The Energy Challenge in Crypto Mining

According to ScienceDirect, cryptocurrency mining data centers consume 100-200 times more energy than conventional office areas annually. Regulating power consumption, cooling mechanisms, and thermal control performance is essential for creating greener and more energy-efficient crypto-mining facilities.

WorldBusinessOutlook emphasizes that the evolution of data centers for crypto mining is driving both profitability and sustainability in the industry. These next-generation facilities incorporate advanced technologies to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impact. By using energy-efficient hardware and innovative cooling solutions, they ensure optimal performance while reducing operational costs. Many centers are powered by renewable energy sources, aligning with global efforts to reduce carbon footprints.

Key Partnerships and Innovations

KULR Technology Group, Inc. (NYSE American: KULR) has announced a new hosting partnership with Soluna Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLNH), a developer of green data centers for intensive computing applications. Under this agreement, Soluna will operate approximately 3.3 MW of Bitcoin mining capacity for KULR at its Project Sophie facility in Kentucky. This marks the first time Soluna has partnered with a Bitcoin treasury-focused company, expanding its reach beyond traditional miners.

John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna, stated, "This partnership represents a new chapter in how we serve the market. Treasury companies like KULR are increasingly seeking sustainable, high-performance computing infrastructure to diversify their digital asset strategies. We're proud to pioneer a flexible hosting model that meets this evolving demand."

Michael Mo, CEO of KULR Technology Group, added, "This collaboration supports KULR's commitment to strategic innovation in digital asset management. Partnering with Soluna allows us to engage in Bitcoin mining through a renewable, reliable, and operationally efficient framework. As KULR expands into Battery Backup Unit (BBU) solutions, Soluna is the ideal partner for future projects focused on sustainable, low-cost AI data center hosting powered by stranded renewable energy."

According to a BBU Market analysis by Custom Market Insights in July 2025, the global BBU Market is projected to grow from $29.22 billion in 2025 to $43.64 billion by 2034.

The 3.3 MW deployment at Project Sophie is expected to begin operations in Q4 2025, reinforcing Soluna's leadership in sustainable computing infrastructure. Through a "Bitcoin Mining Lease" structure, Soluna will deliver guaranteed hashrate and uptime targets to KULR, supporting its Bitcoin Treasury Accumulation Strategy, which commits up to 90% of surplus cash reserves to Bitcoin.

Expanding Renewable-Powered Infrastructure

On September 30, Soluna Holdings, Inc. and Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN), an innovator in crypto mining, announced a strategic hosting agreement to deploy 20 megawatts (MW) of Avalon® A15 XP Bitcoin miners at Soluna's Project Dorothy in Briscoe County, Texas. This partnership scales Soluna's renewable-powered digital infrastructure while Canaan strengthens its North American mining footprint with access to reliable, low-cost, and sustainable energy.

John Belizaire commented, "Soluna is thrilled to develop this new partnership with an industry leader like Canaan. This agreement reflects our shared commitment to delivering high-performance computing solutions powered by renewable energy."

Nangeng Zhang, Chairman and CEO of Canaan, noted, "Our partnership with Soluna is another significant step in advancing our North American self-mining strategy. The site primarily runs on behind-the-meter wind power but can also draw from the grid to ensure very high uptime, combining reliable operations with compelling cost efficiency."

Industry Leaders Driving Change

Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT), a Bitcoin-driven industry leader, announced unaudited production and operations updates for September 2025, producing 445 Bitcoin. According to DisruptionBanking.com, Riot has begun transforming its business with a data center strategy leveraging its extensive power portfolio.

Riot recently hired Jonathan Gibbs as Chief Data Center Officer to lead the development of a new platform focused on building state-of-the-art data centers for hyperscale and enterprise tenants. This move diversifies revenues and enhances capabilities to contract with leading technology companies, capitalizing on demand for digital infrastructure driven by cloud computing, AI, and other compute-intensive applications.

IREN Limited (NASDAQ: IREN), a developer of next-generation data centers powered by 100% renewable energy, recently doubled its AI Cloud capacity to 23k GPUs and is targeting over $500 million in AI Cloud annualized run-rate revenue (ARR) by Q1 2026.
