Peter Wall, Argo CEO said: “We are incredibly excited about this proposed acquisition. It gives us tremendous control over our mining operations, as well as significant capacity for expansion, with access to some of the cheaper renewal energy worldwide.
The 4,500 new machines will be hosted by @Core_Scientific, which will provide physical hosting and access to electrical power at Core’s existing facilities in the US. The partnership enables Argo to gain access to extremely competitive rates on hosting and power.
