CleanSpark and Bitfarms Accelerate HPC/AI Expansion in the U.S.

Key Players Bet Big on U.S. AI Future

CleanSpark recently announced the acquisition of 447 acres in Brazoria County, Texas, for a large-scale data center. This move will bring the company's total potential power capacity in the region to 890MW, dedicated to AI-driven high-performance computing. CleanSpark highlighted surging demand for AI capabilities and emphasized its ability to secure premium power resources, making it highly appealing to AI and computing clients.

Bitfarms Shifts Focus to North America

In parallel, Canadian crypto miner Bitfarms has exited Latin America entirely and plans to relocate its headquarters to the United States. This strategic move aims to tap into the richer capital and investor resources in North America, boosting its HPC and AI initiatives. Bitfarms' new Chairperson, Edie Hofmeister, noted that the company will maintain strong governance during the relocation to support future expansion.

Industry Trend: AI and Mining Go Hand in Hand

Beyond CleanSpark and Bitfarms, mining firms like Cipher Mining, Riot, and MARA are also investing in AI and HPC infrastructure across the U.S. Some companies have started integrating Bitcoin mining with AI computing to adapt to market shifts and diversify their operations.
