Sangha Renewables Begins Construction on $42M Bitcoin Mining Project in Texas

Sangha Renewables, a bitcoin mining firm focused on renewable energy integration, has begun construction on a 19.9 MW solar facility in West Texas.

  • The project aims to allow renewable energy companies to mine bitcoin efficiently.
  • Spencer Marr, president of Sangha, emphasized the early investment in electrical infrastructure to expedite mining operations.
  • The approach targets renewable projects that face production and demand mismatches, enabling them to profit from excess electricity by switching to bitcoin mining rather than selling at a loss.
  • The facility is expected to generate $42 million in revenue within the first year and produce approximately 900 bitcoin over ten years.
  • Electricity costs for the project will range from 2.8 to 3.2 cents per kilowatt-hour, providing a significant discount on bitcoin acquisition.
  • Construction is projected to finish by late July, with mining commencing shortly after.
  • Sangha has raised $14 million towards its $17 million equity round target, securing 82% so far.
  • By fall, the company anticipates utilizing smart contract technology to distribute returns to investors in bitcoin.
