Riot Platforms Partnership Brings Production of MicroBT's ASICs to America
"Landmark deal includes an initial purchase of 33,280 miners to increase self-mining capacity to 20.1 EH/s upon full deployment in 2024. Agreement also includes an option to purchase up to 66,560 additional miners at same terms."
- “These new models are among the most powerful and efficient miners ever made for Bitcoin mining and are designed and produced specifically for immersion cooling systems, such as those that will be used at our Corsicana Facility. These new miners will contribute an additional 7.6 EH/s to Riot’s self-mining capacity when fully deployed and will further enhance our already strong fleet efficiency in advance of the upcoming Bitcoin halving,” said Jason Les, CEO of Riot.
"In addition, Riot and MicroBT’s new partnership will secure a robust domestic supply chain in the United States, increasing domestically produced options for Bitcoin miners and marking a significant milestone for the industry. MicroBT will manufacture these miners at a facility in Pittsburgh, PA, which will lead to the creation of new, highly skilled jobs in the local area."
- “The M56S+ and M56S++ are the most powerful machines we have ever developed and represent the culmination of major technological advancements made by our engineering teams. All machines purchased by Riot will be manufactured in our facility in the United States, and this order will drive expansion of our operations allowing us to hire and train new staff to fulfill our growing United States-based manufacturing business,” said Jordan Chen, COO of MicroBT.
