Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with DMGGF.
Q: How long is it going to take to secure AI agreements, especially with government bureaucracy involved? A: Sheldon Bennett, CEO: It can take a long time with government, but we remain optimistic about securing agreements in the coming months. The Canadian government has a sense of urgency to achieve AI self-sufficiency, and we are actively working through the process with various agencies. We aim for long-term agreements that command a premium, rather than short-term ones that may not cover high capital costs.
Q: Why didn't you use debt financing to fund AI equipment purchases? A: Sheldon Bennett, CEO: Debt instruments require a revenue source to back them. The 2 megawatts of AI infrastructure we purchased do not generate immediate cash flow, so it wasn't feasible to secure financing. We used our own funds to jumpstart our AI initiatives.
Q: How does DMG compare to other mining stocks like Hive and Marra, and what strategies could lead to all-time highs? A: Steven Elescu, COO: On an EV to hash rate basis, we've been valued less than larger peers, but we are focused on translating our investments in software, services, and AI into meaningful results. This could be a catalyst for stock growth. We continue to generate cash from Bitcoin mining, which supports our short-term needs.
Q: What is the strategic rationale for buying the prefabricated data center? A: Steven Elescu, COO: Owning physical infrastructure enhances our credibility in discussions about deploying sovereign AI in Canada. The prefabricated data center serves as a bridge to larger, next-generation data centers and helps us secure initial agreements that can lead to larger offtake agreements.
Q: Why are you more optimistic about long-term Bitcoin mining at the Christina Lake facility? A: Sheldon Bennett, CEO: We are optimistic due to lower overall costs with non-firm power and the potential to retrofit air-cooled infrastructure to hydro-cooled, which is cost-effective. We continue to look for other sites with low-cost energy, but Christina Lake offers competitive advantages.

Rejecting Trump's rhetoric, Maine's governor heads to Maritimes to build ties
HALIFAX - Maine's governor is heading to the Maritimes next week with hopes a charm offensive will slow the rapid drop in Canadian tourist visits to her state. In a release issued Friday, Janet Mills says she's aware the historically close relationship between New England and its northern neighbours has been challenged by U.S. president Donald Trump's tariffs and his rhetoric about Canada becoming the 51st state. According to U.S. federal border crossing data released Friday, 85,000 fewer Canadians entered Maine in May than in the same month a year ago, a drop of about 27 per cent. The governor says she will spend three days meeting with premiers, appearing in local media and visiting businesses in hope of sending a message that Maritimers remain 'welcome in Maine' despite Trump's trade policies. On Monday, the governor will stop in Saint John, N.B., where she intends to visit businesses with links to Maine and she then will travel to Fredericton to hold talks with New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt. On Wednesday, Mills will meet with Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston in Halifax and tour a marine technology centre. Last month, the governor unveiled new, bilingual signs welcoming Canadian visitors, which are being placed in windows around the state. On June 13, in her weekly radio address, Mills said she wants to ensure the 'historic friendship and deeply intertwined economies last for generations to come.' 'It's not just our economies – we are connected so deeply by mutual economic advantages and on centuries-old familial, cuisine, language, and cultural bonds that far supersede politics,' she told her listeners, reminding them that Canada is the United States' closest and most important trading partner. The Democratic Party member said Trump's 'roller coaster tariffs' are unsettling business in her state and 'making our Canadian neighbors feel unwelcome in the United States.' In 2024, nearly 800,000 Canadian visitors spent approximately US$498 million in Maine, according to the state's Office of Tourism. Overall, the data showed Maine welcomed 14.8 million visitors, who spent more than US$9.2 billion, supporting 115,900 jobs and generating US$5.4 billion in wages.

Semler Scientific Investors Cheered by New Hire, Lofty Bitcoin Acquisition Goals
Semler Scientific (SMLR) has hired Joe Burnett to the newly created position of director of Bitcoin strategy. Alongside, the company — which currently holds 4,449 bitcoin worth about $462 million — announced a goal of owning at least 10,000 bitcoin by the end of this year, 42,000 by year-end 2026 and 105,000 by year-end 2027. "We are excited to have Joe join our Bitcoin strategy team and help drive our three-year-plan to own 105,000 Bitcoins," said company Chairman Eric Semler in a press release. "Joe is an analytical thought leader on Bitcoin and Bitcoin treasury companies. His expertise will be instrumental as we pursue our Bitcoin treasury strategy and aim to deliver long-term value to our stockholders." "For over seven years, [Joe] has publicly been making the case for Bitcoin as the world's most advanced form of monetary technology," the release continued. "He previously served as director of market research at Unchained, a Bitcoin-focused financial services company." Investors, for now, are applauding the news, sending SMLR higher by 14% on Friday even as bitcoin has dipped back below $104,000 and most BTC-related stocks are trading in the red. Prior to today, though, it's been a rough ride for SMLR, which remains lower by 33% year-to-date and more than 50% off its 2025 high above $80. The sharp share price decline has left the company's market capitalization at or below the value of the bitcoin on its balance sheet — thus taking off the table the ability to accretively raise money for more BTC purchases through common share sales. The hiring of Burnett and lofty BTC acquisition goals suggests Semler is likely to get creative with capital raising plans, perhaps — in similar fashion to Michael Saylor's Strategy — turning to the preferred share market.
