HIVE Digital Technologies
Hive Digital Technologies Chief Financial Officer Darcy Daubaras joined Steve Darling from Proactive and shared significant updates regarding the company's Bitcoin mining operations. He announced the purchase of 1,000 Bitmain S21 Antminers, which will add 200 petahash per second of high-efficiency Bitcoin mining capacity to the company's operations. The S21 Antminer is recognized as one of the newest and most efficient Bitcoin mining ASIC systems, boasting a remarkable energy efficiency of 17.5 joules per terahash. Additionally, Daubaras disclosed that Hive Digital Technologies has further strengthened its position by accumulating 2,070 Bitcoin on its balance sheet as of February 21, 2024. This proactive approach aligns with the company's strategic preparation for the upcoming Bitcoin Halving event, expected in late April 2024.

This strategic decision aims to lower the average costs of Bitcoin production and enhance operational efficiency. By upgrading to the S21 Antminers, Hive Digital Technologies plans to increase its target Exahash from 5.3 EH/s to 5.5 EH/s by the end of June 2024, leveraging its 140 MW of operating infrastructure globally.

Trust Stamp flags Trojan impacting 3rd party biometric systems on iOS
T Stamp Inc
Trust Stamp CTO Scott Francis joined Steve Darling from Proactive to issue a warning to financial institutions and their customers regarding the emerging dangers posed by Trojans targeting bank accounts. One such newly discovered Android Trojan, dubbed "GoldDigger," has raised concerns among cybersecurity experts. Furthermore, Group-IB's threat intelligence unit identified a cluster of aggressive banking Trojans, including GoldPickAxe, which is the first known iOS Trojan designed to harvest facial biometric data for unauthorized access to bank accounts. Francis emphasized the importance of safeguarding biometric data in light of rapidly evolving attacks like these Trojans. He highlighted Trust Stamp's revolutionary Stable IT2 TM technology and biometric multi-factor authentication, which do not store or retain any biometric data on vulnerable devices. Additionally, no identifying data is stored on the user's device. This biometric cryptographic system offers authentication without leaving behind any biometric breadcrumbs that could be exploited by cybercriminals. By combining biometric multi-factor authentication with device authentication, Trust Stamp disrupts the transaction flow used by attackers behind these Trojans. This approach not only utilizes biometric authentication with proof of life but also ensures that the user is in possession of the authorized device, thereby enhancing security and mitigating the risks associated with such attacks.

Tonix Pharmaceuticals drug TNX-102 SL gets FDA ok for US Department of Defense funded trial
Tonix Pharmaceuticals
Tonix Pharmaceuticals CEO Dr. Seth Lederman joined Steve Darling from Proactive to share significant news regarding the company's latest development: the clearance of the Investigational New Drug application by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the Phase 2 investigator-initiated OASIS trial. This trial aims to evaluate the efficacy of TNX-102 SL in reducing the severity of acute stress reaction and the frequency of acute stress disorder and post traumatic stress disorder. Dr. Lederman explained that the trial is sponsored by The University of North Carolina Institute for Trauma Recovery and is supported by a substantial 3 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Defense. The primary objective of the trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of TNX-102 SL in mitigating adverse posttraumatic neuropsychiatric effects among patients who present to the emergency department following a motor vehicle collision. The trial is expected to enroll approximately 180 trauma survivors across various emergency department study sites throughout the United States. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either TNX-102 SL 5.6 mg or a placebo for a two-week course. Notably, there is currently a lack of medication available at or near the point-of-care to effectively address the needs of patients suffering from traumatic events and support their long-term health. This development underscores Tonix Pharmaceuticals' commitment to addressing unmet medical needs in the field of trauma recovery and psychiatric disorders. With the initiation of the OASIS trial, the company aims to contribute to the advancement of treatment options for individuals experiencing acute stress reactions and related neuropsychiatric sequelae following traumatic events.

AFC Energy achieves further breakthrough in ammonia cracking efficiency
AFC Energy PLC
AFC Energy PLC (AIM:AFC, OTC:AFGYF) CEO Adam Bond joins Proactive's Stephen Gunnion with details of its latest advancements in ammonia cracker reactor technology. After launching its first modular scalable ammonia cracker at COP28 last year, Bond said AFC Energy had achieved world-class efficiency levels in ammonia cracking technology well ahead of schedule. This development is pivotal for the sustainable production and transportation of hydrogen.

The latest advancement in the technology facilitates a 33% reduction in electrical power consumption compared to the 2023 design, with expectations to reduce energy usage to below 10 kilowatt-hours per kilogram, positioning AFC Energy as a leader in the market. The company is on track to further reduce energy consumption within the next 12 months. Discussions and visits from major global producers of green and blue ammonia indicate strong commercial interest, with revenue expected from 2025. AFC Energy is scaling up its next-generation technology and aims to finalize the commercial module size, resembling a large washing machine, within this calendar year.
