The new S21+ miners operate at 235 terahashes per second. This represents a 135% increase over the company’s previous S19J Pro miners.
Each S21+ unit produces approximately 2.35 Bitcoin for every Bitcoin generated by the older equipment. This should boost the company’s mining output in the coming year.
The Michigan facility sits on 34.5 acres and spans 617,000 square feet. The company plans to use this space for both Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure.
CEO William B. Horne said the dual approach makes sense for the business. The company can generate revenue from Bitcoin mining while building its AI capabilities.
Mining Operations Continue During AI Buildout
The AI infrastructure development will take time to complete. Bitcoin mining operations provide immediate value from existing infrastructure.
Executive Chairman Milton “Todd” Ault III called the strategy years in the planning. He said it brings together two powerful computing trends under one roof.
The facility will house both AI compute clusters and Bitcoin miners side by side. This setup maximizes the use of available space and power capacity.
NVIDIA servers will power the AI infrastructure. The company specifically mentioned next-generation Blackwell architecture hardware.
The mining upgrade comes after Bitcoin’s recent halving event reduced block rewards. Higher efficiency miners help offset this reduction in mining revenue.
Digital Asset Treasury Strategy
Hyperscale Data will not sell any of its mined Bitcoin. All newly mined coins will go into the company’s treasury.
The company issues weekly updates every Tuesday about its Bitcoin holdings. These reports also detail cash reserves set aside for dollar-cost averaging Bitcoin purchases.
Management believes pairing Bitcoin holdings with market capitalization benefits shareholders. The strategy treats Bitcoin as a corporate treasury asset.
The company continues its dollar-cost averaging program to acquire more Bitcoin. This program uses cash reserves separate from mining operations.
Hyperscale Data positions itself among US data center operators with exposure to both AI growth and digital assets. The Michigan location provides a strategic base for both operations.
The facility’s large size allows for future expansion of both mining and AI capabilities. As power capacity increases, both operations can scale up together.
The S21+ miners represent the latest generation of Bitcoin mining equipment available. Their higher efficiency should improve mining economics despite recent industry changes.
