Global Top Mining Firm Buys 1,000 New Air-Cooled Miners
Genesis Digital Assets (GDA), one of the world's largest Bitcoin mining companies by hash rate, announced today it has entered into a purchase agreement with Auradine, a Silicon Valley-based provider of blockchain and AI infrastructure solutions. Under the agreement, GDA will receive 1,000 Teraflux AT2880-277 air-cooled miners, one of Auradine's latest inventions. The company plans to install them all at its 40 MW data center in Glasscock County, Texas.
Abdumalik Mirakhmedov, Executive President of GDA, said: "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." The agreement marks a continued expansion of GDA's hash rate deployment in its core U.S. market.
Miners Deliver High Performance and Grid Support in Texas
The Teraflux AT2880-277 air-cooled miner achieves up to 260 TH/s hash rate with energy efficiency as low as 16 J/TH, delivering both performance and sustainability. Once operational, the new machines will participate in Texas's ERCOT demand response program, helping stabilize the power grid during peak demand periods and further strengthening GDA's contribution to grid reliability. Rajiv Khemani, CEO and Co-Founder of Auradine, said: "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."
Texas as the Cornerstone of GDA's U.S. Strategy
This deployment reflects GDA's U.S. expansion strategy, positioning Texas as a cornerstone due to its renewable energy assets, regulatory alignment with the industry, and innovation-friendly environment. The company's President also emphasized responsible energy use and support for the local grid. A month ago, Auradine released a 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 Auradine CEO Khemani. "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."
