Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023
Response Letter dated November 13, 2024
File No. 001-40527
Dear Mses. Tillan and Miller:
This letter is being furnished

Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” and, the staff of the Commission, the “Staff”) by letter
dated November 13, 2024 (the “Letter”) relating to the Corporation’s annual reports on Form 20-F for the fiscal years
ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 (the “2023 20-F”). This letter provides supplemental responses to the Staff’s
comment nos. 3 and 4 of the Letter, as requested by the Staff via a teleconference call on December 18, 2024. For convenience,
the Staff’s comment nos. 3 and 4 are repeated below, followed by our supplemental response thereto. The responses contained herein

● Provide us with a summary of your colocation service and electricity sales agreements, including the
rights and obligations of each party, and tell us the related amounts recognized in your financial statements.
● Tell us how revenues recognized of $1.7m and $3 million from colocation service and for electricity

and settled.
● We note you previously had lease and hosting agreements until February 2023. Explain to us the differences
in the services you now provide under the mining operations agreement and colocation services and electricity sales agreements compared
to prior lease and hosting agreements.
Response: As a supplement to our response
contained in the Response Letter, we are furnishing the following additional information:
1. As it pertains the Corporation’s colocation services agreements, each counterparty with which the
Corporation has executed such an agreement is allowed the opportunity to select the mining pool(s) to which the computing power will be
directed and from which the mining rewards will be received (e.g., Foundry pools). The Corporation is responsible for connecting the miners
to the pool(s) and related monitoring. If the relevant counterparty wants to change or switch pools, they will have to request that of
the Corporation, which is obligated to effectuate such change.
2. Excerpts of the termination provisions included in the Corporation’s colocation services agreements
are included below.
Agreement 1:
Each of the parties shall have the right
to terminate this Agreement upon written notice in the event (i) of any change in applicable law, regulation, decision, rule or order
that materially increases the costs or other terms of delivery of the obligations required under this Agreement and this Agreement cannot
be amended such that the Corporation can continue to reasonably provide the services contemplated herein without materially changing the
economics of this Agreement as between the parties; (ii) a party is unable to pay its financial obligations when due, becomes subject
to insolvency proceedings, applies for or institutes insolvency proceedings or offers or makes an arrangement with its creditors generally,
or if a third-party applies for insolvency proceedings against such party and such proceedings are not stayed or discharged within thirty
(30) days, unless such proceeding is dismissed due to insufficiency of assets; or (iii) the other party fails to perform or otherwise
breaches a material obligation under this Agreement and such breach is either not susceptible to being cured or is not being cured within
ten (10) business days after the breaching party becomes aware of such breach.
December 27, 2024
Page 3
“Force Majeure Event” means
any event that is beyond Corporation’s reasonable control and not otherwise contemplated by Corporation’s reasonably designed
disaster recovery plan, including, but not limited to, acts of war, issues with import/export restrictions, unforeseeable and unmitigable
lack of electricity supplies, blackouts, brownouts, power shortages, government regulations, severe weather (including blizzards and other
similar items), disease, or epidemic or pandemic (where an epidemic or pandemic has been declared at the Premises by the Center for Disease
Control or the World Health Organization), where such disease, epidemic, or pandemic causes a government-mandated shutdown of Corporation
or the Premises. (ii) Partner has the right to terminate this Agreement if in three (3) months out of the trailing twelve (12) month-period,
the uptime during each such month was less than 95%, as set forth in paragraph 2(b). If uptime drops below 90%, caused by any reason for
any consecutive twenty (20) days, Partner may terminate this Agreement and relocate the Miners to any third-party host at Partner’s
sole and absolute discretion. (iii) Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason and without cause, with sixty (60) days prior
written notice to the other party.
Agreement 2:
A. Either Party may terminate this Agreement
upon the other Party’s Event of Default provided that i) the non-breaching party provides the breaching party written notice of
the material breach with sufficient detail to allow the breach to be cured and ii) allows the claimed breaching party at least thirty
(30) days to cure the claimed breach. Termination pursuant to this Section 6.3.A shall become effective on the thirtieth day following
written notice given in accordance with this section if the material breach remains uncured.
B. Customer may terminate this Agreement
with immediate effect in accordance with Section 2.7 (uptime and minimum service level parameters) or Section 11.9 (Force Majeure Events).
C. Customer may voluntarily terminate
this contract after a minimum period of six (6) months from the Effective Date, provided that written notice of termination is provided
to the Service Provider at least forty-five (45) days in advance of the intended termination date.
3. Pertaining the Corporation’s singular agreement that constitutes the Sale of electricity revenue
line, pursuant to the underlying agreement, the “Operator agrees to accept a minimum of 22MW of Energy capacity on a 24/7 basis
at the Delivery Point (the “Minimum Usage Amount”), unless Operator and the Corporation mutually agree in writing to a lesser
minimum usage amount due to economic or other reasons.” On this basis, the Corporation respectfully submits that the counterparty
is not contractually permitted to unilaterally turn off the miners at its election and must instead reach an agreement with the Corporation
before any such action may be taken.
4. Regarding the Miner lease and hosting agreement expense line
item of $638,689 in the Cost of Digital Currency Mining section of the income statement, that is a gross expense line item (i.e., not
net of revenue).

Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2023
Response Letter dated August 30, 2024
File No. 001-40527
Dear Mses. Tillan and Miller:
This letter is being furnished
on behalf of Digihost Technology Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Digihost”) in response to the comments received from
the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” and, the staff of the Commission, the “Staff”)
by letter dated November 13, 2024 (the “Letter”) relating to the Corporation’s annual reports on Form 20-F for the fiscal
years ended December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023 (the “2023 20-F”). The responses contained herein are keyed to the numbers
of the comments in the Letter, which appear in italics below for convenience. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the 2023 20-F, and all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars (“USD”
or “$”).
Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December
31, 2023
General
1. In your comment letter responses 2, 8, 10 and 12 in your letter dated December 22, 2023 and 1 and
4 in your letter dated August 30, 2024, you agreed to enhance certain disclosures in future filings. Based on review of your 20-F for
the period ending December 31, 2023 filed September 16, 2024, we are unable to find the enhanced disclosures. Please confirm that you
will revise your disclosures in future filings as agreed.
Response: The Corporation
acknowledges the Staff’s comments and confirms that it will revise disclosures in future filings as agreed.
Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), page F-3
2. We note that revenue includes amounts from (i) digital currency mining, (ii) colocation services,
(iii) sale of electricity, and (iv) sale of energy. You present cost of digital currency mining and subtract that total amount from total
revenue to determine your gross profit (loss) for each period. Please respond to the following:
● Tell us whether the cost of digital currency mining includes the costs related to your revenues from colocation services, sale
of electricity, and sale of energy.
● If the related costs are included, tell us your consideration of revising the presentation to clearly reflect the nature of the
costs included.
November 27, 2024
Page 2
● If the related costs are not included, tell us why the costs are not included in your calculation of gross profit and explain how
you considered IAS 1 in your presentation of gross profit.
Response: The Corporation
respectfully confirms that the cost of digital currency mining includes the costs related to its revenues from colocation services, sale
of electricity, and sale of energy. The Corporation will evaluate and, where appropriate, include additional language regarding the nature
of expenses specifically included in cost of revenue in future filings.
Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, page F-4
3. We note your response to prior comment 10 and are unable to agree. Please revise to classify cash
payments for and cash receipts from the purchase and sale of intangibles and or digital assets as investing activities consistent with
the requirements of IAS 7.16 (a) and (b).
Response: The Corporation acknowledges the Staff’s comment
but continues to conclude that the classification of proceeds from the sale of digital assets as operating activities is supported by
the “nearly immediately” conversion criterion outlined in IAS 7. Digital assets, received as part of the Corporation’s
ordinary business activities, are typically converted into cash shortly after receipt. While the Corporation may hold digital assets for
a brief period, the intention is to liquidate them for cash in the near term after they are received or mined, aligning with the criterion
where assets behave similarly to cash or cash equivalents. As these assets are integral to the Corporation’s revenue-producing operations
and are disposed of in the normal course of business, their sale proceeds represent operating cash flows rather than investing activities.
Note 2. Material Accounting Policies
Revenue Recognition, page F-9
4. We note that you received bitcoin from a mining operations agreement, colocation services agreements
and electricity sales agreements. Please address the following with a view towards enhanced disclosures in future filings:
● Tell us where your mining operations agreement revenue is recognized in your statements of comprehensive income.
Response: The revenue
from the Corporation’s mining operations agreement is recognized as sale of electricity revenue.
● Provide us with a summary of your colocation service and electricity sales agreements, including the
rights and obligations of each party, and tell us the related amounts recognized in your financial statements.
Response: The Corporation recognizes revenue from its colocation
services when it satisfies performance obligations by transferring the control of services, which include power provision and space rental,
to customers. Revenue is recognized monthly in an amount that reflects actual power consumption, as per contractual terms, and any fixed
maintenance fees are recognized over time as services are rendered to customers, aligning the recognition of revenue with the delivery
of services. The transaction price for colocation services includes both fixed fees and variable considerations, which are incorporated
only if a significant reversal in the future is deemed unlikely.
November 27, 2024
Page 3
A summary of these agreements is as follows:
● The Corporation will (i) provide hosting services at the
premises per the terms of the agreement to company X for the purpose of operating an up to Y MW bitcoin mining system,
and (ii) provide services to maintain the premises and the operation of the miners throughout the term of the agreement.
● Throughout the term of the agreement, the Corporation shall
be responsible for and shall maintain ownership and control of the premises. The Corporation will provide power and management services
necessary to provide a ninety-five (95%) percent uptime on the miners, providing for no more than ten (10) days of downtime per year
in order to perform necessary maintenance on the Corporation’s power system or as legally required by federal, state, and other
controlling regulatory bodies.
● Power Cost: Company X shall be charged a Power Cost equal
