Management Comments

  • Management intends to raise additional funds by way of a public or private offering.

Industry Context

The cryptocurrency mining industry is highly competitive and rapidly evolving. The company faces competition from both established and emerging companies, including publicly traded and private companies that have substantial financial resources. The company is shifting its strategy to include co-location hosting, which is a growing trend in the industry.

Comparison to Industry Standards

  • The company defines its principal competitors as other publicly traded bitcoin miners such as Marathon Digital Holdings, Inc., Riot Platforms, Inc., CleanSpark, Inc., Hut 8 Mining Corp., Hive Blockchain Technologies, LTD., and Iris Energy Limited.
  • These competitors generally have greater financial resources, more extensive operating histories, and greater access to capital than T-REX.
  • Many competitors benefit from economies of scale and invest more in technology, infrastructure, and research and development, which enables them to operate more efficiently and secure mining equipment and energy at lower costs.
  • T-REX's revenue of $15,824 is significantly lower than the revenue of its larger competitors, indicating a smaller scale of operations.
  • The company's net loss of $1,007,654 is also indicative of its smaller scale and challenges in achieving profitability compared to more established players in the industry.
