent a significant leap forward in making this ecosystem a reality," stated Charles Allen, chief executive officer of BTCS. "Complementing these successes, we're very pleased to have also recently announced a new equipment finance facility that will enable us to effectively grow our business and increase return on equity while avoiding dilution to our valued shareholders. This is yet another key accomplishment that we believe will prove invaluable as we ramp our growing transaction verification services business in the quarters ahead."
