Data center developer Soluna has announced the expansion of hosting contracts in Texas for two existing cryptomining customers: Blockware and Compass Mining.

Earlier this week, Soluna renewed the 5MW hosting contract for Compass Mining at its Project Dorothy 1 site, and increased Compass’ capacity by a further 8MW while expanding into its Project Dorothy 2 site.

A few days earlier, Soluna announced that Blockware had increased its contracted footprint by 3MW, taking Blockware’s total deployment up to 8MW.

Blockware’s capacity increase comes just under two months after it signed its initial 5MW deal with Soluna. Soluna’s delivery of 1,500 of Blockware’s latest S21+ crypto mining machines went live on April 21, and were expected to amount to 250 PHps to 350 PHps of crypto mining draw.

With 8MW now deployed, Blockware’s expected crypto mining draw equates to around 450-550 PH/s of hashrate. Based on the listed power consumption of the S21+ mining machines used by Blockware, and the average electricity costs in Texas, this could equate to Bitcoin mining earnings of around $26,000 per day.

“We’re excited to deepen our relationship with Blockware,” said Soluna CEO John Belizaire, adding: “This expansion is a testament to the trust we’ve built together and a reflection of the momentum our Project Dorothy platform is generating in the market. We’re proud to be the partner Blockware chooses to scale with.”

Compass Mining was one of Soluna’s first customers at its Dorothy 1 site in 2023. Belizaire sees Compass Mining’s capacity expansion as a vote of continued confidence in Soluna.

“Compass Mining was one of the first to bet on us. Years later, they’re still betting on Soluna and scaling with us. This renewal and expansion is a testament to our relentless stewardship and the trust we build with every customer,” said Belizaire.

Soluna currently has six data center projects either constructed or in development. Earlier this year, the company made a jump into AI mining when it took on Atlas Cloud as a customer, for whom it will provide the computing power for AI video processing workloads.
