Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide more details on the CEO transition, specifically the experience, background, and qualities you are looking for in a candidate? A: Pete Wiley (Interim CEO & COO): We are not commenting publicly much more than we already have on the search itself. However, our three pillars are quite clear: building the Avalanche digital asset treasury, enhancing Bitcoin mining operations, and exploring AI infrastructure. Candidates with experience in and around those spaces will be the ones evaluated, but we won't make much further comment at this time.
Q: Regarding the third pillar, AI data centers, where does your focus lie? Is the target of powered land at the Alberta location in 1Q27 still a firm plan, or are you looking at everything more opportunistically? A: Pete Wiley (Interim CEO & COO): We remain focused and are exploring opportunities in Alberta through a partnership with Blue Flare primarily.
Q: Can you discuss the progress of the Redwater Inference Pilot and what you are seeing and learning thus far? A: Pete Wiley (Interim CEO & COO): The pilot remains on track, but we have yet to actually deploy the equipment. There was a long lead time to secure all needed assets to commence the pilot itself. We are still on track to launch it on schedule, but we have yet to get the operating results back from the pilot. We look forward to updating the market.
