AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Ionic Digital Inc. (“Ionic Digital” or the “Company”), a digital infrastructure company supporting the expanding needs of AI and high-performance computing, today issued its unaudited Mining and Operations Update for January 2026.

In January, Ionic Digital mined 34.68 Bitcoin (“BTC”), a decrease of 7.1% compared to the prior month. The decrease in production was primarily driven by lower network block production (-5.1%) and a planned decline in Ionic’s hashrate (-8.4%), following fleet consolidation and the planned wind-down of mining operations at the Cedarvale site under the 10-year lease agreement. Ionic remains on track to fulfill its obligations under the lease. These impacts were partially offset by a 7.1% decline in global network hashrate, which eased competitive pressure.

Ionic Digital’s share of global hashrate declined 1.4% month-over-month, reflecting that its hashrate contracted modestly more than the network overall during the period. The daily average hashrate was 2.61 EH/s. This figure was supported by increased contribution from Midland (+5.6%), partially offset by lower output at GXD, a hosted site in Oklahoma (–20.3%), due to de-racking and planned discontinuance of operations at the site in February 2026, as well as no contribution from Cedarvale.

Fleet efficiency for the month was 29.7 J/TH, reflecting the continued optimization within a more concentrated operating footprint, with a total of 44,445 active miners utilized during January 2026.

Ionic Digital continues to maintain its zero-debt position and liquidated no BTC in January. As of January 31, 2026, the Company held 2,754.8 BTC, an increase of 35.3 BTC over the prior month.