to company X’s share of actual costs and expenses incurred by the Corporation at the premises for the purposes of providing power
to the miners, paid on a pass-through basis, due on the first (1st) of each month, with adjustments made to each next month’s payments
such that only actual accrued and documented power costs are incurred by company X. The Corporation shall provide company X with an itemized
and detailed breakdown of all Power Costs each month in sufficient detail to company X’s satisfaction. Amounts are settled on a
monthly basis in cash.
● The Corporation shall also be entitled to Z percent (Z%)
of the profit generated by the miners, which is a structured profit-sharing arrangement. The profit share shall be accounted for and
paid according to the following method: (A) total hash rate per calendar month (calculated through daily hash log) (B) less Power Cost,
maintenance cost, service cost and all costs, expenses, or fees incurred under the agreement related to the operation of company X’s
miners or otherwise, (C) multiplied by Z percent (Z%). Amounts under that part of the agreement are settled in bitcoin.
Colocation services revenues of $1,675,269 are recognized in the financial
statements.
The Corporation recognizes revenue from the sale of electricity when
it has satisfied its performance obligation, which occurs as the electricity is provided to the customer. The Corporation supplies the
requisite power and ancillary operational functions in order for the digital currency mining equipment on its property to run efficiently
outside of its facilities. Revenue is recorded monthly based on the actual consumption of energy by the customer, at the price determined
by the contract. This reflects the Corporation’s performance and the customer’s consumption benefits, with variable consideration
being recognized in the period it is due. The transaction price for sale of electricity includes both fixed fees and variable considerations,
which are incorporated only if a significant reversal in the future is deemed unlikely.
Under the agreement, the Corporation is providing a portion of its
power capacity available to a customer in exchange for payment of the energy costs incurred by the customer’s running of machines
at one of the Corporation’s facilities. This portion of the agreement is settled in cash on a monthly basis. Additionally, the Corporation
is entitled to receive 10% of the generated hashrate rewards from the customer’s running of its machines at the Corporation’s
location. This portion of the agreement is settled in bitcoin on a monthly basis. This information is easily attainable based on incurred
power costs and rewards generated on the blockchain from machines being run and reviewed by both parties.
Sale of electricity revenues of $3,037,393 are recognized in the financial
statements.
● Tell us how revenues recognized of $1.7m and $3 million from colocation service and for electricity sales, respectively, reconcile
to the bitcoin received of $.2 million and $.5 million as disclosed in your digital asset rollforward on page F-18.
Response: A portion of
the revenue recognized from colocation services and for electricity sales were settled in bitcoin. The respective amounts are present
in the digital asset rollforward on page F-18 and are included in the revenues recognized of $1.7 million and $3 million from colocation
service and for electricity sales, respectively, with the remaining amounts having been settled in cash.
November 27, 2024
Page 4
● Tell us how amounts under the terms of the colocation service and electricity sales agreement are determined
and settled.
Response: See answer
previously provided immediately above.
● We note you previously had lease and hosting agreements until February 2023. Explain to us the differences in the services you
now provide under the mining operations agreement and colocation services and electricity sales agreements compared to prior lease and
hosting agreements.
Response: The services provided under the
Corporation’s current agreements were comparable to those under the prior lease and hosting agreements, which were in effect until
February 2023. A summary of the key distinctions is as follows:
1. Prior lease and hosting agreements:
○ These agreements primarily involved leasing space and equipment hosting services. Under these arrangements:
■ The Corporation provided physical space within its facilities for third-party mining equipment.
■ Maintenance and operational support services were included to ensure that customer equipment operated
efficiently.
■ Customers retained ownership of their mining equipment and were responsible for their mining operations,
including pool participation.
■ Electricity costs were generally passed through to customers as part of the hosting fee structure, without
any significant markup.
2. Current mining operations agreement:
○ Under the mining operations agreement:
■ The Corporation directly operates mining equipment to mine cryptocurrencies on behalf of the entity.
■ This model shifts the focus from hosting customer-owned equipment to actively managing mining operations,
including the optimization of mining activities based on market conditions and network factors.
■ Revenue is primarily derived from cryptocurrency mining rather than service fees.
3. Current colocation services agreement:
○ Colocation services now provide customers with:
■ Physical space and infrastructure similar to the prior hosting agreements, but with a more comprehensive
offering, including enhanced cooling, network support, and security measures.
■ Greater emphasis on scalability and flexibility for customers who wish to expand their operations without
additional capital investments in infrastructure.
■ A value-added service model where the Corporation may also assist in miner procurement, setup, and performance
monitoring.
November 27, 2024
Page 5
4. Electricity sales agreements:
○ These agreements involve selling electricity directly to customers:
■ Customers may purchase power independently of other services, allowing them to manage their mining operations
autonomously.
■ This arrangement offers more transparency and control to customers over energy consumption and costs compared
to the bundled pricing in prior hosting agreements.
■ The direct sale of electricity allows the Corporation to optimize utilization of its energy capacity and
create a separate revenue stream.

