In addition, the securities may be offered and issued by the Company in consideration for the acquisition of other businesses, assets or securities. The consideration for any such acquisition may consist of any of the securities separately, a combination of securities or any combination of, among other things, securities, cash and the assumption of liabilities.

Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities, subscription receipts, units, warrants and share purchase contracts will not be listed on any securities or stock exchange or on any automated dealer quotation system. There is currently no market through which the Company’s securities, other than the Common Shares, may be sold and purchasers may not be able to resell such securities purchased under this short form prospectus. This may affect the pricing of the Company’s securities, other than the Common Shares, in the secondary market, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Company’s securities and the extent of issuer regulation. See “RISK FACTORS”.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully herein. This prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement may not describe these tax consequences fully. You should read the tax discussion in any applicable prospectus supplement with respect to any particular offering and consult your own tax advisor with respect to your own particular circumstances.

No underwriter has been involved in the preparation of this prospectus or performed any review of the contents of this prospectus.

This prospectus constitutes a public offering of the securities only in those jurisdictions where they may be lawfully offered for sale and only by persons permitted to sell the securities in such jurisdiction. All applicable information permitted under securities legislation to be omitted from this prospectus that has been so omitted will be contained in one or more prospectus supplements that will, except in respect of any sales pursuant to an “at-the-market” distribution as contemplated by National Instrument 44-102 – Shelf Distributions (“NI 44-102”), be delivered to purchasers together with this prospectus. Each prospectus supplement will be incorporated by reference into this prospectus for the purposes of securities legislation as of the date of the prospectus supplement and only for the purposes of the distribution of the securities to which the prospectus supplement pertains. You should read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement carefully before you invest in any securities issued pursuant to this prospectus. The Company’s securities may be sold pursuant to this prospectus through underwriters or dealers or directly or through agents designated from time to time at amounts and prices and other terms determined by us.

This Prospectus may qualify an “at-the-market distribution” as defined in NI 44-102.

The sale of Common Shares may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at non-fixed prices pursuant to transactions that are deemed to be an “at-the-market” distributions as contemplated by 44-102 and as permitted by applicable law, including sales made directly on the TSXV, the Nasdaq, or other existing trading markets for the Securities, and as set forth in a prospectus supplement for such purpose. See “PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION”.

A prospectus supplement will set out the names of any underwriters, dealers or agents involved in the sale of the Company’s securities, the amounts, if any, to be purchased by underwriters, the plan of distribution for such securities, including the net proceeds we expect to receive from the sale of such securities, if any, the amounts and prices at which such securities are to be sold and the compensation of such underwriters, dealers or agents.

In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of an offering of Securities, an offer or sale of the Securities within the United States or to U.S. persons by any dealer, whether or not participating in the offering, may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. Each prospectus supplement with respect to the Company’s securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including:

the person offering the securities;
the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or other placement agents;
the number and the purchase price of, and form of consideration for, our securities;
any proceeds to the Company from such sale; and
any commissions, fees, discounts and other items constituting underwriters’, dealers’ or agents’ compensation.

Investment in the securities being offered is highly speculative and involves significant risks that you should consider before purchasing such securities. You should carefully review the risks outlined in this prospectus (including any prospectus supplement) and in the documents incorporated by reference as well as the information under the heading “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and consider such risks and information in connection with an investment in the securities.

Any offering made pursuant to this prospectus is made by a Canadian issuer that is permitted, under a multijurisdictional disclosure system adopted by the United States and Canada, to prepare this prospectus in accordance with Canadian disclosure requirements. Prospective investors should be aware that such requirements are different from those of the United States. Financial statements incorporated by reference herein have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, and may be subject to foreign auditing and auditor independence standards, and thus may not be comparable to financial statements of United States companies.

Summary Description of the Business

HIVE is a growth oriented, publicly listed company. The Company operates in two segments: (a) the provision of data server facilities for the purposes of generating computational power, namely Hashrate which can be sold to mining pools or used in support of validating transactions on the Bitcoin network and (b) the provision of HPC data centers which can be used by customers for artificial intelligence and graphics rendering, among other things. The Company owns and leases predominantly green-energy-powered data center facilities in Canada, Sweden, and Paraguay; the Company provisions computational power at each of these sites. The Company sells the computational power to various third-party aggregators, including mining pools, enterprises supported by AI, and other miscellaneous data center applications. HIVE endeavors to position itself as a large-scale provisioner of computational power, diversified in applications and across jurisdictions, powered by renewable energy and operating an efficient corporate structure to minimize costs.

The Company is in the process of diversifying its business by utilizing its fleet of GPU-based cards to build systems that can provide computational power on a large scale. In addition, the Company intends to branch out into the rental of GPU server nodes and clusters via marketplaces and is exploring the development of a new service to be known as BUZZ Cloud. This cloud service is intended to offer to users a selection of options to access computing resources ranging from a virtual instance of a single GPU to a bare-metal server equipped with up to 10 GPUs to clusters of multiple servers.

For the purposes of this section:

"Bitcoin" shall refer to the native token of the Bitcoin Network which utilizes the SHA-256 algorithm. Bitcoin is a peer-to-peer payment system and the digital currency of the same name which uses open-source cryptography to control the creation and transfer of such digital currency, with "Bitcoin Network" meaning the network of computers running the software protocol underlying Bitcoin and which network maintains the database of Bitcoin ownership and facilitates the transfer of Bitcoin among parties, and "SHA-256" meaning a cryptographic Hash algorithm. SHA-256 generates an almost-unique 256-bit (32-byte) signature for a text. The most well-known cryptocurrencies that utilize the SHA-256 algorithm are Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash;

"Blockchain" shall refer to an immutable, decentralized public transaction ledger which records transactions, such as financial transactions in cryptocurrency, in chronological order. Bitcoin and Ethereum are examples of well-known and widely distributed blockchains;

"GPU" shall refer to a graphics processing unit, a programmable logic chip (processor) specialized for display functions and effective at solving digital currency hashing algorithms;

"Hash" shall refer to the output of a hash function, i.e. the output of the fundamental mathematical computation of a particular cryptocurrency's computer code which miners ("Miners") execute, and "Petahash" and "Exahash" or "PH" and "EH" mean, respectively, $1 \times 10^{15}$ Hashes and $1 \times 10^{18}$ Hashes; and

"Hashrate" shall refer to a measure of mining power whereby the expected income from mining is directly proportional to a Miner's hashrate normalized by the total hashrate of the network.

As of the date hereof, HIVE operates at twelve (12) data center sites. More detailed information regarding the business of the Company as well as its mining operations can be found in the 2025 AIF under the heading "DESCRIPTION OF THE BUSINESS - Description of the Business". The Company's operating and maintenance expenses are composed of electricity to power its computing equipment as well as cooling and lighting and other aspects of operating computer equipment. Other site expenses include leasing costs for the facilities, personnel salaries, internet access, equipment maintenance and software optimization, and facility security, maintenance and management.

The following is a summary of the Company's various data center sites as of June 30, 2025:

Site	Location	Installed Mining Hashpower(1)

(2) The figures provided in this table are approximations, and the actual computational power in use varies due to several factors, including the underlying prices of cryptocurrencies, demand for services, prices of power, replacement, relocation, or retirement of Miners, etc.
(3) Substation construction is in progress; foundation and infrastructure work for Planned 100MW of hydro-cooling containers is in progress.
(4) The 240 MVA $220 / 23\mathrm{kV}$ Substation has been successfully energized. All infrastructure for the initial air-cooled 100MW deployment is complete. The foundation and infrastructure work for Planned 100MW of hydro-cooling containers is in progress. As of March 31, 2025, the 160 MVA Substation is operational. The full 240 MVA Substation was energized on April 23, 2025, and is now fully operational.

The Company's facilities are strategically located in geographical locations where electricity costs are low due to an abundance of green energy, such as hydro power.

Current Mining Capacity and Revenue

As of June 30, 2025, the Company's daily revenue is approximately US$575,000, generated through payments of an average of 5.47 bitcoin mined per day using 10,950 PH/s of Bitcoin mining capacity from ASICs and, additionally, approximately $58,000 generated from high performance computing. The Company may elect to retire and upgrade existing machines with newer machines to improve hashrate efficiency, instead of focusing on hashrate growth on a forward-looking basis.

