Australian crypto mining company Mawson Infrastructure has purchased 17,352 ASIC bitcoin miners from Chinese manufacturer and Nasdaq-listed Canaan Creative, the company said Thursday.
- Mawson Infrastructure said the purchase of the new miners would add over 1.5EH to its existing operations. Mawson has now purchased over 3EH of ASIC bitcoin mining hardware.
- The mining company, which is based in Sydney, has operations in the U.S. and Australia.
- Mawson purchased 17,352 latest-generation Avalon A1166 and A1246 bitcoin miners, which it expects to deploy across Mawson’s flagship facility in the U.S. state of Georgia and its Australian site from Q4 2021 through 2022.
- “We again reiterate our end of CY21 goal of 2000 PH and end of CY22 goal of 5000 PH, and look forward to updating shareholders further on hardware purchases in due course,” James Manning, CEO Mawson Infrastructure, said in a statement.

What to know:
- Michael Terpin says the bull market peak came in the fourth quarter after the halving, in line with prior cycles.
- While dismissing $80,000 and $60,000 bottom calls as premature, he sees the potential for bitcoin to revisit the $50,000s or even $40,000s in a fragile market.