5. In future filings please disclose the method used to compute gains and losses (for example, first-in
first-out).
Response: The Corporation acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and confirms it will disclose such information in its future filings where appropriate.
Note 3. Digital currencies, page F-18
6. We note your response to prior comment 7 and that as of June 27, 2024,
miner lease agreements in place expired with no plans for the parties to pursue new agreements. Please address the following:
● You disclosed in a 6-K on March 5, 2024 that you had signed a multi-year hosting agreement with one
of the world’s leading manufacturers of digital currency mining servers. Tell us if this agreement was an extension of agreements

Response: The Corporation confirms that the agreement

and with parties in place during fiscal 2023.
Response: The Corporation confirms that the agreement

Dear Mses. Tillan and Miller:
On behalf of Digihost Technology
Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Digihost”), I am responding to the comments contained in the letter dated March 4,
2024 (the “Letter”) from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission” and, the staff
of the Commission, the “Staff”) to Michel Amar, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, relating to the Corporation’s
Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 20-F”). The responses contained herein are keyed to the numbers
of the comments in the Letter, which appear in italics below for convenience. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein

Form 20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December

Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and
Prospects, page 22
1. We acknowledge your response to prior comment 2. Please respond to the
following:
With respect to your break-even analysis, address
the following:
● You reflect that 380 bitcoin were remitted per agreements. Disclose the nature of the remitted bitcoin,
or reference to where you disclose the information.
● Tell us why you excluded the costs of the miner lease and hosting agreement since it appears that you
include the related bitcoins mined.
Response: The remitted bitcoin was pursuant
to a miner lease agreement and a hosting services agreement with Northern Data, NY LLC, pursuant to which the Corporation and Northern
Data agreed to split a portion of the mining rewards received and energy costs incurred for the miners put in service pursuant to these
agreements. On page 22 of the 2022 20-F, the bitcoins mined were included as they were mined in the Corporation’s facilities, while,
as shown on the continuity of digital currency reconciliation, 380 bitcoins were remitted to Northern Data. This information is disclosed
in Note 3 of the December 31, 2022 audited financial statements, sub note 2 and Note 3 included in the 2022 20-F. Costs are included in
the below analysis while the portion of the coins remitted is excluded. This agreement terminated on February 15, 2023.