During the fourth financial quarter of 2022 and the 2023 financial year, the company elected to replace (the "2022Q4 Replacement") less efficient Miners (38 J/TH or worse) with the purchase and installation of approximately 12,300 BuzzMiners at a cost of approximately $35.0 million. The Company's purchase of 7,000 S21 Miners ("S21 Miners") cost approximately $24.5 million, quickly followed by an additional purchase of an additional 1,000 S21 Miners for $3.5 million (together, the "December 2023 Order"). On June 10, 2024 the Company announced a purchase of 1,000 S21 Pro Miners for $4.2 million (the "June 2024 Order"). On November 10, 2024, the Company announced the purchase of 6,500 Canaan Avalon A1566 with 185 TH/s per unit and 18.5 J/TH efficiency, and on November 20, 2024 the Company announced the purchase of 5,000 Canaan A15-194T with 194 TH/s and 18.5 J/TH efficiency (the "November 2024 Order"). On December 3, 2024, the Company announced the purchase of 13,480 S21+ Hydro Miners, with a unit efficiency of 15 J/TH and 319 TH/s per unit expected to produce 4.3 Exahash, for US$60.0 million; this order is subject to a call option pursuant to which HIVE may purchase an additional 13,480 units within one year, bringing the potential total order to 26,960 units, or 8.6 EH/s (the "December 2024 Order"). In March, 2025, the Company purchased 16,560 Antminer S21+, with a unit efficiency of 16.5 J/TH and 216 TH/s per unit, which are expected to produce 3.57 EH/s for approximately US$53.5 million; this also includes a call option to purchase an additional 15,000 Bitmain S21+ Hydro miners for US$67.0 million; within one year which would add an increase of 4.78 ExaHash, bringing the potential total order to 8.35 EH/s (the "March 2025 Order"). See below

for details on the Avalon Miners, S21 Miners and S21 Pro Miners. As of June 30, 2025, the Company's total Bitcoin ASIC mining capacity is 6,235 PH/s, which includes:

The Company has installed these ASIC Miners at the HIVE Sweden Facility.As of March 31, 2025 the company has approximately 1,400 GPUs unplugged. The Company notes that approximately 1,700 GPU's operating HPC workloads are still running in Stockholm as of March 31, 2024. However, there are no GPUs doing mining as of January 31, 2024.Older miners that cannot be plugged in or that are not profitable are sold or recycled.As of April 24, 2025, the Company is moving its fleet of BuzzMiners to Paraguay. This redistribution of BuzzMiners to Paraguay is in progress. The BuzzMiners are being replaced with higher efficiency ASICs which have been decommissioned from the Company's operations in Iceland.A total of 2,965 A1566 Miners have been installed at the Hive Sweden Facility from the November 2024 Order, to fill spare capacity and replace the least efficient miners.

(2) The Company's facility located in Iceland is no longer active.

Custodial services for digital currencies

The Company utilizes a platform provided by Fireblocks Inc. (“Fireblocks”), which is headquartered in New York to maintain custody¹ and secure its digital currencies. The Company also holds its digital currencies in secure storage wallets at Bank Frick (“Bank Frick” and together with Fireblocks, the “Custodians”), which is headquartered in Liechtenstein. The Custodians are responsible only for safeguarding the cryptocurrency assets of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Custodians process cryptocurrency asset payments for the Company or for others. Neither of the Custodians uses a sub-custodian and neither is a related party of the Company. Bank Frick is regulated by the Liechtenstein financial market authority and is the foreign equivalent of a Canadian financial institution (as that term is defined in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus Exemption). The Company is not aware of anything with regards to the Custodians’ operations that would adversely affect the Company’s ability to obtain an unqualified audit opinion on its audited financial statements. As at June 30, 2025, the percentages of the Company’s cryptocurrency assets held by Fireblocks and Bank Frick were approximately 99% and 1%, respectively. As at March 31, 2025, the quantity and dollar value of the Company’s Bitcoin cryptocurrency assets (which compose over 99% of the Company’s entire digital currency assets) were 2,201 Bitcoin, with a market value of approximately US$181 million.

The Company has conducted due diligence on its Custodians and has not identified any material concerns. It routinely reviews and verifies its asset balances on public blockchain explorers. In order to monitor Fireblocks, the Custodian at which the large majority of the Company’s Bitcoin assets are held, the Company relies on system and organization controls provided by a SOC 2 Type II report, undertaken by an independent audit firm. Management of the Company is not aware of any security breaches or other similar incidents involving either of the Custodians which resulted in lost or stolen cryptocurrency assets. In the event of an insolvency or bankruptcy of the Custodians, the Company would write off as losses any unrecoverable cryptocurrency assets.

The Company has chosen to continue to use Bank Frick as one of its custodians due to its track record in the industry. Bank Frick has acted as custodian for the Company since its early stages and was one of the few institutions that readily accepted cryptocurrency companies in Europe after changes in Switzerland greatly limited banks from operating in the cryptocurrency industry. In addition, Bank Frick permits the Company to maintain accounts in both fiat currency as well as cryptocurrency, and consequently, upon sales of cryptocurrency, the proceeds can be deposited into one of the Company’s accounts with Bank Frick which is denominated in US dollars.

Fireblocks was chosen as the Company’s second and primary custodian after they had announced in December 2019 that they had completed an examination and received a SOC 2 Type II certification. In general, a SOC 2 Type II certification is issued by an outside auditor and evaluates the extent to which a vendor complies with five trust principles based on the systems and processes in place. These five principles include the following (collectively, the “Trust Services Criteria”):

“Security”, which addresses the safeguarding of system resources and assets against unauthorized access;
“Availability”, which addresses the accessibility of the system as stipulated by the applicable service agreement between vendor and customer;
“Processing Integrity”, which addresses whether or not a system achieves its purpose;
“Confidentiality”, which addresses whether access and disclosure of data is restricted to a specified set of persons or organizations; and
“Privacy”, which addresses the system’s collection, use, retention, disclosure and disposal of personal information in conformity with an organization’s privacy notice.

¹ HIVE owns all of the wallets in which its cryptocurrency assets deposited with Fireblocks are held. Fireblocks does not directly hold any of the Company’s cryptocurrency inventory. Fireblocks stores two of the Company’s three key shares on servers located in the United States and operated by Microsoft Azure, a cloud computing service operated by Microsoft Corporation, and International Business Machines Corporation; the Company maintains the third key share in the secure enclave of authorized user’s mobile devices. All three key shares are required in order to execute a transfer of cryptocurrency from the secure storage wallet.

The most recent SOC 2 Type II certification received by Fireblocks was based on an examination of its platform for the period from September 1, 2023 to August 31, 2024 (the “2024 SOC 2 Report”). The 2024 SOC 2 Report concluded that the controls implemented by Fireblocks were suitably designed to meet Fireblocks’ service commitments and system requirements based on the applicable Trust Services Criteria. As a result of their nature however, the controls implemented by a service organization such as Fireblocks may not always operate effectively or continue to meet the applicable Trust Services Criteria. It is impossible to predict the future applicability of any evaluation regarding the suitability of design or operating effectiveness of the controls used by Fireblocks, as these are subject to the risk that the systems or controls used may change or become ineffective. Additionally, the conclusion of the 2024 SOC 2 Report is based on the assumption that the controls in place were effectively applied by user entities and any subservice organizations engaged by Fireblocks, which may not always be the case.

As of the date hereof, the Company’s only material custodian is Fireblocks. The Company relies primarily on Fireblocks as it compiles documented controls that can be provided to the Company, such as the SOC 2 Type II certification, which are viewed as instrumental in providing verification to third parties that appropriate controls have been put in place.

