BitNile, a subsidiary of publicly traded Ault Alliance (AULT), is removing 6,572 mining rigs from a Texas facility that was formerly owned by Compute North, calling the site "no longer economically viable."
With 300 megawatts (MW) of power capacity, the Wolf Hollow site was acquired by lender Generate Capital after Compute North filed for bankruptcy protection in late September. U.S. Bitcoin Corp. (USBTC), which was also a Compute North client, is now managing operations at Wolf Hollow. USBTC this week agreed to merge with Hut 8 Mining (HUT).
