By reallocating high-density power capacity away from traditional digital asset mining toward high-performance computing, the company has capitalized on unprecedented demand for data center space driven by enterprise tech companies and AI model developers.<\/p>\n<p>This realignment fits into a broader trend across North American power infrastructure providers. Following the quadrennial Bitcoin halving in April 2024, which reduced block reward emissions, digital infrastructure firms have increasingly pivoted toward long-term colocation contracts.
