Compass Mining Expands Operations into Kentucky with New 10 Megawatt Partnership
Compass will lease Cathedra's state-of-the-art facility for its Bitcoin mining operations under a profit-sharing agreement
WILMINGTON, Del., Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Compass Mining ("Compass" or the "Company"), a leading provider of Bitcoin mining hardware, hosting, and services, today announced its partnership with Cathedra Bitcoin (TSX-V: CBIT; OTC: CBTTF) ("Cathedra"), a digital infrastructure company, to co-locate 10 megawatts (MW) of Bitcoin mining equipment at one of Cathedra's data centers in Kentucky. This collaboration is set to increase Compass's capabilities, ensuring enhanced services and operational stability for its customers.
Under the terms of the agreement, Compass will manage the mining operations at the facility, covering pass-through power costs, while sharing Bitcoin mining profit with Cathedra. Both parties intend to expand this partnership beyond the initial 10 MW to other sites in the future.
"We're thrilled to partner with Cathedra," said Paul Gosker, CEO of Compass Mining. "The Kentucky data center meets Compass's high uptime and reliability standards for all its partner sites, and the location offers a stable power grid and favorable regulatory environment. By leveraging Cathedra's infrastructure, we will have even greater flexibility and control over our Bitcoin mining services."
This partnership builds on Compass's ongoing efforts to expand its footprint in different regions, following recent successful energizations of 4,000 mining machines in Iowa and 2,400 in Nebraska. With nearly 50 MW of power capacity brought online across facilities in Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Texas in 2024 alone, Compass plans to add an additional 20 MW by the end of the year.
Compass Mining's geographic expansion and strategic partnerships, such as this collaboration with Cathedra, ensure a consistent and profitable mining experience for its customers. Whether hosting at one of Compass's facilities or purchasing hardware through its user-friendly platform, clients benefit from the Company's vast experience, expert customer service, and a growing portfolio of energy-efficient mining sites in varying power markets.
"Our goal has always been to make Bitcoin mining accessible for everyone, regardless of size or expertise," said Gosker. "With our continued growth, both new and existing customers can trust Compass to deliver world-class mining services backed by our growing expertise, and the infrastructure required to succeed."
"We are very excited to be working with Compass Mining, a company that has demonstrated their ability to mine bitcoin at scale through multiple market cycles," remarked Cathedra President and COO Drew Armstrong.