Fireblocks is a wallet infrastructure provider and a digital asset security firm which was backed in its early stages by the investment arm of Fidelity International Ltd. Fireblocks utilizes multi-party computation technology to secure private keys to assist its customers to securely self-custody and transfer cryptocurrency assets among counterparties, and consequently, does not directly hold the Company’s cryptocurrency inventory. Fireblocks stores two of the Company’s three key shares on servers located in the United States and operated by Microsoft Azure, a cloud computing service operated by Microsoft Corporation, and International Business Machines Corporation; the Company maintains the third key share in the secure enclave of authorized user’s mobile devices. All three key shares are required in order to execute a transfer of cryptocurrency from the secure storage wallet.

As at June 30, 2025, the Company had elected to maintain 99% of its cryptocurrency with Fireblocks primarily due to the comfort provided by the SOC 2 Type II certification undertaken by an independent audit firm, and for which Fireblocks undergoes a review on an annual basis. Such reports are not applicable to Bank Frick or other large cryptocurrency custodians at this time. The Company reviews the SOC 2 Type II report to ensure it maintains a secure technology infrastructure and the security systems designed to safeguard cryptocurrency assets are operating effectively. To date, the Company has not identified any material concerns based on its review of the SOC 2 Type II report.

Fireblocks also maintains an insurance policy which covers technology, cyber, and professional liability, and has received an “A” rating by A.M. Best based on the strength of the policy. The Company is not aware of any security breaches or incidents involving Fireblocks, or of any other limitations on Fireblocks’s insurance.

The Company further believes that the SOC 2 Type II certification better addresses the commentary of the Canadian Public Accountancy Board and the Canadian Securities Administrators’ continuing review and guidance in respect of custodial controls and security of cryptocurrency assets.

The Company has not been able to insure its mined digital currency, nor do either of the Custodians maintain any insurance over the cryptocurrency assets they hold, as of the date hereof. The Company views the risk of loss or theft as low, as its assets are maintained in secure storage with its Custodians. Given the novelty of digital currency mining and associated businesses, insurance of this nature is generally unavailable, or uneconomical for the Company to obtain which leads to the risk of inadequate insurance coverage. Further information regarding the Company and its business is set out in the 2025 AIF and 2025 MD&A, all of which are incorporated by reference herein.

Disaster Recovery Procedures

Fireblocks use a “multi-party computation” approach to their wallet architecture which means the private key to their workspace is created in multiple parts (called key shares) and is never combined as a whole, neither during the first creation of the wallet nor during the actual signature of a transaction. Fireblocks hold two shards in their cloud infrastructure and a customer shard is stored within the customer’s mobile signing device. Coincover works with Fireblocks on behalf of the customer to securely store backups of the key shares, encrypted in a way that permits only the customer to fully decrypt the shards and reconstitute their private key.

Fireblocks License Agreement

The commercial relationship between the Company and Fireblocks is governed by a license agreement entered into on September 28, 2020 (the “Fireblocks License Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Fireblocks License Agreement, the Company is entitled to a non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable license to access the custodial services provided by Fireblocks. Specifically, these services include a cryptocurrency wallet that stores private and public keys, interacts with various blockchains and enables the Company to monitor its balances of assets, as well as a number of optional services the Company may opt in to from time to time. A full list of the optional services can be found in Appendix A of the Fireblocks License Agreement which has been posted to the Company’s SEDAR+ profile. The Fireblocks License Agreement has been renewed with the current agreement expiring on September 28, 2025.

Either the Company or Fireblocks may terminate the Fireblocks License Agreement at any time by giving written notice if the other party is in breach or default of any material provision, and fails to cure the breach or default within thirty (30) days after being given such notice. If the Company does not pay two consecutive monthly invoices, Fireblocks may suspend, block and/or restrict the Company’s access to the system upon providing ten (10) days prior notice of such suspension or termination to the Company.

Coincover

In January, 2023, the Company and Fireblocks entered into a Letter Agreement for the provision of additional services contemplating disaster recovery procedures through Digital Asset Services Ltd (trading as “Coincover”), a third-party provider. The Company has implemented these services provided by Coincover, effective February 10, 2023.

Coincover uses secure Amazon Web Services enterprise storage solutions to store the encrypted backup shards provided by Fireblocks (the recovery package). Coincover also stores, in offline vaults, the RSA private key used in the decryption of the recovery package. These are stored offline in secure facilities on certified FIPS 140-2 Level 3 devices (tamper proof, hardware encrypted).

There are multiple locations, geographically separated for redundancy. All devices are tested on a regularly basis at a minimum quarterly. Coincover employs a strict confidentiality policy around the process, locations and personnel. Duties are segregated ensuring that multiple approved personnel are required to complete a recovery.

Offering of HPC Services

In the 2024 financial year, the Company commenced an expansion into the high-performance computing (“HPC”) space through the conversion of certain graphics processing units (“GPU”) cards into an on-demand GPU cloud service for companies operating in the AI industry. This cloud service allows users to access a virtual instance of single or multiple GPUs, in order to provide an array of computing power. The Company’s primary aim at this time is to provide HPC services to small and medium-sized AI businesses with an efficient and cost-effective alternative with substantial savings from the major cloud service providers. Although the Company has been able to generate revenue in previous financial quarters, there is no assurance that it will achieve profitability in the future, whether due to a lack of customer acceptance, technological challenges, competing products, weakening economic conditions, increased regulatory costs or other factors, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s overall business, operations and financial results. See the 2025 AIF under the headings “GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS – Three Year History – Fiscal 2024 – Growth of HPC Business using GPU compute for AI revenues” and “GENERAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE BUSINESS – Three Year History – Fiscal 2025 – HPC Hosting and Expansion”.

2024 Bitcoin Halving

Impact of the 2024 Bitcoin Halving

On April 20, 2024, the block reward on the Bitcoin blockchain was automatically reduced from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC (the “2024 Bitcoin Halving”). All things being equal, this has decreased the amount of Bitcoin a Miner earns for the same amount of computational effort, which could lead to reduced revenue unless it is offset by at least the following factors: (i) a rise in Bitcoin's price; (ii) a decrease in the Bitcoin network “difficulty” (“Difficulty”); and (iii) an increase in network transaction fees.

Increased usage of the Bitcoin network could result in higher transaction fees, which miners earn in addition to block rewards; this could partially offset the reduced block rewards. Reduced revenue from mining could decrease HIVE's operating cash flow.

HIVE generated 449, 340, 322 and 303 bitcoins respectively in the quarters ended June 30, 2024, September 30, 2024, December 31, 2024, and March 31, 2025 compared to 658 Bitcoin in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, which management attributes primarily to the 2024 Bitcoin Halving and increased Difficulty. The Company prepared for this Halving by upgrading its ASIC miners in the months leading up to and after the Halving, contributing to the positive results reported post the 2024 Bitcoin Halving. For the 90 days immediately preceding April 20, 2024 (being the date of the 2024 Bitcoin Halving), the Bitcoin network had an average Difficulty of approximately 80.1 trillion and an average price of approximately US$58,566; for the 90 days immediately following April 20, 2024, the Bitcoin

network had an average Difficulty of approximately 83.8 trillion and an average price of approximately US$64,301.²

Potential Impact of the 2028 Bitcoin Halving on the Company's Strategy and Financial Performance

Another Bitcoin halving is scheduled to occur in 2028, which will further reduce block rewards to 1.5625 BTC. As was the case for the 2024 Bitcoin Halving, HIVE’s financial performance will heavily depend on the prevailing Bitcoin market price, Difficulty, and transaction fees. All other things being equal, upon the 2028 Bitcoin Halving, Bitcoin price appreciation or a rise in transaction fees would be necessary to maintain or improve revenue levels. However, in the event that the Bitcoin price increases, it is expected that Difficulty will also increase, which would negatively impact revenues. The mining of Bitcoin is subject to very low barriers to entry. Bitcoin mining machines are readily available to both large-scale commercial operations and individual purchasers. Operators need only monitor the prevailing Bitcoin price, network Difficulty, and their cost of energy (plus the fixed cost of hardware) in order to determine whether it is profitable to conduct mining operations, all tasks which are easily automated. Consequently, the Company anticipates that the industry will be subject to continued fierce competition.

