In a significant development, Hive Digital Technologies concluded its previously announced bought-deal private placement on Thursday, with the closure of a substantial offering of 5 million special warrants. However, the aftermath of this announcement led to a downturn in the stock of Hive Digital Technologies Ltd on Friday.
Closing Thursday’s trading at $5.34 per share, the stock kicked off Friday’s trading session slightly higher at $5.36. Unfortunately, as the day progressed, a discernible decline set in, with the stock’s current value dwindling to $4.79.
The company revealed that the underwriters had exercised their option to the fullest extent, deciding to augment the offering by an additional 750,000 special warrants. Consequently, the comprehensive offering comprised the sale of an impressive 5.75 million special warrants, generating gross proceeds amounting to CA$28.75 million.
Hive Digital Technologies specified that the raised funds would be allocated towards expanding its Bitcoin mining operations, as well as catering to working capital needs and general corporate purposes. Notably, the company expressed its intention to “HODL” all acquired Bitcoin until the forthcoming halving.
Investors are closely monitoring developments related to the potential approval of a spot Bitcoin ETF. Concurrently, Bitcoin is witnessing a rally, hovering near two-year highs. This surge in Bitcoin’s value is speculated to be a contributing factor to the recent gains experienced by Hive Digital Technologies.
Examining the stock performance of Hive Digital Technologies over various periods, a nuanced picture emerges. Over the last five days, the stock has incurred a downturn of 5.92%. Contrastingly, the one-month performance reflects an impressive surge of 38.55%, while the three-month and year-to-date periods showcase substantial gains of 56.09% and 233.87%, respectively.
