How will the deal with Intel affect the company’s development? HIVE plans to begin purchasing and placing new miners in the second half of 2022. It will take about 12 months to complete the order and deploy the capacity. The total capacity of the bitcoin farm will increase by 95%, from the current 1,9 EH/s to 3,7 EH/s.
