Core Scientific is expected to receive the units, which would potentially add 4.1 exahashes to its hash rate, in the fourth quarter this year.
The mining company filed for bankruptcy last December following a drop in revenue and rising energy prices. It hopes to emerge out of bankruptcy as early as this month, according to comments from a federal judge overseeing the case in May.
“Core Scientific is an important contributor to the strength and stability of the Bitcoin Network, and we look forward to working closely with their team to help realize Bitcoin’s full potential" Bitmain CEO Max Hua said in the press release.
