Optimisation of Digital Infrastructure Capacity
Active Energy Group plc is implementing a treasury management strategy to utilize spare digital infrastructure capacity in the UAE for proprietary Bitcoin mining, aiming to maximize shareholder value by generating near-term revenue from idle assets. The company will hold any mined Bitcoin within its treasury, with a policy to limit digital asset holdings to no more than 30% of the total treasury, rebalancing through sales if thresholds are exceeded, with proceeds potentially reinvested into infrastructure development to support a target of 100MW capacity by the end of 2026. Furthermore, 60% of the capacity at their initial 8MW UAE site has been pre-sold, with the site anticipated to be operational by the end of January 2026. Disclaimer*

[{"type":"text","content":"\n\nThis announcement contains inside information for the purposes of Article 7 of the UK version of Regulation (EU) No 596/2014 which is part of UK law by virtue of the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018, as amended (\"MAR\").

By deploying spare capacity internally, the Company can generate near-term value while continuing to actively contract capacity to third-party hosting, AI, and data infrastructure customers.\nAny Bitcoin mined will be held within the Company's Treasury and managed in line with policy limits so that, no more than 30% of the Company's treasury will be held in digital assets at any given time. Where treasury holdings move outside prescribed thresholds, the Company expects to rebalance accordingly, including through the sale of surplus digital assets. Proceeds from any such rebalancing may be reinvested directly into further infrastructure development, supporting the Company's targeted expansion to 100MW of capacity by the end of 2026.\nAn additional operational advantage of this approach is the acceleration of future client onboarding. By installing and optimising mining equipment in advance, procurement and installation lead times are materially reduced, allowing new customers to become operational within the infrastructure immediately and without delay.\nCapacity Update\nFurther to the Company's RNS dated 6 October 2025, which confirmed that approximately 35% of the capacity at its initial 8MW UAE site had been pre-sold, the Company is pleased to ann...
