BitFuFu Acquires 51MW Operational Data Center in Oklahoma, Expanding U.S. Mining Footprint
21 February 2025 - 1:00AM
BitFuFu Inc. (“BitFuFu” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: FUFU), a global
leader in Bitcoin mining and comprehensive mining services, today
announced that it has signed a definitive agreement and acquired a
majority ownership in a 51-megawatt (MW) operational Bitcoin mining
data center in Oklahoma. The transaction, priced at $400,000
per MW, is funded with cash from BitFuFu’s balance sheet and common
stock.
Strategic Benefits of the Acquisition
Located in Oklahoma, the acquired data center has been
operational since 2022, utilizing air-cooled container-based
infrastructure. The facility boasts a track record of over 95%
uptime and operates with a highly competitive net electricity cost
of approximately $0.03/kWh. This will enable BitFuFu to mine one
Bitcoin at a cash cost as low as $18,000 at this site, assuming the
deployment of AntMiner S21 XP, excluding depreciation of miners and
facilities.
In addition to its high-performance mining capabilities, the
site includes a fully integrated operations center which lays a
good foundation to build a state-of-the-art repair center to
enhance mining business and operational efficiency.
The facility benefits from cost-effective energy delivery and
operates within the Southwest Power Pool (SPP) - a highly stable
and regulated energy market. Oklahoma’s crypto-friendly regulatory
environment further strengthens the site’s long-term advantages,
with legislation such as the Oklahoma Commercial Digital Asset
Mining Act of 2022 and the Energy Discrimination Elimination Act
providing tax incentives for mining operations.
Scaling Hashrate & Hosting Services
BitFuFu plans to deploy AntMiner S21 series or higher efficiency
version of miners at this site, which will increase its total
managed hashrate scale by over 3EH/s. The site has sufficient land
for further expansion, pending the completion of a transmission
upgradation study by the utility company and SPP in mid-2025.
“We have made significant progress toward our 1GW Global
Capacity Expansion Plan,” said Leo Lu, Chairman and CEO of BitFuFu.
“This acquired data center in Oklahoma has built a highly efficient
mining operation, and we are excited to welcome them into the
BitFuFu family. It allows us to expand our self-mining operations,
enhance hosting services, and strengthen our cloud mining
platform.”
“Moreover, we executed a framework agreement to purchase from
BITMAIN up to 80,000 S-series miners (including but not limited to
the S21 XP and S21 Pro) in the fourth quarter of 2024, which will
greatly support our strategic 1GW Global Capacity Expansion Plan
and constantly improves the efficiency of our global hashrate
network under management. We aim to continuously create value for
our clients and shareholders-that philosophy drives our commitment
to operational excellence and continued expansion.”
