San Antonio, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - October 21, 2025) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE) (NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (the "Company" or "HIVE"), a diversified leader in sustainable blockchain and artificial intelligence ("AI") infrastructure, today announced it has signed a definitive agreement to develop an additional 100 megawatt ("MW") hydroelectric-powered data-center campus at its Yguazú site in Paraguay.

This Phase 3 expansion will increase HIVE's total renewable capacity in Paraguay to 400 MW. Management expects this addition, also powered by renewable hydroelectric energy from the Itaipú Dam, to be the largest facility of its kind in Paraguay, and to increase HIVE's global Bitcoin target to 35 Exahash per second ("EH/s") for 2026.

Strategic Expansion in Paraguay

Phase 3 follows the successful completion of Phase 1 (April 2025) and Phase 2 (September 2025), bringing Yguazú to its designed 300 MW capacity powered by clean hydro electricity from the Itaipú Dam.

With civil and electrical infrastructure already engineered for 300 MW, construction of Phase 3 will begin in early 2026, with full commissioning targeted for Q3 2026. Once complete, HIVE's total renewable infrastructure footprint will reach 540 MW across three countries-400 MW in Paraguay and 140 MW across Canada and Sweden.

Frank Holmes, HIVE's Executive Chairman, commented: "Our expansion in Paraguay reinforces HIVE's

long-term vision: scaling sustainable, low-cost digital infrastructure powered entirely by renewable energy. Operating across nine time zones, five languages, and three nations, HIVE continues to execute with efficiency, innovation, and first-mover advantage. We've scaled Bitcoin mining from 6 EH/s at the start of the year to nearly 22 EH/s today, on track to reach 25 EH/s by year-end. With the advent of next generation ASIC miners, this additional 100 MW provides a path to a potential 35 EH/s in 2026-a milestone that reflects both our operational excellence and our global growth ambition."

Aydin Kilic, President & CEO, added: "This expansion strengthens both engines of our business model. Tier 1 Bitcoin mining drives robust cash flow and network share, while Tier 3 high-performance computing ("HPC") and AI-our BUZZ HPC division-builds diversified growth in next-generation computing. Led by Craig Tavares, BUZZ HPC is our center of excellence for sovereign AI cloud and GPU-accelerated workloads, developing Tier 3+ liquid-cooled data centers purpose-built for AI model training, inference, and scientific computing. Our strategic partnership with Bell Canada, through the Bell AI Fabric initiative, integrates BUZZ's AI infrastructure with Bell's national fiber network and data-centers to deliver one of Canada's most advanced sovereign AI ecosystems. This collaboration enables government, enterprise, and research clients to securely access BUZZ's GPU compute clusters all powered by clean energy. Through this partnership and our Toronto buildout, we expect to 5x our HPC capacity in 2026. HIVE's turbo-charged twin-engine model-Tier 1 for Bitcoin, Tier 3 for AI-positions us as a global digital-infrastructure leader at the intersection of blockchain and artificial intelligence."

Gabriel Lamas, Country President of HIVE Paraguay, stated: "This additional 100 MW expansion brings Yguazú to full design capacity. Our engineering teams are ready-civil works and substation pads are complete. This milestone strengthens Paraguay's position as a regional hub for clean energy innovation and underscores HIVE's role as a trusted infrastructure partner in Latin America."

2026 Strategic Outlook

In 2026, HIVE expects to continue scaling both its Tier 1 Bitcoin and Tier 3 HPC divisions.

• Bitcoin Operations: Targeting > 35 EH/s global capacity, supported by next-generation ASIC technology and low-cost renewable power.
• HPC & AI Cloud: Targeting 5x processing growth, enabling large-language-model training, AI inference services, and sovereign AI compute for Canadian institutions and enterprise clients.

Backed by strategic partnerships, renewable energy assets, and a proven record of operational excellence, HIVE Digital Technologies is uniquely positioned to lead the next era of sustainable digital infrastructure.

HIVE Digital Technologies Surpasses 22 EH/s and Accelerates Conversion from Tier-1 to Tier-3 Data Centers for AI Cloud Expansion in Sweden

This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's
amended and restated prospectus supplement dated May 14, 2025, to its short form base shelf
prospectus dated September 11, 2024.

San Antonio, Texas--(Newsfile Corp. - October 27, 2025) - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSXV: HIVE)

(NASDAQ: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (the "Company" or "HIVE"), a global leader in sustainable digital infrastructure, is pleased to announce it has surpassed 22 Exahash per second ("EH/s") in global Bitcoin-mining capacity - marking 267% year-to-date growth - while accelerating the conversion of Tier-1 data centers into Tier-3 high-performance computing ("HPC") facilities to expand its AI Cloud footprint in Sweden.

HIVE Achieves Major Mining Milestone

HIVE's 22 EH/s milestone reflects the successful expansion of its hydro-powered Valenzuela facility in Paraguay, the Company's third 100-megawatt green campus in the country. The site draws renewable energy from the Itaipu Dam, one of the world's largest hydroelectric sources.