By 2028, HIVE is planning to diversify its operations into industry segments other than cryptocurrency mining in order to mitigate some of the risks associated with the 2028 Bitcoin Halving. This could include direct and/or indirect investment into HPC and AI computing and offering traditional data center services.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the Company’s securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk due to the nature of the Company’s business and the present stage of its development. The following risk factors, as well as risks currently unknown to us, could materially and adversely affect the Company’s future business, operations and financial condition and could cause them to differ materially from the estimates described in forward-looking statements relating to the Company, or its business or financial results, each of which could cause purchasers of the Company’s securities to lose part or all of their investment. The risks set out below are not the only risks we face; risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. You should also refer to the risk factors and other information set forth or incorporated by reference in this prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement, including the Company’s 2025 AIF and the 2025 MD&A and annual financial statements, and the related notes. A prospective investor should carefully consider the risk factors set out below along with the other matters set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Discussions of certain risks affecting the Company in connection with the Company’s business are provided in our annual and interim disclosure documents filed with the various securities regulatory authorities which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

Risks Related to the Offering of Securities

Discretion over use of proceeds

The Company intends to allocate the net proceeds it will receive from an offering as described under “USE OF PROCEEDS” in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement; however, the Company will have discretion in the actual application of the net proceeds. The Company may elect to allocate the net proceeds differently from that described in “USE OF PROCEEDS” in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement if the Company believes it would be in the Company’s best interests to do so. The Company’s investors may not agree with the manner in which the Company chooses to allocate and spend the net proceeds from an offering. The failure by the Company to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on the business of the Company.

Absence of a public market for certain of the securities

There is no public market for the debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, securities purchase contracts or units and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Company does not currently intend to apply for listing of the debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, securities purchase contracts or units on any securities exchanges. If the debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, securities purchase contracts or units are traded after their initial issuance, they may trade at a discount from their initial offering prices depending on prevailing interest rates (as applicable), the market for similar securities and other factors, including general economic conditions and the Company’s financial condition. There can be no assurance as to the liquidity of the trading market for the debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts, share purchase contracts or units, or that a trading market for these securities will develop at all.

Unsecured debt securities

The Company carries on its business through corporate subsidiaries, and the majority of its assets are held in corporate subsidiaries. The Company’s results of operations and ability to service indebtedness, including the debt securities, are dependent upon the results of operations of these subsidiaries and the payment of funds by these subsidiaries to the Company in the form of loans, dividends or otherwise. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Company’s subsidiaries will not have an obligation to pay amounts due pursuant to any debt securities or to make any funds available for payment on debt securities, whether by dividends, interest, loans, advances or other payments. In addition, the payment of dividends and the making of loans, advances and other payments to the Company by its subsidiaries may be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indenture governing the Company’s debt securities is not expected to limit the Company’s ability or the ability of its subsidiaries to incur indebtedness. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, such indebtedness of the Company’s subsidiaries would be structurally senior to the debt securities. As such, in the event of the liquidation of any subsidiary, the assets of the subsidiary would be used first to repay the obligations of the subsidiary, including indebtedness and trade payables, prior to being used by the Company to pay its indebtedness, including any debt securities. See “Description of Debt Securities”.

Effect of changes in interest rates on debt securities

Prevailing interest rates will affect the market price or value of any debt securities. The market price or value of any debt securities may decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments rise, and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline.

Effect of fluctuations in foreign currency markets on debt securities

Debt securities denominated or payable in foreign currencies may entail significant risk. These risks include, without limitation, the possibility of significant fluctuations in the foreign currency markets, the imposition or modification of foreign exchange controls and potential liquidity restrictions in the secondary market. These risks will vary depending upon the currency or currencies involved and will be more fully described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Trading price of Common Shares and volatility

In recent years, the securities markets in the United States and Canada have experienced a high level of price and volume volatility, and the market prices of securities of many companies have experienced wide fluctuations in price that have not necessarily been related to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such companies. There can be no assurance that continual fluctuations in price will not occur, and the trading price of the Company’s shares may be subject to large fluctuations and may decline below the price at which an investor acquired its shares. The trading price may increase or decrease in response to a number of events and factors, which may not be within the Company’s control nor be a reflection of the Company’s actual operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects. Accordingly, investors may not be able to sell their securities at or above their acquisition cost.

Forward looking statements

Some statements contained in this prospectus are not historical facts, but rather are forward looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements will prove to be accurate as actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such statements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, such risks and uncertainties include interpretation of results, accidents, equipment breakdowns, labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties with or interruptions in production, delays in development activities, political risks, the inherent uncertainty or production fluctuations and failure to obtain adequate financing on a timely basis.

USE OF PROCEEDS

Unless we otherwise indicate in a prospectus supplement relating to a particular offering, we currently intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our securities for general corporate and working capital requirements, including to fund ongoing operations and/or working capital requirements, the equipping of our Paraguayan facilities, repayment of indebtedness outstanding from time to time, future acquisitions, including procuring cryptocurrency mining equipment and acquiring or expanding facilities to operate the servers and computer equipment, or other corporate purposes as set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the offering of the securities.

We have set milestones in terms of growth which we intend to achieve in the coming years, which includes our intention to expand our HPC business unit. This expansion will require capital expenditures such as high-performance server racks in addition to any custom infrastructure which may be required to provide services to prospective customers.

Our core business includes sourcing clean energy to sell computational power for Bitcoin mining. We regularly review opportunities, which may include opportunities to procure sites that have been partially constructed with additional capacity that may be developed as an expansion project, for which funding for the construction cost would be required.

More detailed information regarding the use of proceeds from the sale of securities, including any determinable milestones at the applicable time, will be described in a prospectus supplement. We may also, from time to time, issue securities otherwise than pursuant to a prospectus supplement to this prospectus. All expenses relating to an offering of securities and any compensation paid to underwriters, dealers or agents, as the case may be, will be paid out of the proceeds from the sale of such securities, unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement.

During the financial year ended March 31, 2025, the Company had positive annual cash flow from operations. However, the Company expects cash flow from operations to potentially be unstable until the level of activity in its respective relevant business areas increases sufficiently. The Company's cash flow from operations may be affected in the future by the investment it is making to continue to develop its products and services. In the event that the Company experiences negative operating cash flow, among other things: (i) the Company may reduce expenses, or (ii) the Company may sell some of its assets to generate sufficient cash to meet its obligations as they come due. If necessary, the proceeds from the sale of securities may be used to offset any such negative operating cash flow.

In addition, the operations of the Company may be adversely impacted by pandemics and the Company may exercise its discretion in the use of proceeds. In particular, previous pandemics have reduced the availability of and affected the timing of delivery of mining equipment. It has also reduced the mobility of the Company's technical personnel and access to the Company's data centers. Further, when mining equipment does become available, the Company anticipates that it may be subject to increased equipment costs and increased shipping costs, in each case attributable to supply chain disruption caused by pandemics. See "RISK FACTORS – Risks Related to the Offering of Securities – Discretion over use of proceeds."

Business Objectives and Milestones

The Company's business objectives are to increase shareholder value and continue its operations as one of the globally diversified publicly traded data center companies with a focus on the development of data centers, the generation of Hashpower and HPC, primarily powered by green energy. The Company's expectations are based on significant assumptions and are subject to significant risks. "CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS" and "RISK FACTORS".

