Global Consolidator
“Combining HyperBlock’s large-scale Mining-as-a-Service model with Cryptoglobal’s existing mining, custodial storage and crypto trading businesses, creates a strong foundation for both organic growth and growth through acquisition. We are poised to become a global leader and consolidator in Cryptocurrency mining and asset management,” stated Hyperblock CEO Sean Walsh.
The acquisition is planned to be completed by the end of May 2018, subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions including approval by the shareholders of both companies, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice and the TSXV. The combined entity will operate under the name Hyperblock Technologies Corp., and list on the Canadian Securities Exchange.
Combined Power
The combined company also intends to generate cost and revenue synergies by leveraging Hyperblock’s relationship with Bitcoin.com (mining pool) to drive hashrate rental from Cryptoglobal’s mining operations, and by further increasing its consumer footprint through offering additional services by the company, including trading and custodial services.