With respect to the number
of data miners available to mine, including as part of any hosting arrangements, disclose the number of data miners available to mine,
and as part of any hosting arrangement for the periods presented. In your response you reflect an increase in active miners of 9,237 and
miners per hosting arrangements of 3,350 which does not provide an understanding of your overall operations and costs thereof.
Response: Cost of power,
other production costs, and depreciation and amortization expenses all increased from 2022 to 2021 in line with the costs associated with
the increase in active miners and other infrastructure costs. The Corporation had approximately 16,500 active miners as of the fiscal
year ended December 31, 2022 as compared to approximately 7,500 as of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021. For the periods presented,
miners per hosting agreements was approximately 3,350 as the hosting agreement commenced in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended
December 31, 2021 and the corresponding impact of the hosting agreement was not fully felt until the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.
Miner lease and hosting costs are associated with hosting agreements discussed in these responses. In future Form 20-Fs, the Corporation
will disclose the number of data miners available to mine, including as part of any hosting arrangements.
Financial Statements
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, page F-1
2. We acknowledge your response to prior comment 3. However, we note that AS 2820.09 and .16 - .17 relate
to the Correction of a Material Misstatement in Previously Issued Financial Statements. Specifically, AS 2820.16 refers to recognizing
in the auditor’s report through the addition of an explanatory paragraph the correction of a material misstatement in previously
issued financial statements. As we note that you restated your previously issued financial statements for fiscal 2021 as described in
Note 25, ask your auditors to tell us how they considered AS 3101.18(e) and AS 2820.09 and .16 - .17.
Response: We appreciate the Staff’s attention to the details
surrounding the restatement related to the reclassification of warrants as financial liabilities instead of equity due to the fixed-for-fixed
condition not being met, as disclosed in Note 25 of the financial statements. We would like to provide additional context to support the
auditor’s decision not to include an explanatory paragraph in the audit report concerning that restatement.
August 30, 2024
Page 3
1. Materiality of the Restatement:
o The restatement was fully disclosed in Note 25 of the financial statements, detailing the impact on both the consolidated statement
of financial position and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. While the restatement involved a significant reclassification,
it did not have a material impact on the Corporation’s overall financial health or operational performance. The restatement primarily
affected the presentation within shareholders’ equity and liabilities, and did not alter the Corporation’s cash flows, operations,
or overall business strategy. Given this context, the Corporation’s auditors determined that the restatement was not material enough
to warrant an explanatory paragraph under AS 3101.18(e) and AS 2820.
2. Sufficient Disclosure in the Financial Statements:
o The impact of the restatement was clearly and comprehensively disclosed in Note 25, which provides a detailed breakdown of the adjustments
made, including the reclassification of the warrants, the resulting changes to shareholders’ equity, and the comprehensive income
figures. The disclosure aligns with the requirements of IFRS and provides sufficient information for users of the financial statements
to understand the nature and impact of the restatement. Since the restatement was adequately disclosed in the financial statements, the
Corporation’s auditors concluded that an additional explanatory paragraph in the audit report was unnecessary.
3. Consideration of AS 3101.18(e) and AS 2820:
o AS 3101.18(e) requires an explanatory paragraph in the auditor’s report if a restatement is necessary to correct a material
misstatement. AS 2820.09 and .16-.17 guide auditors to include such a paragraph when the correction is fundamental to understanding the
financial statements. In this case, the restatement was neither fundamental to the users’ understanding nor did it indicate a pervasive
issue affecting the Corporation’s financial reporting framework. The correction was isolated to the classification of warrants and
did not affect the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern or its overall financial performance. As a result, the Corporation’s
auditors deemed that the inclusion of an explanatory paragraph would not enhance the clarity or utility of the financial statements.
4. Consistency with Professional Judgment and Standards:
o The decision not to include an explanatory paragraph was based on professional judgment, aligned with the guidance provided by PCAOB
standards. The Corporation’s auditors exercised their judgment in determining that the restatement did not significantly affect
the interpretation of the financial statements as a whole. The comprehensive disclosure in Note 25 served the purpose of informing stakeholders
of the restatement, ensuring transparency, and fulfilling the Corporation’s disclosure obligations.
The decision of the Corporation’s
auditor to not include an explanatory paragraph in the audit report was based on a thorough consideration of the materiality of the restatement,
the sufficiency of the disclosures in Note 25, and the relevant auditing standards. The existing disclosure within the financial statements
was deemed adequate to inform users of the restatement’s nature and impact, thereby negating the need for an additional explanatory
paragraph.

3. We note several items that are included in your statement of cash flows for the nine months ended
September 30, 2022 (as shown in your Form 6-K filed November 14, 2023) that are not included in your consolidated statement of cash flows
for fiscal 2022 in your Form 20-F. For the following items, please tell us why the items were not included for fiscal 2022:
● $11,982,320 of digital currencies for loan repayment within adjustments for cash flows used in operations;
● $1,250,000 for proceeds from a mortgage within cash provided by financing activities;
● $10,000,000 for repayment of loans payable within cash flows provided by financing activities; and
● $1,950,000 for acquisition of digital currency within cash flows used in investing activities. Further explain why the amount decreased
from $3,932,000 as shown in your statement of cash flows for the quarter ended March 31, 2022. Refer to your Form 6-K filed May 15, 2023.
Response: For the first
bullet item above, in the 2022 20-F, activity related to digital currency movements have been included in the “Cash flow supplemental
information”, Digital Currencies items, so activity is encompassed there. This was a grouping change from the presentation in the
financial statements for the third quarter of 2022 (the “Q3 Financial Statements”).
Proceeds from a mortgage would
be a misclassification in the Q3 Financial Statements. During 2022, the Corporation had assumed a mortgage of $1,250,000 and repaid $44,500
as of December 31, 2023.
For the third bullet item above,
this was amount was paid in Bitcoin (not cash). See also the Corporation’s response to Comment 11 below.
For the final bullet item above,
in the 2022 20-F, activity related to digital currency movements was included in the “Cash flow supplemental information”
and Digital Currencies items, so activity is encompassed there. This was a grouping change from prior quarters.

ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 (the “2023 Canadian Financial Statements”) that were attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s

that were attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Form 6-K filed with the Commission on April 3, 2024.
● Your response indicates your single performance obligation is a service to perform hash calculations
for the pool operator and that contract inception occurs when the provision for performing hash calculations commences. Make a corresponding
revision to your accounting policy and related disclosures throughout your filing. Ensure that this disclosure indicates, if true, that
providing hash calculation for the pool operator is an output of your ordinary activities, that you determine when to provide services,
and that your enforceable right to compensation begins when, and continues for as long as, services are provided.
Response: The Corporation
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that responsive disclosure was included in Note 2(f) of the 2023 Canadian Financial Statements
that were attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Form 6-K filed with the Commission on April 3, 2024.
● Tell us whether your customer, Foundry, has a unilateral enforceable right to terminate the contract
at any time without substantively compensating you for the termination. If such a termination right exists, and since you have concluded
that the duration of the contract is less than a day and that the contract continuously renews throughout the day per your response, revise
your accounting policy to state this.
Response: The Corporation
acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that responsive disclosure was included in Note 2(f) of the 2023 Canadian Financial Statements
that were attached as Exhibit 99.2 to the Corporation’s Form 6-K filed with the Commission on April 3, 2024.
● To the extent your mining pool operator possesses the ability to terminate the contract at any time,
it appears this right could be akin to a renewal right. If this right exists, tell us whether it is a material right. For example, clarify
whether the terms, conditions, and compensation amounts of the renewal right are at the then-current market rates. If so, tell us whether
you have concluded that the customer’s renewal option is not a material right. Refer to IFRS 15.26(j). Make corresponding revisions
to your accounting policy and related disclosures to the extent necessary.

The Corporation acknowledges the Staff’s comment and notes that responsive disclosure was included in Note 2(f) of the 2023 Canadian

told us that you do not receive any transaction fees. We note that under Foundry’s
agreement, payments are made for the expected value of the block reward plus the transaction
fee reward. Tell us further why you believe you do not receive any transaction fees.

Foundry's agreement, payments are made for the expected value of the block reward
plus the transaction fee reward. Tell us further why you believe you do not receive
any transaction fees.
•Your response told us that you measure non-cash consideration using both (i) the
price of bitcoin at the end of each day and your policy is consistently applied and (ii)
the average price of bitcoins in effect on the day the bitcoins are mined. We note that
the average price is consistent with your disclosure. Clarify your valuation policy for
us and tell us whether or not you have consistently applied that policy for the periods
presented in your financial statements. Ensure that your disclosures are consistent
with your policy.
•You disclose that digital currencies are considered earned on the completion and
addition of a block to the blockchain, at which time the economic benefit is received
and can be reliably measured. We are unable to reconcile your disclosure to the

of control of the service. Revise your accounting policy to comply with IFRS 15.
Tell us whether applying the corrected policy to historical periods results in a
material change to the historical financial statements presented.
•Tell us, and revise your accounting policy to disclose, the date at which you measure
the noncash consideration received for providing hash calculations to the pool
operator and how the measurement date relates to the date you transfer control of the
service under the contract.
•Revise your accounting policy to disclose the form of consideration to which you are
entitled for providing the service of performing hash calculations for the pool
operator (i.e., bitcoin) and your conclusion that the consideration is variable. Also,
revise your accounting policy to identify the formula used to determine the amount of
consideration to which you are entitled and describe the variables that comprise the
formula. For example, under the FPPS payout model it appears you earn
compensation equal to the sum of your share of (a) network block subsidies and (b)
network transaction fees less (c) pool operating fees and that each of these
components has a number of variables.
•Revise the statement in your accounting policy describing the transaction price to
clarify whether you constrain any portion of your estimate of the variable
consideration to which you are entitled for performing the service.

