AgriFORCE Launches Tri-Pillar Strategy to Power the Future of Digital Infrastructure
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. and VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. ('AgriFORCE' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: AGRI) today announced a transformative tri-pillar growth strategy aimed at capitalizing on the accelerating global demand for computational power. This strategic framework focuses on three key areas: Bitcoin treasury development, modular compute infrastructure, and integration with scalable, off-grid energy systems. 'In a world where AI, blockchain, and edge networks are driving exponential compute needs, energy has become the new digital currency,' said Jolie Kahn, CEO of AgriFORCE. 'Our mission is simple: secure the energy, and the compute will follow. This strategy advances our already laid out infrastructure while unlocking long-term value through intelligent power monetization.' 1. Bitcoin Treasury: Building a Strategic Digital Reserve AgriFORCE has begun accumulating Bitcoin through self-mining and intends to follow a dual approach also focusing on direct market acquisition. In the past seven months, the company has mined 7 BTC (valued at approximately $750,000). Its strategy includes: - Allocating up to 50% of capital raised toward Bitcoin purchases - Retaining up to 50% of mined Bitcoin in long-term treasury - Creating a blended reserve cost by combining low-cost acquisition and in-house production This approach strengthens AgriFORCE's balance sheet while ensuring both liquidity and upside exposure in the digital asset space. 2. Compute Infrastructure: Scaling with Energy-First Design AgriFORCE currently operates three mining campuses across Alberta and Ohio, delivering roughly 6 MW of capacity and 0.17 EH/s of hash power. The company is targeting 1 EH/s by the end of Q1 2026, supported by: - A strategic partnership with BlueFlare Energy™ Solutions Inc. - Access to over 50 MW of secured natural gas with upward potential across multiple sites in Alberta - Deployment of mobile, modular gas-to-power units for off-grid scalability - A development pipeline expected to exceed 100 MW by 2026 Jolie Kahn added, 'Our model inverts traditional infrastructure development — we convert stranded gas into compute power, activating new sites in weeks, not years.' 3. Future-Ready Systems: From Bitcoin to AI and Edge Compute AgriFORCE's modular architecture extends beyond crypto mining, offering compute capabilities tailored for AI, edge computing, and sovereign data solutions. Key capabilities include: - AI inference in latency-critical environments - Decentralized cloud and edge hosting - Private, off-grid compute services for telecom and industrial clients This diversification expands revenue potential and mitigates long-term risk across the digital infrastructure spectrum. The Energy-Compute Nexus: A Strategic Edge 'At AgriFORCE, energy isn't a constraint — it's our advantage,' said Chris Polimeni, CFO. 'As energy becomes the limiting factor for compute expansion, we've positioned ourselves to lead — not follow — in scalable infrastructure.' About AgriFORCE AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. (NASDAQ: AGRI) is a publicly traded infrastructure innovator deploying energy-first digital asset platforms across Bitcoin, AI, and edge computing ecosystems. By converting underutilized natural gas into modular, high-efficiency compute environments, AgriFORCE is redefining how energy fuels the digital age.

AgriFORCE (NASDAQ: AGRI )Emerges from Bitcoin 2025 with Expanded Industry Relationships and Clear Path to Infrastructure Leadership
Three Days of Collaboration Reinforce AgriFORCE's Role in Grid-Efficient Mining and Digital Energy Futures Vancouver, British Columbia and West Palm Beach, FL, May 30, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Following an impactful presence at Bitcoin 2025, AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd. ('AgriFORCE' or the 'Company') (NASDAQ: AGRI) is pleased to share key takeaways, strategic insights, and next steps in its mission to accelerate sustainable digital infrastructure development. Key Takeaways from Bitcoin 2025 Strengthened Ecosystem Relationships AgriFORCE leveraged the Las Vegas conference to deepen relationships with leading utility operators, modular data center OEMs, and energy-integrated hosting platforms. Notably, the Company initiated co-development dialogues with North American natural gas aggregators and advanced load-balancing software providers focused on dynamic mining-to-grid orchestration. These new synergies are expected to streamline future deployment of TerraHash Digital ™ sites across underutilized energy corridors. Investor and Analyst Interest Institutional engagement was a standout theme. The AgriFORCE team met with multiple hedge funds and digital asset infrastructure allocators, receiving positive feedback on its hybrid infrastructure-token model. Several follow-up discussions are already scheduled with investors seeking access to sustainable compute yields and inflation-hedged hard asset exposure. Media & Thought Leadership Coverage AgriFORCE and CEO Jolie Kahn were featured in multiple media segments during the event, including a panel highlight in Mining Disrupted Weekly and an interview with The Hashcast, focusing on AgriFORCE's dual-role in regenerative energy systems and high-efficiency compute. Community influencers on YouTube and X (formerly Twitter) amplified the Company's message around the convergence of agricultural innovation and decentralized infrastructure. Reaffirmed Commitment to Sustainability & Inclusion As part of the 'Women in Bitcoin' initiative at the conference, Ms. Kahn participated in roundtable sessions promoting inclusive leadership in digital infrastructure. AgriFORCE reaffirmed its commitment to advancing diversity in energy tech, while scaling initiatives that tie grid optimization to sustainable land and food systems. Next Steps Roadmap Execution Based on insights and partnerships from Bitcoin 2025, AgriFORCE is fast-tracking two pilot deployments in Q3 2025—one in a legacy agricultural zone with stranded power in Alberta, and another in the U.S. Southeast focused on dual-output (mining + agtech) capacity. The Company is also finalizing its token economics upgrade, aligning with Solana for scalable validator integration. Q2/Q3 Engagements AgriFORCE will continue momentum through a series of strategic engagements including its June participation in the North American Blockchain Summit and a targeted investor roadshow spanning New York, Toronto, and Dubai. These efforts aim to broaden global awareness and attract aligned capital to its infrastructure pipeline. Follow-Up Availability AgriFORCE invites stakeholders, utilities, tech partners, and investors to schedule one-on-one briefings to explore partnership opportunities, joint ventures, or site-specific development alignments. Quote from CEO Jolie Kahn: 'Our time at Bitcoin 2025 confirmed that the future of mining lies at the intersection of grid intelligence, sustainability, and global collaboration. AgriFORCE is proud to be at the center of that movement,' said Ms. Kahn. 'We are energized by the relationships we've formed and the work ahead.' About AgriFORCE Growing Systems Ltd.
