Bitcoin mining firm Bit Origin has announced that the company has secured a $6.74 million investment to build a new mining facility in Cheyenne, Wyoming. The data center will be a new 25-megawatt (MW) site that aims to accommodate between 4,480 to 8,400 bitcoin miners.
Ahead of Bitcoin Halving, Bit Origin Announces Major Investment in Cheyenne Mining Facility
Toward the end of 2023, a great deal of capital is being leveraged for bitcoin mining ahead of the halving event in April. Bit Origin (Nasdaq: BTOG) has revealed it entered a securities purchase agreement with ATW Digital Asset Opportunities to sell $24.74 million of convertible notes. The first tranche of $6.74 million will be utilized to craft a new 25 MW bitcoin mining facility.
Bit Origin expects the data center to be completed by early Q2 2024 and it expects to garner “substantial revenue and cash flow generation” in H2 2024. “We are very pleased to partner with ATW again, and this new financing is a critical component to fund our new Auspice Project,” the CEO of Bit Origin Lucas Wang said in a statement.
Wang added:
We are excited that the Auspice Project will adopt eco-friendly immersion cooling technology and we are honoured to have ATW to support our vision.
Bit Origin’s move comes after a slew of mining companies have been spending big bucks on expansions. For instance, the mining firm Cipher closed a deal on a new ERCOT-approved facility in Texas. The Miner Weekly from theminermag.com details that today’s top miners have spent $1.2 billion before the halving.
As the halving approaches, the future remains shrouded in uncertainty. Bitcoin miners, including Bit Origin, are making significant investments, betting on a post-halving surge. This period marks a critical juncture in the BTC landscape, where the outcome could greatly influence the mining sector’s profitability and the broader market dynamics.