The following are the milestones set out by the Company as of the date hereof:

100 MW facility in Valenzuela, Paraguay. The Company intends to complete the construction of a 100 MW facility located in Valenzuela, Paraguay at an expected cost of approximately US$40 million. On December 2, 2024, the Company announced the purchase of 13,480 S21+ Plus Hydro ASICs, with an option to purchase an additional 13,480 S21+ Plus Hydro ASICs within one year. Under the terms of the purchase agreement, the Company may pay for the additional 13,480 S21+ Pro Hydro ASICs in Bitcoin, with the option to redeem the Bitcoin for cash in up to four quarterly installments at the fixed Bitcoin price determined at the time the Bitcoin was originally tendered. After the acquisition of the facility in Yguazu, Paraguay was completed, the energization date for the Valenzuela Facility was revised to late August 2025 in order to allow both phases of construction and deployment at the Yguazu facility to be completed prior. Upon full completion, the Valenzuela facility is expected to contribute an estimated 6.5 EH/s. This expansion is also expected to enhance fleet-wide energy efficiency to approximately 17.5 joules per terahash (J/TH). As of June 30, 2025, approximately US$30 million has been incurred in connection with the Valenzuela facility, with additional expenditures of approximately US$9 million anticipated to be required to complete the facility.
Yguazu Facility Build-out. The Company intends to complete the construction and build-out of a 200 MW which will compose the Yguazu Facility. The project has two phases. The first phase, the completion and build-out of 100MW of infrastructure, has been completed as of April 2025. As of the date hereof, the Yguazu Facility is in operation and the 240 MVA 220/23 kV substation has been fully and successfully energized. The initial phase, consisting of 100 MW of air-cooled ASIC miners is complete, adding approximately 5.0 EH/s to the Company's installed hashrate. The first phase of the acquisition was purchased from Bitfarms for total consideration consisting of US$25 million paid at closing and US$31 million payable in six equal monthly installments. In addition, approximately US$7.5 million of other payments were due subsequent to closing, all of which have been paid. As of June 30, 2025, three of the six installment payments have been made.

The second phase is composed of the completion and build-out of an additional 100 MW of infrastructure. As of the date hereof, HIVE is currently in the process of ramping up this infrastructure. HIVE intends to install Bitmain Hydro AntSpace infrastructure and S21+ Hydro ASIC miners to utilize the 100 MW of capacity created by the construction of the second phase. Upon full deployment, the Company expects the second phase buildout to contribute an additional 6.5 EH/s, bringing the Company's total installed hashrate to approximately 18 EH/s by August 2025. In addition, this expansion is anticipated to improve fleet-wide energy efficiency to approximately 18.5 joules per terahash (J/TH). The cost total for the second phase is expected to be approximately US$11 million, of which approximately US$9.5 million has been paid to date.

Fleet Upgrade. The Company undergoes continual upgrade of its fleet of equipment by making strategic purchases to replace the least efficient ASIC miners with new generation equipment. Since October 1, 2024, the Company has installed over 7,000 ASIC Miners to replace less efficient units. The Company will continue to upgrade its fleet as part of its fleet upgrade strategy. As announced on November 10, 2024, and November 20, 2024, the Company has ordered an additional 11,500 Canaan A1566 ASIC Miners with 185 TH/s each and 18.5 J/TH efficiency. The cost for the 11,500 Canaan A1566 Miners is approximately US$23.5 million. The Company anticipates expending approximately US$30 million on fleet upgrade costs in the next twelve months, based on an average cost of approximately US$2.5 million per month over the twelve previous months as of the date hereof.

HPC Expansion. The Company previously expressed its intent to expand its HPC line of operations by a factor of 10, which meant that the approximately 450 GPUs which were operating in the Company's beta test in early calendar year 2023 would be expanded to 4,800 GPUs operating in the HPC business unit. The Company notes that it had successfully installed 4,800 Nvidia A-series GPUs in Tier 3 data centers (comprised of A40, A6000, A5000 and A4000 cards) operating in SuperMicro servers, additionally the Company has 96 Nvidia H100 GPUs operating in Dell servers. The Company currently operates approximately 4,000 Nvidia A-series GPUs (previously 4,650) since the Company found optimal configuration for certain AI application to have 8 GPUs per server for the Nvidia A40, instead of 10 GPUs per server. Overall, the Company still has 480 Supermicro Servers operating a total of 4,000 GPUs in Tier 3 data centers in Montreal and Stockholm. The Company has found growing demand for the A40 GPU, and thus the majority of the 480 SuperMicro servers now run 8 Nvidia A40 GPUs, whereas if the Nvidia A5000 and A4000 GPUs were installed, then 10 GPUs would operate in each server. For the year ended March 31, 2025 the Company realized a revenue of $10.0 million, with its new Nvidia H100 cluster operation in Québec. The Company has achieved its interim target of $10 million annual recurring revenue ("ARR"), and now maintains a $20 million ARR target for calendar H1 2025 with future expansions of GPUs for HPC computing. Since the Company uses a business-to-business model, it does not control the customer engagement and marketing of the marketplace platforms where the GPUs are rented, there can be fluctuations in the demand outside of the Company's control. There are fixed costs associated with operating in a Tier 3 data center, and as such the operating margins can also vary if revenue drops, with certain fixed costs in place.

Over the next 36 months, the Company anticipates significant capital expenditures associated with expansion of its HPC business operations, totaling approximately $361 million. This includes early-stage allocation of investments of: (i) approximately $61 million in strategic land acquisitions for data center expansion; (ii) approximately $150 million in infrastructure buildout costs; and (iii) approximately $150 for GPU acquisitions to support high-performance computing and AI workloads. These investments reflect our commitment to scaling our HPC capabilities and positioning the business for long-term growth. There can be no guarantee that the Company is able to acquire suitable data centre locations and develop them in accordance with the costs discussed in this milestone; although the Company intends to allocate the proceeds from financings under this Prospectus towards this milestone, it may elect to allocate the proceeds differently if it believes it would be in the Company's best interests to do so. See "Risk Factors - Risks Related to the Offering of Securities - Discretion over use of proceeds".

Aggregate Mining Capacity. In the January 2022 Prospectus, the Company disclosed that it was targeting a mining capacity of 10.0 EH/s by the end of the calendar 2022 year at an aggregate cost of $500 million. The Company achieved mining capacity of 5.0 EH/s in April 2024 at an aggregate cost of $107 million, and the Company's mining capacity as of June 30, 2025 is a hashrate of 11.3 EH/s, as a result of the delivery and installation of the AISC miners from the June 2024 Order and the November 2024 Order. The Company disclosed in its prospectus supplement dated October 3, 2024, to its final short form base shelf prospectus dated September 11, 2024 that it intended to increase its global installed hashrate from 5.5 EH/s to 12.1 EH/s once the 100 MW facility in Paraguay is completed. The Company has revised its target to 25 EH/s of Bitcoin cloud mining capacity by December 31, 2025, from the existing target of 6 EH/s. The Company expects that it will be able to achieve its revised target of 25 EH/s by US Thanksgiving 2025. The Company anticipates that it will cost approximately an additional $351 million to achieve this target, composed of $257 million for ASIC miners and $94 million for construction of the facility. To date, the Company has spent $57 million for the site acquisition and completion of construction works, and $196 million for the acquisition of ASIC miners.

The following description of the terms of debt securities sets forth certain general terms and provisions of debt securities in respect of which a prospectus supplement may be filed. The particular terms and provisions of debt securities offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply thereto, will be described in the prospectus supplement filed in respect of such debt securities.

The debt securities will be issued under one or more indentures (each, a "Trust Indenture"), in each case between the Company and a financial institution or trust company organized under the laws of Canada or any province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee (each, a "Trustee").

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities and is not intended to be complete.

whether the Company will be obligated to redeem or repurchase the debt securities pursuant to any sinking or purchase fund or other provisions, or at the option of a holder, and the terms and conditions of such redemption;

the denominations in which the Company will issue any registered and unregistered debt securities;

if applicable, the ability of the Company to satisfy all or a portion of any redemption of the debt securities, any payment of any interest on such debt securities or any repayment of the principal owing upon the maturity of such debt securities through the issuance of securities of the Company or of any other entity, and any restriction(s) on the persons to whom such securities may be issued;

The Company reserves the right to include in a prospectus supplement specific terms pertaining to the debt securities which are not within the options and parameters set forth in this prospectus. In addition, to the extent that any particular terms of the debt securities described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described in this prospectus, the description of such terms set forth in this prospectus shall be deemed to have been superseded by the description of such differing terms set forth in such prospectus supplement with respect to such debt securities.

Unless stated otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, no holder of debt securities will have the right to require the Company to repurchase the debt securities and there will be no increase in the interest rate if the Company becomes involved in a highly leveraged transaction or has a change of control.

The Company may issue debt securities bearing no interest or interest at a rate below the prevailing market rate at the time of issuance, and offer and sell these securities at a discount below their stated principal amount. The Company may also sell any of the debt securities for a foreign currency or currency unit, and payments on the debt securities may be payable in a foreign currency or currency unit. In any of these cases, the Company will describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences and other special considerations in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Company may issue debt securities with terms different from those of debt securities previously issued and, without the consent of the holders thereof, reopen a previous issue of a series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of such series.