Filed July 14, 2023
Form 6-K filed May 15, 2023
File No. 001-40527
Dear
Mses. Tillan and Miller:
On
behalf of Digihost Technology Inc. (the “Corporation” or “Digihost”), I am responding to the comments contained
in the letter dated September 8, 2023 (the “Letter”) from the staff of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”
and, the staff of the Commission, the “Staff”) to Michel Amar, Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation, relating to the
Corporation’s Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the “2022 20-F”) and Form 6-K filed May 15, 2023
(the “Form 6-K”). The responses contained herein are keyed to the numbers of the comments in the Letter, which appear in
italics below for convenience of reference. Unless otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned to them
in the 2022 20-F, and all dollar amounts are expressed in United States dollars (“USD” or “$”).
Form
20-F for the Fiscal Year Ended December 31, 2022
General
1. You
disclose that all of your revenues in the past three years were from U.S. operations (page
22) and more than 50% of your assets were located in the U.S. for the past three years (page
F-30). Please tell us how you determined that you qualify as a foreign private issuer. Refer
to Securities Act Rule 405 and Exchange Act Rule 3b-4.
Response:
Under Securities Act Rule 405, a “foreign private issuer” is defined as:
“any
foreign issuer other than a foreign government except an issuer meeting the following conditions as of the last business day of its most
recently completed second fiscal quarter:
(i)
More than 50 percent of the outstanding voting securities of such issuer are directly or indirectly owned of record by residents of the
United States; and
December 22, 2023
Page 2
(ii)
Any of the following:
(A)
The majority of the executive officers or directors are United States citizens or residents;
(B)
More than 50 percent of the assets of the issuer are located in the United States; or
(C)
The business of the issuer is administered principally in the United States.”
The
definition of “foreign private issuer” in Rule 3b-4 of the Exchange Act is substantially the same. The determination of whether
more than 50 percent of an issuer’s outstanding voting securities are directly or indirectly owned of record by residents of the
United States is hereinafter referred to as the “50% test.”
Management
of the Corporation, utilizing data, including holders of record as well as a list of beneficial owners of the Corporation’s securities,
provided by a data service provider (the “data”), determined that it was a foreign private issuer during the fiscal period
covered by the 2022 20-F. The Corporation is a corporation incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and has
two outstanding classes of voting securities—subordinate voting shares (the “SV Shares”) and proportionate voting shares
(the “PV Shares”). As described in the 2022 20-F, the SV Shares and the PV Shares have identical rights, except that each
holder of PV Shares is entitled to 200 votes per PV Share, and each holder of SV Shares is entitled to one vote per SV Share. The Staff
has confirmed, as set forth in Securities Act Compliance & Disclosure Interpretation Question 203.17, that, in applying the 50% test,
an issuer may look to the absolute number of voting securities owned of record outside and inside the United States, or the voting power
of such securities. The Corporation, on information and belief, including based on the data, respectfully notes the following:
● Management
of the Corporation confirmed the Corporation’s status as a foreign private issuer in
connection with the filing on October 29, 2021 of Amendment No. 1 to the Corporation’s
registration statement on Form 40-F (File No. 001-40527), which was subsequently declared
effective by the SEC on November 12, 2021 (at which point the Corporation became an SEC reporting
company). As of October 28, 2021, 20,396,638 of the Corporation’s voting securities
were outstanding, 3,048,497, or 14.95%, of which were held by United States holders.
● As
of June 14, 2022, 29,550,439 of the Corporation’s voting securities were outstanding,
7,557,123, or 25.57%, of which were held by United States holders.
The
Corporation acknowledges that the data regarding the holders of its outstanding voting securities in 2022 was as of June 14, 2022, rather
than June 30, 2022 (the end of the Corporation’s second fiscal quarter). However, the Corporation supplementally notes for the
Staff that it reassessed its status as a foreign private issuer for 2024, and, based on the data, as of June 30, 2023, 28,600,831 of
the Corporation’s voting securities were outstanding, 6,283,874, or 21.97%, of which were held by United States holders. The Corporation
has no reason to believe that, if it had the data available to it as of June 30, 2022, the holders of its outstanding voting securities
would have caused it to fail to qualify as a foreign private issuer under the 50% test, in particular because (i) at each time when the
Corporation assessed its status as a foreign private issuer, it has been able to confirm that the percentage of the Corporation’s
outstanding voting securities held of record by United States holders was significantly below the 50% threshold and (ii) as of the most
recent assessment, the percentage decreased as compared to the prior year. On that basis, the Corporation concluded that (a) it was and
continues to be a foreign private issuer under the 50% test, and (b) an evaluation of its status as a foreign private issuer under part
(ii) of the foreign private issuer definition was not necessary.

2. We
note that your cost of digital currency mining increased 124% from $13.8 million in 2021
to $31 million in 2022 which you attribute to the increase in energy and infrastructure related
expenses in both New York and Alabama as well as the addition of incremental miners whereas
your hashrate only increased 63% from 400 PH/s in 2021 to 650 PH/s in 2022. We also note
that in 2021 you purchased 10,000 high performance Bitcoin miners for a total cost of $26.8
million. Please address the following:
● Disclose
a comprehensive breakeven analysis for your mining operations that compares the cost to earn/mine
one crypto asset with the value of the crypto asset.
Response:
Per the 2022 financial statements, the Company’s total operating costs for year respective years vs total coins mined were
as follows:
● Disclose
the range of the value of crypto for the periods presented and include the assumptions made
in determining value and other inputs in your calculations.
Response:
For periods presented, the Company used the below ranges of value in regard to the price of its crypto from CoinMarketCap. CoinMarketCap
is a pricing aggregator to determine the value of crypto in the periods presented (described in subsequent responses below in greater
detail). The range of prices varies depending on the period, but an example of the range used is below:

