DRESDEN, N.Y. and DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, Nov. 10,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc.
(NASDAQ: GREE) ("Greenidge") today announced it has been selected
by Bitmain as one of five global launch customers for Bitmain's
newly announced ANTMINER S19 XP. The S19 XP technology requires
approximately 27% less electricity per terahash than the most
efficient bitcoin mining equipment currently available in the
market.
"We are excited to be chosen as a launch partner for this latest
release from Bitmain," said Greenidge's CEO Jeff Kirt. "The ANTMINER S19 XP demonstrates a
step-function increase in efficiency for our industry, and we are
excited to deploy this next generation technology at one of our
100% carbon-neutral facilities."
"Greenidge's commitment to carbon-neutral bitcoin mining makes
it the ideal launch partner for the ANTMINER S19 XP," said
Irene Gao, Bitmain Business
Development Director of the NCSA Region for Bitmain. "Like
Greenidge and many of our customers, Bitmain is dedicated to
improving the carbon footprint of the bitcoin mining industry. That
is why we're thrilled to announce not only the S19 XP but also
the green ANTMINER S19 XP. Bitmain is manufacturing a limited
addition of green ANTMINER S19 XP and is offsetting 100% of
the carbon footprint associated with the production and the first
year's operation of these miners by purchasing carbon offset
credits."
The launch order of green ANTMINER S19 XP miners will be
delivered in the third quarter of 2022. Greenidge intends to deploy
the units at a facility to be developed in South Carolina or Texas. This order brings Greenidge's current
and committed mining capacity to approximately 49,000 miners and
4.7 EH/s by the end of 2022. It also solidifies the company's
position as a leading environmentally conscious miner focused on
driving maximum efficiency of its fleet while maintaining a
carbon-neutral footprint.
The ANTMINER S19 XP has 21.5 joules/TH of efficiency compared to
Bitmain's previous S19 Pro technology of 29.5 J/TH. The units will
consume 27% less energy per terahash and will deliver 37% more
computing power per kilowatt hour than current technology.