Original purchasers of debt securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for other securities of the Company will be granted a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the purchase and conversion or exchange of such debt security. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid on original purchase of the debt security and the amount paid upon conversion or exchange, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion or exchange takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible or exchangeable security under this prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible or exchangeable security under this prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

Ranking and Other Indebtedness

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be direct unsecured obligations of the Company. The debt securities will be senior or subordinated indebtedness of the Company as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. If the debt securities are senior indebtedness, they will rank equally and rateably with all other unsecured indebtedness of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding which is not subordinated. If the debt securities are subordinated indebtedness, they will be subordinated to senior indebtedness of the Company as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, and they will rank equally and rateably with other subordinated indebtedness of the Company from time to time issued and outstanding as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The Company reserves the right to specify in a prospectus supplement whether a particular series of subordinated debt securities is subordinated to any other series of subordinated debt securities.

The board may establish the extent and manner, if any, to which payment on or in respect of a series of debt securities will be senior or will be subordinated to the prior payment of the Company's other liabilities and obligations and whether the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, will be guaranteed and the nature and priority of any security.

Registration of Debt Securities

Debt Securities in Book Entry Form

Unless otherwise indicated in an applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities of any series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global securities ("Global Security" or "Global Securities") registered in the name of a designated clearing agency (a "Depository") or its nominee and held by or on behalf of the Depository in accordance with the terms of the applicable Trust Indenture. The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a series of debt securities to be represented by a Global Security will, to the extent not described herein, be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series. The Company anticipates that the provisions described in this section will apply to all depositary arrangements.

Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary or its nominee will credit, in its book-entry and registration system, the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the Global Security to the accounts of such participants that have accounts with the Depositary or its nominee (“Participants”). Such accounts are typically designated by the underwriters, dealers or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities or by the Company if such debt securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to Participants or persons that may hold beneficial interests through Participants. With respect to the interests of Participants, ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through records maintained by the Depositary or its nominee. With respect to the interests of persons other than Participants, ownership of beneficial interests in a Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through records maintained by Participants or persons that hold through Participants.

So long as the Depositary for a Global Security, or its nominee, is the registered owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the applicable Trust Indenture and payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities represented by a Global Security will be made by the Company to the Depositary or its nominee. The Company expects that the Depositary or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest, if any, will credit Participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Security as shown on the records of such Depositary or its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by Participants to owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security held through such Participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such Participants.

Conveyance of notices and other communications by the Depositary to direct Participants, by direct Participants to indirect Participants and by direct and indirect Participants to beneficial owners will be governed by arrangements among them, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Beneficial owners of debt securities may wish to take certain steps to augment transmission to them of notices of significant events with respect to the debt securities, such as redemptions, tenders, defaults and proposed amendments to the Trust Indenture.

Owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of such debt securities in certificated non-book-entry form, and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the applicable Trust Indenture, and the ability of a holder to pledge a debt security or otherwise take action with respect to such holder’s interest in a debt security (other than through a Participant) may be limited due to the lack of a physical certificate.

No Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for debt securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or any nominee of such Depositary unless: (i) the Depositary is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as Depositary and the Company is unable to locate a qualified successor; (ii) the Company at its option elects, or is required by law, to terminate the book-entry system through the Depositary or the book-entry system ceases to exist; or (iii) if provided for in the Trust Indenture, after the occurrence of an event of default thereunder (provided the Trustee has not waived the event of default in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture), Participants acting on behalf of beneficial holders representing, in aggregate, a threshold percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the debt securities then outstanding advise the Depositary in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through the Depositary is no longer in their best interest.

If one of the foregoing events occurs, such Global Security shall be exchanged for certificated non-book-entry debt securities of the same series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security and registered in such names and denominations as the Depositary may direct.

The Company, any underwriters, dealers or agents and any Trustee identified in an accompanying prospectus supplement, as applicable, will not have any liability or responsibility for (i) records maintained by the Depositary relating to beneficial ownership interests in the debt securities held by the Depositary or the book-entry accounts maintained by the Depositary, (ii) maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to any such beneficial ownership interests, or (iii) any advice or representation made by or with respect to the Depositary and contained in this prospectus or in any prospectus supplement or Trust Indenture with respect to the rules and regulations of the Depositary or at the direction of Participants.

Unless otherwise stated in the applicable prospectus supplement, CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or its successor will act as Depositary for any debt securities represented by a Global Security.

Debt Securities in Certified Form

A series of the debt securities may be issued in definitive form, solely as registered securities, solely as unregistered securities or as both registered securities and unregistered securities. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities will have interest coupons attached.

In the event that the debt securities are issued in certified non-book-entry form, and unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities (other than a Global Security) will be made at the office or agency of the Trustee or, at the option of the Company, by the Company by way of cheque mailed or delivered to the address of the person entitled at the address appearing in the security register of the Trustee or electronic funds wire or other transmission to an account of the person entitled to receive such payments. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, payment of interest, if any, will be made to the persons in whose name the debt securities are registered at the close of business on the day or days specified by the Company.

At the option of the holder of debt securities, registered securities of any series will be exchangeable for other registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. If, but only if, provided in an applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities (with all unmatured coupons, except as provided below, and all matured coupons in default) of any series may be exchanged for registered securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor. In such event, unregistered securities surrendered in a permitted exchange for registered securities between a regular record date or a special record date and the relevant date for payment of interest shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such date for payment of interest, and interest will not be payable on such date for payment of interest in respect of the registered security issued in exchange for such unregistered security, but will be payable only to the holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the terms of the Trust Indenture. Unless otherwise specified in an applicable prospectus supplement, unregistered securities will not be issued in exchange for registered securities.

The applicable prospectus supplement may indicate the places to register a transfer of the debt securities in definitive form. Except for certain restrictions to be set forth in the Trust Indenture, no service charge will be payable by the holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of the debt securities in definitive form, but the Company may, in certain instances, require a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection with these transactions.

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

General

This section describes the general terms that will apply to any warrants for the purchase of Common Shares, or equity warrants, or for the purchase of debt securities, or debt warrants.

We may issue warrants independently or together with other securities, and warrants sold with other securities may be attached to or separate from the other securities. Warrants will be issued under one or more warrant agency agreements to be entered into by us and one or more banks or trust companies acting as warrant agent.

The Company will deliver an undertaking to the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, that it will not distribute warrants that, according to their terms as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, are “novel” specified derivatives within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, separately to any member of the public in Canada, unless such prospectus supplement containing the specific terms of the warrants to be distributed separately is first approved by or on behalf of the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada where the warrants will be distributed.

This summary of some of the provisions of the warrants is not complete. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any warrant agreement and warrants to be issued under this prospectus are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable warrant agreement. You should refer to the warrant indenture or warrant agency agreement relating to the specific warrants being offered for the complete terms of the warrants. A copy of any warrant indenture or warrant agency agreement relating to an offering or warrants will be filed by the Company with the securities regulatory authorities in the applicable Canadian offering jurisdictions after we have entered into it, and will be available electronically on SEDAR at www.sedarplus.ca.

The applicable prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we offer will describe the particular terms of those warrants and include specific terms relating to the offering.

Original purchasers of warrants (if offered separately) will have a contractual right of rescission against us in respect of the exercise of such warrant. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive, upon surrender of the underlying securities acquired upon exercise of the warrant, the total of the amount paid on original purchase of the warrant and the amount paid upon exercise, in the event that this prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the warrant under the applicable prospectus supplement; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of purchase of the warrant under the applicable prospectus supplement. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

In an offering of warrants, or other convertible securities, original purchasers are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the warrants, or other convertible securities, are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces or territories. The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.

Each Escrow Agent will be a financial institution organized under the laws of Canada or a province thereof and authorized to carry on business as a trustee. If underwriters, dealers, or agents are used in the sale of any subscription receipts, one or more of such underwriters or agents may also be a party to the Subscription Receipt Agreement governing the subscription receipts sold to or through such underwriter or agent.