Paragraph
17 of IFRS 13 states that “an entity need not undertake an exhaustive search of all possible markets to identify the principal
market, but it shall take into account all information that is reasonably available. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the
market in which the entity would normally enter into a transaction to sell the asset is presumed to be the principal market”
The
Company utilizes CoinMarketCap and on a daily basis compares Bitcoin price to the price on Coinbase (its principal market for pricing)
during the periods presented. The difference in prices is immaterial.
● Disclose
the number of data miners available to mine, including as part of any hosting arrangements
that are included in digital currency mining cost.
Response:
Approximately 6,400 active miners as of December 31, 2021, available to mine. Miners per hosting arrangements as of December 31,
2021, 100. Approximately 15,637 active miners as of December 31, 2022, available to mine. Miners per hosting arrangements as of December
31, 2022, 3,450.

3. In
Note 25, you disclose a restatement of your fiscal 2021 financial statements. We note no
reference to this restatement in the audit opinion. Please request your auditors to tell
us how they considered whether to add an explanatory paragraph about the restatement to their
report. Refer to AS 3101.18(e) and AS 2820.09 and .16 - .17.
Response:
In response to your query concerning the absence of an explanatory paragraph in our audit opinion regarding the restatement of our fiscal
2021 financial statements, we provide the following elaboration, grounded in the specifics of PCAOB Auditing Standards AS 3101.18(e)
and AS 2820.09, .16, and .17.
Alignment
with AS 3101.18(e): According to AS 3101.18(e), an auditor’s
report should include an explanatory paragraph when certain conditions are met, particularly around matters that are of such importance
that they are fundamental to users’ understanding of the financial statements. In our case, the restatement adjustments, primarily
concerning the warrants, were identified and corrected in the preliminary stages of the financial year 2022. This preemptive rectification
meant the financial statements presented for auditing for the year ended December 31, 2022, already included these adjustments. Consequently,
the final audited financial statements accurately reflected the company’s financial position without necessitating an additional
explanatory paragraph, as the restatement did not have a material effect on the users’ understanding of the financial statements
for the year 2022.
December
22, 2023
Page 5
Compliance
with AS 2820.09, .16, and .17: AS 2820.09, 2820.16, and
2820.17 guide the auditor’s consideration of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. The nature and timing of
the restatement did not, in our professional judgment, raise substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going
concern. The adjustments were non-recurring and did not significantly affect our assessment of the company’s operational viability
or financial integrity. Therefore, an explanatory paragraph regarding the restatement was deemed unnecessary as per these standards.
In
summary, our decision not to include a specific explanatory paragraph about the restatement in our auditor’s report was a result of consideration
of the standards AS 3101.18(e) and AS 2820.09, .16, and .17. We determined that the restatement did not bear materially on the current
period’s financial statements nor on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern, thus rendering an additional explanatory paragraph
unnecessary.

The
Corporation relied on IFRS 9 guidelines to account for these options, accounting for them at fair value at the end of each quarter by
adjusting the position of the contract to marked-to-market, with gains or losses recognized in net income. When contracts are settled,
they are derecognized by removing the corresponding derivative asset or liability from the Statement of Financial Position. The offsetting
balance settles to cash and any resulting gain/loss is recorded through profit or loss.
Bitcoin
is not considered as cash, a currency, or a financial instrument. According to an IFRIC Agenda Decision (IFRIC update - March 2019),
cryptocurrency such as bitcoin is generally considered as an intangible asset within the scope of IAS 38, Intangible Assets. Paragraph
2.4 of IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, states the following regarding contracts to purchase a non-financial item, such as a BTC purchase
option:
“This
Standard shall be applied to purchase or sale contracts of a non-financial item that can be settled net in cash, another financial instrument,
or by exchanging financial instruments, as if these contracts were financial instruments, except for contracts entered into and held
for the purpose of receipt or delivery of a non-financial item in accordance with the entity’s expected purchase, sale, or usage requirements.
However, this Standard shall be applied to contracts that the entity designates as being measured at fair value through profit or loss
according to paragraph 2.5.” (emphasis added)
Paragraph
2.6 of IFRS 9 adds the following:
“There
are several ways for a purchase or sale contract of a non-financial item to be capable of being settled net in cash, another financial
instrument, or by exchanging financial instruments. This is the case in the following situations:
a)
when the contract conditions allow either party to settle net in cash, another financial instrument, or by exchanging financial instruments;
