TORONTO, July 25, 2018 /CNW/ - HyperBlock Inc. (CSE: HYPR) — one of North America's largest and most diversified crypto asset enterprises — is on-track to meet its 2018 goals and has reported first quarter expected EBITDA of US$4.9M and revenue of US$7.4M for its predecessor company, HyperBlock Technologies Corp.

The company, which formed on July 10, 2018 — following the business combination of HyperBlock Technologies Corp., CryptoGlobal and Project Northwest — recently began trading on the Canadian Securities Exchange under the symbol HYPR. 

The newly formed HyperBlock Inc. operates 21,500+ servers on 28.5MW of power and offers five product offerings — from hash rate sales and cloud mining to a proprietary crypto security vault solution that will launch later this year.

"HyperBlock is steadfastly focused on the fundamentals — and on building long-term, sustainable financial strength for our shareholders," says HyperBlock Inc. CFO Tim Smart.

Financial Strength through Diversity
"HyperBlock's financial strength is based on our unique, diversified business model that helps the company survive, thrive and build revenue, even during challenging market downturns," explains HyperBlock Inc. CEO Sean Walsh. 

"HyperBlock offers five complimentary products — including our innovative Mining-as-a-Service hash rate sales, cloud mining and our proprietary crypto custodial vault, which will launch later this year," says Walsh.  In addition to its core business divisions, HyperBlock operates an expanding R&D lab focused on Bitcoin adoption and usage.

In addition to providing an update on newly formed HyperBlock Inc.'s market performance, and in compliance with securities regulations, the company also provided the operating and financial results update for its privately-held predecessor HyperBlock Technologies Corp., for the three month period ended March 31, 2018.  These financial statements are available under the company's issuer profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com under the heading "Financial statements of RTO acquirer."