Current production has reached 9.5 Bitcoin per day with fleet efficiency of approximately 17.8 Joules per Terahash ("J/TH") and a 55% mining margin* after electricity costs at $47 Hashprice, demonstrating HIVE's operational efficiency across multiple countries and nine time zones.

With additional ASIC miners coming online, HIVE expects to reach 25 EH/s by U.S. Thanksgiving, targeting fleet efficiency of 17.5 J/TH. Management reports EH/s growth as material to revenue and cash-flow expansion, noting that digital-infrastructure companies are typically valued at multiples of revenue and cash flow.

Accelerating AI Cloud Expansion in Sweden

HIVE is expanding its European AI Cloud operations by converting an existing Tier-1 data center in Boden, Sweden, into a Tier-3 liquid-cooled HPC facility - a strategy that provides a faster path to cash flow, typically 9 months versus 3 years for a greenfield build.

Engineering and design are complete, with construction commencing this quarter. The upgraded facility will deliver a robust critical load, supporting 2,000 NVIDIA GPUs for enterprise-grade AI and GPU cloud workloads across the European Union.

This expansion builds on HIVE's AI operations in downtown Stockholm, active for the past two years, which have served early enterprise clients and validated demand for green, low-latency compute in Northern Europe.

Together with the BUZZ data center in Toronto-which will host an additional 2,000 GPUs in 2026-and planned growth in New Brunswick, HIVE has secured power and land at three strategic locations for next-generation, renewable-powered HPC operations.

Through its colocation partnership with Bell Canada, HIVE's BUZZ division can rapidly deploy AI Cloud GPU infrastructure, enabling flexible scaling to meet enterprise demand. Across its global pipeline, HIVE expects to operate approximately 6,000 GPUs by 2026, serving both AI training and inference workloads.

Executive Commentary

Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, stated: "Crossing 22 EH/s marks another major milestone for HIVE as we build one of the world's most efficient and sustainable Bitcoin-mining fleets. At the same time, our AI strategy accelerates the conversion of Tier-1 data centers into Tier-3 HPC facilities, positioning HIVE as a dual-engine digital-power company that bridges blockchain and the AI super cycle."

Mr. Holmes continued: "It is now widely recognized that Bitcoin miners were the original builders of Tier- 1 digital-infrastructure networks-developing substations, fiber connectivity, and energy-optimization systems that laid the foundation for today's hyperscale AI data centers. This model is now being replicated globally, including in West Texas, where projects such as Stargate, a US $500 billion HPC campus, mirror the pioneering work of early Bitcoin-mining companies that sourced stranded or surplus renewable energy."

Aydin Kilic, President & CEO, added: "Repurposing existing infrastructure allows HIVE to reach cash- flow generation much faster than greenfield projects. Our operational strength enables us to grow both Bitcoin mining and AI Cloud services in parallel, all powered by renewable energy."

Johanna Thornblad, Sweden Country President, commented: "The Boden expansion reinforces Sweden's leadership in sustainable digital infrastructure. Building on our two years of AI operations in Stockholm, this conversion project will deliver enterprise-grade AI capacity to the EU market faster and more efficiently than traditional data-center builds."

Outlook and Funding

All hardware for HIVE's Paraguay expansion is fully funded and delivered, supported by fixed-rate hydroelectric power ensuring predictable, scalable economics. The Company continues to model robust annual recurring revenue (ARR) potential from both Bitcoin production and AI Cloud contracts, consistent with non-GAAP industry standards.

HIVE targets 25 EH/s by late 2025 and 35 EH/s during 2026, while scaling its HPC division five-fold over the same period.

* As used herein, "Mining Margin" is calculated by dividing the mining profit (revenue generated from mining activities minus power costs related to those activities) by the total revenue generated from mining activities and expressed as a percentage. In mining, the most significant expense is power cost;, in this estimate we are assuming an average of USD 5 cents per kilowatt hour for indicative purposes. "ARR", as a metric, represents revenue only, and does not represent profitability. ARR is presented here as a measure of growth. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with and should not be viewed as alternatives to or replacements for measures of operating results and liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP in HIVE's quarterly and annual financial statements. All financial projections reflect current market sentiment and public disclosures as of September 2025; actual outcomes may vary. Investors should conduct their own due diligence.

October 27, 2025.

Schedule "A"

HIVE DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES LTD.

This news release constitutes a "designated news release" for the purposes of the Company's amended and restated prospectus supplement dated May 14, 2025, to its short form base shelf prospectus dated September 11, 2024.

San Antonio, Texas, October 27, 2025 - HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (TSX.V: HIVE) (Nasdaq: HIVE) (FSE: YO0) (the "Company" or "HIVE"), a global leader in sustainable digital infrastructure, is pleased to announce it has surpassed 22 Exahash per second ("EH/s") in global Bitcoin-mining capacity - marking 267% year-to-date growth - while accelerating the conversion of Tier-1 data centers into Tier-3 high-performance computing ("HPC") facilities to expand its AI Cloud footprint in Sweden.