The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of subscription receipts that may be issued hereunder and is not intended to be complete. The statements made in this prospectus relating to any Subscription Receipt Agreement and subscription receipts to be issued thereunder are summaries of certain anticipated provisions thereof and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to, all provisions of the applicable Subscription Receipt Agreement. Prospective investors should refer to the Subscription Receipt Agreement relating to the specific subscription receipts being offered for the complete terms of the subscription receipts. We will file a copy of any Subscription Receipt Agreement relating to an offering of subscription receipts with the applicable securities regulatory authorities in Canada after it has been entered into it.

General

The prospectus supplement and the Subscription Receipt Agreement for any subscription receipts that we may offer will describe the specific terms of the subscription receipts offered. This description may include, but may not be limited to, any of the following, if applicable:

the designation and aggregate number of subscription receipts being offered;

the price at which the subscription receipts will be offered;
the designation, number and terms of the Common Shares, warrants and/or debt securities to be received by the holders of subscription receipts upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions, and any procedures that will result in the adjustment of those numbers;
the Release Conditions that must be met in order for holders of subscription receipts to receive, for no additional consideration, the Common Shares, warrants and/or debt securities;
the procedures for the issuance and delivery of the Common Shares, warrants and/or debt securities to holders of subscription receipts upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions;
whether any payments will be made to holders of subscription receipts upon delivery of the Common Shares, warrants and/or debt securities upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions;
the identity of the Escrow Agent;
the terms and conditions under which the Escrow Agent will hold all or a portion of the gross proceeds from the sale of subscription receipts, together with interest and income earned thereon (collectively, the "Escrowed Funds"), pending satisfaction of the Release Conditions;
the terms and conditions pursuant to which the Escrow Agent will hold the Common Shares, warrants and/or debt securities pending satisfaction of the Release Conditions;
the terms and conditions under which the Escrow Agent will release all or a portion of the Escrowed Funds to the Company upon satisfaction of the Release Conditions;
if the subscription receipts are sold to or through underwriters or agents, the terms and conditions under which the Escrow Agent will release a portion of the Escrowed Funds to such underwriters or agents in payment of all or a portion of their fees or commissions in connection with the sale of the subscription receipts;
procedures for the refund by the Escrow Agent to holders of subscription receipts of all or a portion of the subscription price of their subscription receipts, plus any pro rata entitlement to interest earned or income generated on such amount, if the Release Conditions are not satisfied;
any contractual right of rescission to be granted to initial purchasers of subscription receipts in the event that this prospectus, the prospectus supplement under which such subscription receipts are issued or any amendment hereto or thereto contains a misrepresentation;
any entitlement of HIVE to purchase the subscription receipts in the open market by private agreement or otherwise;
whether we will issue the subscription receipts as Global Securities and, if so, the identity of the Depositary for the Global Securities;
whether we will issue the subscription receipts as unregistered bearer securities, as registered securities or both;
provisions as to modification, amendment or variation of the Subscription Receipt Agreement or any rights or terms of the subscription receipts, including upon any subdivision, consolidation, reclassification or other material change of the Common Shares, warrants or other HIVE securities, any other reorganization, amalgamation, merger or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets or any distribution of property or rights to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Shares;
whether we will apply to list the subscription receipts on any exchange;

material Canadian federal income tax consequences of owning the subscription receipts; and
any other material terms or conditions of the subscription receipts.

Original purchasers of subscription receipts will have a contractual right of rescission against us in respect of the conversion of the subscription receipts. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid on original purchase of the subscription receipts upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the subscription receipts under this prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of purchase of the subscription receipts under this prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

Rights of Holders of Subscription Receipts Prior to Satisfaction of Release Conditions

The holders of subscription receipts will not be, and will not have the rights of, Shareholders. Holders of subscription receipts are entitled only to receive Common Shares, warrants and/or debt securities on exchange of their subscription receipts, plus any cash payments, if any, all as provided for under the Subscription Receipt Agreement and only once the Release Conditions have been satisfied. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, holders of subscription receipts shall be entitled to a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price therefor and their pro rata share of interest earned or income generated thereon, if provided for in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, all as provided in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Escrow

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will provide that the Escrowed Funds will be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent, and such Escrowed Funds will be released to the Company (and, if the subscription receipts are sold to or through underwriters or agents, a portion of the Escrowed Funds may be released to such underwriters or agents in payment of all or a portion of their fees in connection with the sale of the subscription receipts) at the time and under the terms specified by the Subscription Receipt Agreement. If the Release Conditions are not satisfied, holders of subscription receipts will receive a refund of all or a portion of the subscription price for their subscription receipts, plus their pro-rata entitlement to interest earned or income generated on such amount, if provided for in the Subscription Receipt Agreement, in accordance with the terms of the Subscription Receipt Agreement. Common Shares, warrants and or debt securities may be held in escrow by the Escrow Agent and will be released to the holders of subscription receipts following satisfaction of the Release Conditions at the time and under the terms specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

Modifications

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will specify the terms upon which modifications and alterations to the subscription receipts issued thereunder may be made by way of a resolution of holders of subscription receipts at a meeting of such holders or consent in writing from such holders. The number of holders of subscription receipts required to pass such a resolution or execute such a written consent will be specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

The Subscription Receipt Agreement will also specify that we may amend any Subscription Receipt Agreement and the subscription receipts without the consent of the holders of the subscription receipts to cure any ambiguity, to cure, correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision or in any other manner that will not materially and adversely affect the interests of the holders of outstanding subscription receipts or as otherwise specified in the Subscription Receipt Agreement.

DESCRIPTION OF SHARE PURCHASE CONTRACTS

We may issue share purchase contracts, representing contracts obligating holders to purchase from or sell to us a specified number of Common Shares, as applicable, at a future date or dates.

The price per Common Share and the number of Common Shares, as applicable, may be fixed at the time the share purchase contracts are issued or may be determined by reference to a specific formula or method set forth in the share purchase contracts. We may issue share purchase contracts in accordance with applicable laws and in such amounts and in as many distinct series as we may determine.

The share purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units consisting of a share purchase contract and beneficial interests in debt securities, or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. treasury securities or obligations of the subsidiaries, securing the holders' obligations to purchase the Common Shares under the share purchase contracts, which we refer to in this prospectus as share purchase units. The share purchase contracts may require the Company to make periodic payments to the holders of the share purchase units or vice versa, and these payments may be unsecured or refunded and may be paid on a current or on a deferred basis. The share purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations under those contracts in a specified manner.

Holders of share purchase contracts are not shareholders of HIVE. The particular terms and provisions of share purchase contracts offered by any prospectus supplement, and the extent to which the general terms and provisions described below may apply to them, will be described in the prospectus supplement filed in respect of such share purchase contracts. This description will include, where applicable: (i) whether the share purchase contracts obligate the holder to purchase or sell, or both purchase and sell, Common Shares, as applicable, and the nature and amount of those securities, or the method of determining those amounts; (ii) any conditions upon which the purchase or sale will be contingent and the consequences if such conditions are not satisfied; (iii) whether the share purchase contracts are to be settled by delivery, or by reference or linkage to the value or performance of Common Shares; (iv) any acceleration, cancellation, termination or other provisions relating to the settlement of the share purchase contracts; (v) the date or dates on which the sale or purchase must be made, if any; (vi) whether the share purchase contracts will be issued in fully registered or global form; (vii) the material income tax consequences of owning, holding and disposing of the share purchase contracts; and (viii) any other material terms and conditions of the share purchase contracts including, without limitation, transferability and adjustment terms and whether the share purchase contracts will be listed on a stock exchange.

The Company will deliver an undertaking to the securities regulatory authority in each of the provinces and territories of Canada, that it will not distribute share purchase contracts that, according to their terms as described in the applicable prospectus supplement, are "novel" specified derivatives within the meaning of Canadian securities legislation, separately to any member of the public in Canada, unless such prospectus supplement containing the specific terms of the share purchase contracts to be distributed separately is first approved by or on behalf of the securities commissions or similar regulatory authorities in each of the provinces and territories of Canada where the share purchase contracts will be distributed.

