BITCOIN MINING COMPANY, GENESIS DIGITAL ASSETS, REVEALS EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS IN SOUTH CAROLINA

Genesis Digital Assets (GDA), a major Bitcoin mining company, has unveiled three new data centers in South Carolina, USA.

 

The company stated that the decision to open new data centers in that part of the country was influenced by its abundant and clean energy sources.

 

The mining sites, which are domiciled in the Western region of the southeastern state, began operations this year with a combined capacity of 33 megawatts (MW).

 

The first data center, domiciled near the town of Anderson, has been operational since February and has a total capacity of 18 MW.

 

The two other facilities, which are located between the towns of Union and Lockhart with a total capacity of 15 MW, have been running since March.

 

According to GDA, it is expanding its US-based data centers which now account for more than 2% of the total hash rate of the Bitcoin network.

 

The Head of North America, Ankit Joshi, said that the local communities welcomed the company warmly as an opportunity for their economy.

 

Since 2013, GDA has built over 20 industrial-scale mining farms across North America, Europe, and Central Asia, boasting a total power capacity of over 400 MW.