HIVE Achieves Major Mining Milestone

HIVE's 22 EH/s milestone reflects the successful expansion of its hydro-powered Valenzuela facility in Paraguay, the Company's third 100-megawatt green campus in the country. The site draws renewable energy from the Itaipu Dam, one of the world's largest hydroelectric sources.

Current production has reached 9.5 Bitcoin per day with fleet efficiency of approximately 17.8 Joules per Terahash ("J/TH") and a 55% mining margin* after electricity costs at $47 Hashprice, demonstrating HIVE's operational efficiency across multiple countries and nine time zones.

With additional ASIC miners coming online, HIVE expects to reach 25 EH/s by U.S. Thanksgiving, targeting fleet efficiency of 17.5 J/TH. Management reports EH/s growth as material to revenue and cash-flow expansion, noting that digital-infrastructure companies are typically valued at multiples of revenue and cash flow.

Accelerating AI Cloud Expansion in Sweden

HIVE is expanding its European AI Cloud operations by converting an existing Tier-1 data center in Boden, Sweden, into a Tier-3 liquid-cooled HPC facility - a strategy that provides a faster path to cash flow, typically 9 months versus 3 years for a greenfield build.

Engineering and design are complete, with construction commencing this quarter. The upgraded facility will deliver a robust critical load, supporting 2,000 NVIDIA GPUs for enterprise-grade AI and GPU cloud workloads across the European Union.

This expansion builds on HIVE's AI operations in downtown Stockholm, active for the past two years, which have served early enterprise clients and validated demand for green, low-latency compute in Northern Europe.

Together with the BUZZ data center in Toronto-which will host an additional 2,000 GPUs in 2026-and planned growth in New Brunswick, HIVE has secured power and land at three strategic locations for next-generation, renewable-powered HPC operations.

Through its colocation partnership with Bell Canada, HIVE's BUZZ division can rapidly deploy AI Cloud GPU infrastructure, enabling flexible scaling to meet enterprise demand. Across its global pipeline, HIVE expects to operate approximately 6,000 GPUs by 2026, serving both AI training and inference workloads.

Executive Commentary

Frank Holmes, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman, stated: "Crossing 22 EH/s marks another major milestone for HIVE as we build one of the world's most efficient and sustainable Bitcoin-mining fleets. At the same time, our AI strategy accelerates the conversion of Tier-1 data centers into Tier-3 HPC facilities, positioning HIVE as a dual-engine digital-power company that bridges blockchain and the AI super cycle."

Mr. Holmes continued: "It is now widely recognized that Bitcoin miners were the original builders of Tier-1 digital-infrastructure networks-developing substations, fiber connectivity, and energy-optimization systems that laid the foundation for today's hyperscale AI data centers. This model is now being replicated globally, including in West Texas, where projects such as Stargate, a US $500 billion HPC campus, mirror the pioneering work of early Bitcoin-mining companies that sourced stranded or surplus renewable energy".

Aydin Kilic, President & CEO, added: "Repurposing existing infrastructure allows HIVE to reach cash-flow generation much faster than greenfield projects. Our operational strength enables us to grow both Bitcoin mining and AI Cloud services in parallel, all powered by renewable energy."

Johanna Thornblad, Sweden Country President, commented: "The Boden expansion reinforces Sweden's leadership in sustainable digital infrastructure. Building on our two years of AI operations in Stockholm, this conversion project will deliver enterprise-grade AI capacity to the EU market faster and more efficiently than traditional data-center builds."

Outlook and Funding

All hardware for HIVE's Paraguay expansion is fully funded and delivered, supported by fixed-rate hydroelectric power ensuring predictable, scalable economics. The Company continues to model robust annual recurring revenue (ARR) potential from both Bitcoin production and AI Cloud contracts, consistent with non-GAAP industry standards.

HIVE targets 25 EH/s by late 2025 and 35 EH/s during 2026, while scaling its HPC division five-fold over the same period.

* As used herein, "Mining Margin" is calculated by dividing the mining profit (revenue generated from mining activities minus power costs related to those activities) by the total revenue generated from mining activities and expressed as a percentage. In mining, the most significant expense is power cost;, in this estimate we are assuming an average of USD 5 cents per kilowatt hour for indicative purposes. "ARR", as a metric, represents revenue only, and does not represent profitability. ARR is presented here as a measure of growth. These non-GAAP measures should be read in conjunction with and should not be viewed as alternatives to or replacements for measures of operating results and liquidity presented in accordance with GAAP in HIVE's quarterly and annual financial statements. All financial projections reflect current market sentiment and public disclosures as of September 2025; actual outcomes may vary. Investors should conduct their own due diligence.