Original purchasers of share purchase contracts will be granted a contractual right of rescission against the Company in respect of the conversion, exchange or exercise of such share purchase contract. The contractual right of rescission will entitle such original purchasers to receive the amount paid upon conversion, exchange or exercise, upon surrender of the underlying securities gained thereby, in the event that this prospectus (as supplemented or amended) contains a misrepresentation, provided that: (i) the conversion, exchange or exercise takes place within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this prospectus; and (ii) the right of rescission is exercised within 180 days of the date of the purchase of the convertible, exchangeable or exercisable security under this prospectus. This contractual right of rescission will be consistent with the statutory right of rescission described under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia), and is in addition to any other right or remedy available to original purchasers under section 131 of the Securities Act (British Columbia) or otherwise at law.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The Company may sell the securities of the Company offered by this prospectus (collectively, the "Securities"), separately or together, to or through underwriters, dealers or agents purchasing as principals for public offering and sale by them and also may sell Securities to one or more other purchasers directly or through agents. Each prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any underwriters or agents, the purchase price or prices of the Securities (or the manner of determination thereof if offered on a non-fixed price basis, including sales in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102), and the proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Securities.

The Securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions at a fixed price or prices which may be changed or at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. The prices at which the Securities may be offered may vary as between purchasers and during the period of distribution. If, in connection with the offering of Securities at a fixed price or prices, the underwriters have made a reasonable effort to sell all of the Securities at the initial offering price fixed in the applicable prospectus supplement, the public offering price may be decreased and thereafter further changed, from time to time, to an amount not greater than the initial public offering price fixed in such prospectus supplement, in which case the compensation realized by the underwriters will be decreased by the amount that the aggregate price paid by purchasers for the Securities is less than the gross proceeds paid by the underwriters to the Company.

The sale of Common Shares may be effected from time to time in one or more transactions at non-fixed prices pursuant to transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market distributions" as defined in NI 44-102, including sales made directly on the TSXV, Nasdaq, or other existing trading markets for the Common Shares. Sales of Common Shares under an "at-the-market distribution", if any, will be made pursuant to an accompanying prospectus supplement. The volume and timing of any "at-the-market distributions" will be determined at the Company's sole discretion.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be deemed to be underwriters, and any commissions received by them from the Company and any profit on the resale of the Securities by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the U.S. Securities Act.

Underwriters, dealers and agents who participate in the distribution of the Securities may be entitled under agreements to be entered into with the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities legislation, or to contribution with respect to payments which such underwriters, dealers or agents may be required to make in respect thereof. Such underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of, engage in transactions with, or perform services for, the Company in the ordinary course of business.

Unless otherwise specified in the relevant prospectus supplement, in connection with any offering of Securities, other than an "at-the-market distribution", the underwriters, dealers or agents who participate in the distribution of Securities may over-allot or effect transactions intended to maintain or stabilize the market price of the Securities offered at a level above that which might otherwise prevail in the open market. Such transactions, if commenced, may be interrupted or discontinued at any time. No underwriter involved in an "at-the-market distribution", no affiliate of such an underwriter and no person or company acting jointly or in concert with such an underwriter may over-allot Common Shares in connection with the distribution or may effect any other transactions that are intended stabilize or maintain the market price of the Common Shares in connection with an "at-the-market distribution" including selling an aggregate number or principal amount of securities that would result in the underwriter creating an over-allocation position in the securities.

Unless stated to the contrary in any prospectus supplement, the Securities have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered, sold or delivered within the United States or to U.S. persons within the meaning of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act, except in certain transactions that are registered or exempt from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. In addition, until 40 days after the commencement of an offering of Securities, an offer or sale of the Securities within the United States or to U.S. persons by any dealer, whether or not participating in the offering, may violate the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act if such offer or sale is made otherwise than in accordance with an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. Each prospectus supplement with respect to the Company's securities being offered will set forth the terms of the offering, including:

the person offering the securities;
the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or other placement agents;
the number and the purchase price of, and form of consideration for, our securities;
any proceeds to the Company from such sale; and
any commissions, fees, discounts and other items constituting underwriters', dealers' or agents' compensation.

CERTAIN INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The applicable prospectus supplement may describe certain Canadian federal income tax consequences to an investor who is a non-resident of Canada or to an investor who is a resident of Canada of acquiring, owning and disposing of any of the Company's securities offered thereunder.

The applicable prospectus supplement may also describe certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of the acquisition, ownership and disposition of any of the Securities offered thereunder by an initial investor who is a U.S. person (within the meaning of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), including, to the extent applicable, such consequences relating to debt securities payable in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, issued at an original issue discount for U.S. federal income tax purposes or containing early redemption provisions or other special items.

Prospective investors should be aware that the acquisition of the securities described herein may have tax consequences both in the United States and in Canada. Such consequences for investors who are resident in, or citizens of, the United States may not be described fully herein. This prospectus or any applicable prospectus supplement may not describe these tax consequences fully. Investors should read the tax discussion in any prospectus supplement with respect to a particular offering and consult their own tax advisors with respect to their own particular circumstances.

LEGAL MATTERS

Certain legal matters related to the Company's securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon on the Company's behalf by Peterson McVicar LLP, with respect to matters of Canadian law. Certain legal matters relating to United States law related to the Company's securities offered by this prospectus will be passed upon on behalf of the Company by Kavinoky Cook, LLP. In addition, certain legal matters in connection with any offering of securities may be passed upon for any underwriters, dealers or agents by counsel to be designated at the time of the offering by such underwriters, dealers or agents.

EXEMPTIVE RELIEF FROM NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 44-101

Pursuant to a decision of the Autorité des Marchés Financiers, the securities regulatory authority in the Province of Québec, dated April 24, 2025 the Company was granted relief from the requirement that this Prospectus and all documents incorporated by reference herein, as well as any prospectus supplement that relates to any future “at-the-market” distribution, must be in both the French and English languages. The Company is not required to file French versions of this Prospectus, the documents incorporated by reference herein or any prospectus supplement relating to an “at-the-market” distribution. This exemption was granted on the condition that this prospectus, together with any prospectus supplement, and any documents incorporated by reference in the prospectus or any prospectus supplement, be translated into French if the Company offers securities to Québec purchasers in connection with an offering other than in relation to an “at-the-market” distribution.

STATUTORY RIGHTS OF WITHDRAWAL AND RESCISSION

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada provides purchasers of securities with the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase securities and with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser are not sent or delivered to the purchaser. However, purchasers of securities under an at-the-market distribution by HIVE do not have the right to withdraw from an agreement to purchase the securities and do not have remedies of rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages for non-delivery of the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by such purchaser because the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to the securities purchased by such purchaser will not be sent or delivered, as permitted under Part 9 of NI 44-102.

Securities legislation in some provinces and territories of Canada further provides purchasers with remedies for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contains a misrepresentation. Those remedies must be exercised by the purchaser within the time limit prescribed by securities legislation. Any remedies under securities legislation that a purchaser of securities distributed under an at-the-market distribution by HIVE may have against HIVE or its agents for rescission or, in some jurisdictions, revisions of the price, or damages if the prospectus, prospectus supplement, and any amendment relating to securities purchased by a purchaser contain a misrepresentation will remain unaffected by the non-delivery of the prospectus referred to above.

A purchaser should refer to applicable securities legislation for the particulars of these rights and should consult a legal adviser.

In an offering of warrants, or other convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities, investors are cautioned that the statutory right of action for damages under Canadian securities laws for a misrepresentation contained in the prospectus or a prospectus supplement (or any amendment thereto) is limited, in certain provincial and territorial securities legislation, to the price at which the warrants, or other convertible, exchangeable or exercisable securities are offered to the public under the prospectus offering. This means that, under the securities legislation of certain provinces and territories, if the purchaser pays additional amounts upon conversion, exchange or exercise of such securities, those amounts may not be recoverable under the statutory right of action for damages that applies in those provinces.

The purchaser should refer to any applicable provisions of the securities legislation of the purchaser’s province or territory for the particulars of these rights, or consult with a legal advisor.
