Key Q&A
Q:Can you share more on how you are thinking about the economics and CapEx differences for the Vera Rubin GPU infrastructure compared to Blackwell?
A:Ben Gagnon explained that the economics for Vera Rubin GPUs are driven by increasing infrastructure shortages and specific GPU model requirements. The energy density for Vera Rubin GPUs will be significantly higher, making older infrastructure incompatible. This dynamic is expected to drive higher economics as companies will be incentivized to deploy these GPUs despite higher infrastructure costs. However, no firm price point was provided.
Q:How should we think about the wind down of your mining operations in the coming years, specifically regarding the pace and timing of hash rate coming offline?
A:Ben Gagnon stated that the wind down will be orderly, with the LATAM export and the sale of the Paso Pe facility (representing under 20% of hash rate) being key steps. The company plans to reinvest the free cash flow from these operations into HPC and AI infrastructure. The Washington site is expected to come offline mid-2026, with other sites following gradually as they are converted to HPC and AI.
Q:When do you expect to expand the power capacity at Panther Creek and Scrubgrass?
A:Ben Gagnon mentioned that the conversion of the ISA to an ESA and additional load study at Panther Creek are progressing, but the timing is uncertain. Phase 3 and Phase 4 expansions are planned, with Phase 4 likely happening in 2028. The conversion could happen quickly or take several months, depending on regulatory approvals.
Q:Does the CapEx figure for converting Bitcoin mining to host GPUs include the GPUs?
A:No, the CapEx figure does not include GPUs or some construction costs. Ben Gagnon noted that attractive financing options for GPUs could keep the CapEx requirement low, focusing primarily on infrastructure expenses.
Q:What is your preference for capital allocation between colocation and cloud businesses?
A:The Washington site is prioritized to be fully online first, followed by the Sharon site. The company is managing critical paths and project timelines while ensuring affordability. Colocation is easier to finance for larger campuses, while cloud is more cost-effective for smaller sites like Washington.
Q:Can you clarify the counterparty to the $128 million critical IT supply agreement for Washington?
A:The counterparty is a large publicly traded American national company that supplies data center equipment and services, not T5.
Q:What makes GPU as a service compelling relative to standard colocation?
A:Ben Gagnon highlighted that GPU as a service offers strong free cash flow potential and allows the company to demonstrate its capabilities as both a developer and operator. The Washington site could be worth significantly more than the entire Bitcoin mining business, providing a strong foundation as mining winds down.
Q:What are the biggest challenges to meeting timelines for Washington, Sharon, and Panther Creek?
A:Ben Gagnon identified construction as a potential bottleneck but emphasized the importance of having strong partners, project managers, and strategic planning to mitigate risks. Specific bottlenecks were not pinpointed.
Q:Can you provide a framework for 2026 CapEx?
A:Ben Gagnon stated that 2026 CapEx figures are uncertain due to the new Vera Rubin infrastructure. NVIDIA's validated reference designs are expected in Q1 2024, which will provide more clarity on CapEx implications for 2026 and 2027.
Q:How are you thinking about future-proofing against the rapid evolution of hardware like Vera Rubin GPUs?
A:The company plans to build infrastructure for current hardware while locking in multiyear agreements to recover investments. They aim to build for upcoming technology rather than existing technology to avoid obsolescence.
Q:How much time is spent on M&A opportunities, and where does it rank in capital allocation?
A:Virtually no time is spent on M&A opportunities. The focus is on executing the existing portfolio, which is seen as the best opportunity for value creation.
Q:How are you thinking about the Bitcoin treasury as mining operations wind down?
A:The company does not aim to operate as a Bitcoin treasury. The Bitcoin treasury will wind down into strength and be allocated to CapEx investments.
Q:What is your confidence in acquiring GPUs on a timely basis, and would you go through a distributor with financing?
A:Ben Gagnon expressed high confidence in sourcing GPUs for the Washington site by the end of next year. The company is evaluating financing options through OEM manufacturers, which could provide turnkey solutions and attractive financing.
Q:What exahash number should be used for Q4?
A:The exahash rate for continuing operations should remain consistent in Q4. The impact of the Paso Pe sale is uncertain but will be adjusted in 2026 as HPC and AI development progresses.
Q:What is the reaction from potential customers for GPU as a service, and how confident are you in contracting them?
A:Conversations with potential customers are new but promising. The company is evaluating customer needs and believes the economics are compelling, especially for smaller sites like Washington.
Q:How do you see the global Bitcoin hash rate evolving as miners transition to HPC?
A:Ben Gagnon expects the hash rate to continue evolving at the same rate, but growth may face headwinds if Bitcoin prices do not rise. Public miners transitioning to HPC and AI could reduce available infrastructure for Bitcoin mining, leading to a shift to lower-cost jurisdictions.
Q:Do you see opportunities for broader megawatt redeployment?
A:The company does not see significant opportunities for redeploying Bitcoin mining assets. The focus is on converting free cash flow from mining into HPC and AI investments.
Q:Can you quantify the premium on dollar per kilowatt for power in Pennsylvania or Washington versus Texas?
A:Ben Gagnon estimated that Pennsylvania could secure $140-$150 per kilowatt per month, potentially rising to $180 if construction risks are mitigated. The company aims to maximize dollar per kilowatt to achieve higher revenue and profit margins.
Q:How are you connecting data centers into one campus, and what is the impact on performance?
A:The company is exploring a regional campus strategy with direct fiber connections to reduce latency below 2 milliseconds. Facilities in Montreal are close enough to make this cost-effective and scalable.
Q:Review of Unclear Management Responses
A:Management avoided providing specific details on the exact economics and CapEx for Vera Rubin GPUs, the timing of power capacity expansion at Panther Creek, and the 2026 CapEx framework. Additionally, they did not pinpoint specific construction bottlenecks or provide clear customer contract timelines for GPU as a service.
