02 September 2021 - 11:30PM
Fortress Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: FORT) (the
“
Company” or “
Fortress”) is
pleased to announce that Mr. Marcus Dent will be joining the
Company’s Board of Directors effective immediately.
Mr. Dent is a well-respected thought leader in the industry
growing around the Bitcoin network. Leveraging his background in
economics, finance, and design, Mr. Dent has developed a Bitcoin
and free markets-focused media company, which he operates under the
pen name Marty Bent, that has educated millions of people about the
potential for Bitcoin to be a positive impetus for change in an
increasingly digital and connected world. In addition, Mr. Dent is
the Director of Business Development at Great American Mining LLC
“GAM”), a Bitcoin mining company focused on
off-grid mining and which uses low-cost non-rival energy sources
such as natural gas that would otherwise be flared throughout oil
fields. The Company is currently a partner with GAM, which is
building and deploying 12 mobile mining containers that are
expected to produce up to 158 PH/s of Bitcoin mining capacity while
simultaneously reducing fugitive methane emissions, providing a
supplementary revenue stream for the oil and gas operator, and
making the economy more energy efficient.
Management and Directors join Chairman of the
Board, Roy Sebag, in welcoming Mr. Dent. Mr. Sebag further
commented, “We are honored to be welcoming Marty Bent as the newest
member of our Board of Directors at Fortress. Marty and I have been
discussing opportunities within the bitcoin landscape for some time
now. I have learned a great deal from him and we both believe the
timing is right to transform Fortress into a leading bitcoin
focused publicly traded company. I feel confident that Marty will
help the board unlock significant shareholder value while helping
us craft the right long-term strategy for our business.”
The Company also announces that it has granted
options to acquire a total of 2,000,000 common shares of the
Company to Mr. Dent at the exercise price of $0.49 per share for a
period of five years, subject to vesting requirements.
