LAS VEGAS, Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company (“Hyperscale Data,” or the “Company”), today announced the initiation of a cutting-edge pilot project aimed at exploring the feasibility of Bitcoin mining in the Gulf of Mexico. This project represents a unique collaboration, taking advantage of underutilized electrical power generated by turbines supplied by natural gas on an offshore structure off the coast of Louisiana operated by our project partner (the “Partner”).
The pilot program will involve the installation by Hyperscale Data of a mobile data center with approximately 100 Bitcoin miners on the Partner’s structure, which is a platform that collects gas from various offshore wells, for further transportation onshore. This mobile data center will utilize the electrical power generated from gas that is being held, but not ready for transportation, demonstrating an innovative approach to energy utilization, monetizing stranded assets and digital currency production.
“This pilot program provides the Company with a unique opportunity to explore new approaches to Bitcoin mining without adding pressure to an already stressed electrical grid. As the Company makes its transition to a pureplay data center business, it is important for the Company to explore new operational strategies to deploy its Bitcoin mining machines. We look forward to the outcome of the pilot, and if successful, instituting a larger program with our Partner,” stated William Horne, CEO of Hyperscale Data.
The pilot is expected to start in the coming weeks, once the mobile data center and Bitcoin mining machines are delivered to the structure, and is anticipated to run until February 2025, with the possibility of monthly renewals, until such time as sufficient data has been accumulated to determine the feasibility of a larger project. This strategic partnership underscores a shared vision for integrating cutting-edge technology with traditional energy practices to promote sustainability and economic efficiency.
