Texas Wind Fuels Bitcoin Dream: 20MW Miners Arrive

Under the rustle of tall blades and the patient patience of wind, Soluna Holdings and Canaan Inc. sealed a hosting pact to lodge 20 megawatts of Avalon A15 XP bitcoin miners within Soluna’s wind-breathing Project Dorothy on the edge of Briscoe County, Texas.

Canaan’s Avalon A15 XP Rigs-A Letter to the Wind at Dorothy

Disclosed on Tuesday, the accord places Canaan to set down roughly one exahash per second of thought-made iron at the facility, which mostly sips from behind-the-meter wind power and can lean on the grid to keep uptime awake. The two parties say the installation should begin in the first quarter of 2026. 😅

Soluna, a maker of renewable-powered data sanctuaries, says the hosting will grant Dorothy extra hours of utilization, while Canaan, listed on Nasdaq as CAN, adds North American capacity to its Avalon miners. Both frame this as standard hosting: Soluna provides infrastructure; Canaan supplies machines. 😉

The Dorothy complex houses a modular cathedral of data-center infrastructure built for energy-hungry tasks. Dorothy 2 recently went online, part of a broader pipeline the company touts at more than 2.8 gigawatts of “Renewable Computing” projects aimed at bitcoin mining and AI. 🧭💡

The news arrives after Soluna’s August reveal that Galaxy Digital will deploy 48 megawatts of bitcoin-mining gear at Soluna’s Project Kati 1 in Texas, pushing that facility to its full 83 MW capacity. The Canaan hosting is a separate thread, tied to Dorothy alone. 🤝

Canaan says the Avalon A15 XP units will run on Soluna’s modular infrastructure at the wind-powered campus, chasing efficiency and a stubborn spark of reliability. Soluna trades on Nasdaq as SLNH. Shares of SLNH once slid more than 15% in five sessions, yet since last month they have leapt by about 422% – a rollercoaster where wind is not the only thing that rises. 📈🎢

Both parties praise the alchemy of renewable energy and grid access to smooth operations, with the first rigs expected to arrive ahead of the 2026 start. 🌬️⚡
