US cryptomining firm CleanSpark is to acquire two sites in Wyoming to develop Bitcoin data centers.
The locations offer 75MW of IT capacity in a deal valued at $18.75 million.
Once fully operational, the sites are expected to offer more than 4 exahashes per second of mining capacity.
The deal is set to close in 45 days, and the company plans to break ground on the new facilities shortly thereafter. The agreement includes the potential for expansion by an additional 55MW.
The exact locations of the sites are not known.
The company said it will deploy a combination of S21 and S21 Pro Bitcoin mining machines to help it achieve its target of 50 exahashes per second.
Zach Bradford, CEO at CleanSpark, said: “Today I’m pleased to share that we are continuing our journey with our westward expansion into Wyoming. Diversifying our portfolio is integral to our strategy and we are well positioned to take advantage of similar acquisitions in the wake of the halving.”
The acquisition will expand the company’s footprint to three US states; Nevada, Mississippi, and Wyoming.
Headquartered in Nevada, CleanSpark owns and operates eight data centers across the US. The company acquired three Bitcoin mining sites in Mississippi in February this year.
The company also colocates approximately 50MW of capacity at a data center in New York.
