The bitcoin mining operation, Mawson Infrastructure Group, Inc., announced that the firm has broken ground at a new site in Sharon, Pennsylvania. Reports detail that Mawson has delivered six modular production units capable of housing 3,528 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) bitcoin miners, or approximately 12 megawatts (MW) of capacity. The new Mawson site is capable of reaching 4.2 exahash per second (EH/s) when fully complete.

Sharon, a city in western Mercer County, Pennsylvania, now has a bitcoin mining facility used by Mawson Infrastructure Group, a crypto mining operation and digital infrastructure provider. Mawson told the Youngstown Publishing’s Business Journal Daily that the company delivered six modular data centers capable of holding approximately 3,528 ASIC mining rigs.

The miners will consume 12 MW of capacity, but the site can hold up to 35,280 ASIC bitcoin mining rigs, according to Mawson. The firm said the more than 35,000 mining rigs will produce around 4.2 EH/s of SHA256 hashpower, and the first 12 MW will be online during the next quarter.

Bitcoin miners, in general, have had a hard time dealing with the crypto market’s downturn, and some mining operations went bankrupt due to losses. However, 2023 has been better as BTC prices have increased significantly over the past two months. On the same token, the network’s difficulty reached an all-time high this week at 43.05 trillion hashes.
