GDA Signs Purchase Agreement with Auradine for 1,000 Air-Cooled Miners
Genesis Digital Assets Limited (GDA), ranked among the largest Bitcoin mining companies globally by hash rate, today announced a formal purchase agreement with Auradine, a Silicon Valley provider of blockchain and AI infrastructure solutions. Under the agreement, GDA will take delivery of 1,000 Teraflux AT2880-277 air-cooled miners, one of Auradine's latest product innovations. All units are slated for installation at GDA's 40 MW data center located in Glasscock County, Texas. Abdumalik Mirakhmedov, Executive President of GDA, stated: "GDA's strategic priority is to combine operational excellence with long-term sustainability. Auradine's advanced mining systems offer the performance and flexibility we need to compete globally while staying aligned with our focus on responsible energy use, innovation, and a commitment to supporting the grid."
Technical Specifications and Energy Efficiency of the Miners
The Teraflux AT2880-277 air-cooled miner achieves a hash rate of up to 260 TH/s and an energy efficiency as low as 16 J/TH, delivering strong performance with relatively low power consumption, balancing computational power with environmental sustainability. Auradine CEO and Co-Founder Rajiv Khemani commented: "We are proud to partner with GDA, a company that exemplifies strategic leadership and operational discipline in the Bitcoin mining space. This collaboration underscores the importance of developing and deploying U.S.-based, energy-efficient mining infrastructure that secures the future of the Bitcoin Network and contributes to energy grid resilience."
Deployment Strategy: Participation in the ERCOT Demand Response Program
Once operational, the new miners will participate in Texas's ERCOT demand response program, which allows the facility to rapidly reduce or shut down load during peak electricity demand, providing flexible grid support and thereby strengthening GDA's growing contribution to enhancing power grid stability. This deployment highlights GDA's US expansion strategy, positioning Texas as a cornerstone of its operations because of its abundant renewable energy assets, regulatory alignment with the industry, and innovation-friendly environment.
Industry Context: Auradine's Recent Hardware Launches
Approximately one month ago, Auradine released its new line of mining products featuring high-performance ASIC chips, specialized cooling systems, and fully integrated modular containers engineered for scalable, megawatt-class mining operations. "Our goal is to democratize access to Bitcoin mining and enable innovative integrations," said Rajiv Khemani, CEO and Co-Founder of Auradine. "Whether you're running a megawatt container or building a small form-factor heater-miner for your home, we provide the chips, systems, and support to help you succeed. This new chapter is about giving miners the tools to innovate, scale, and operate efficiently."
