Canadian bitcoin miner Digihost (DGHI) remains debt free and cash-flow positive despite a wider downturn across the crypto-mining industry, according to a press release from the company on Tuesday.

The Nasdaq-listed company mined 74.58 bitcoins (BTC) in October, a 78% increase from last October, when it mined 41.84 bitcoins.

The crypto-mining industry has been thrust into uncertainty this year because of soaring energy prices and a market downtrend. Bitcoin miners have felt the squeeze, including Core Scientific (CORZ), which said that it may explore bankruptcy if its financial situation fails to improve.

Digihost, meanwhile, now holds about $2.45 million worth of bitcoin and $1.29 million of ether (ETH) based on crypto prices on Oct. 31. It also holds $3.42 million in cash.

In order to remain cash-flow positive, Digihost sold a portion of its bitcoin holdings in October to cover energy costs.

"Despite current volatile economic conditions, Digihost has been able to maintain good liquidity levels of cash and crypto holdings on a month-to-month basis relative to the size of our operations and of equal importance, the company continues to be debt free," CEO Michel Amar said in the release.

"We have maintained these liquidity levels while internally funding 100% our infrastructure development and securing bonds for electric service," he added.

KuCoin Hits Record Market Share as 2025 Volumes Outpace Crypto Market

16:9 Image

KuCoin captured a record share of centralised exchange volume in 2025, with more than $1.25tn traded as its volumes grew faster than the wider crypto market.

What to know:

  • KuCoin recorded over $1.25 trillion in total trading volume in 2025, equivalent to an average of roughly $114 billion per month, marking its strongest year on record.
  • This performance translated into an all-time high share of centralised exchange volume, as KuCoin’s activity expanded faster than aggregate CEX volumes, which slowed during periods of lower market volatility.
  • Spot and derivatives volumes were evenly split, each exceeding $500 billion for the year, signalling broad-based usage rather than reliance on a single product line.
  • Altcoins accounted for the majority of trading activity, reinforcing KuCoin’s role as a primary liquidity venue beyond BTC and ETH at a time when majors saw more muted turnover.
  • Even as overall crypto volumes softened mid-year, KuCoin maintained elevated baseline activity, indicating structurally higher user engagement rather than short-lived volume spikes.
