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 applications, announced today it has made significant progress on its commercialization plan for Project Dorothy and Project Sophie, deploying more than 30 MW of equipment at Project Dorothy and bringing Project Sophie fully operational.
