The latest development driving the hype around Natural Resource Holdings is its pending merger with Backbone Hosting Solutions Ltd., a cryptocurrency mining firm based in Quebec, which was announced last week in a filing with the Israeli securities regulator.

 

Founded in July, Backbone operates three server farms for mining virtual currency and says it mined $5 millions worth of crypto-coins in about a month’s time.
