Business Wire
Soluna Holdings, Inc. (“SHI” or the “Company”), (NASDAQ: SLNH),
the parent company of Soluna Computing, Inc. (“SCI”), a developer
of green data centers for Bitcoin mining and other intensive
computing, announced today a 5 MW hosting contract with Compass
Mining (“Compass”) at its Project Dorothy data center in Texas.
Compass Mining is the world’s first and largest online
marketplace for Bitcoin mining hardware and hosting. Through its
network of partners with mining facilities located in the US and
Canada, Compass facilitates both large and small miner deployments
on behalf of its end-users.
The hosting contract entails a two year partnership between
Soluna and Compass for 5 MW of Bitcoin Mining at Project Dorothy
1A, Soluna’s data center which sources much of its energy from a
co-located wind farm. Project Dorothy 1A monetizes a substantial
amount of the curtailment experienced by the wind farm. In addition
to hosting, Soluna will provide O&M services for Compass.
John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Computing, commented, “We are
excited to partner with Compass who we view as an industry leader
in innovation and thought leadership in the Bitcoin mining space.
Through this partnership we continue to bring in high profile
hosting customers to our flagship renewable energy powered data
centers.”
“Compass Mining continues to seek diligent, qualified operations
teams to host our retail and institutional miners,” Thomas Heller,
co-CEO and Chief Mining Officer said. “We’re deeply impressed with
Soluna’s management team and project operations to date and excited
to offer Project Dorothy 1A as yet another hosting facility option
at Compass Mining.”
In the coming weeks Soluna will begin to commission hardware to
bring Compass online.
