As part of the deal, Soluna will manage approximately 3.3 megawatts of Bitcoin mining operations for KULR at Soluna’s Project Sophie facility located in Kentucky. This partnership marks a first for Soluna, as they extend their services to a Bitcoin treasury-focused entity, diversifying their clientele beyond the standard Bitcoin miners and large-scale computing providers.
Additional Details:
“This partnership signifies a new avenue for serving the market,” noted John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna. “Companies that prioritize treasury management, such as KULR, are seeking sustainable and high-performing computing solutions to broaden their digital asset strategies. We are excited to be at the forefront of this shift, providing a versatile hosting model tailored to meet these emerging demands.”
The agreement underscores Soluna’s adaptive strategy in providing renewable energy-powered hosting options to match the growing needs of Bitcoin mining and related industries.
“This collaboration aligns with KULR’s dedication to innovation in digital asset management,” commented Michael Mo, CEO of KULR Technology Group. “By partnering with Soluna, we can participate in Bitcoin mining within a renewable, reliable, and highly efficient framework.” Mo added, “This is just the beginning. As KULR expands beyond Bitcoin mining into Battery Backup Unit (‘BBU’) solutions, Soluna is the ideal partner for future endeavors that focus on sustainable, cost-effective AI data center hosting utilizing stranded renewable energy.”
Insights from a BBU market analysis conducted by Custom Market Insights in July 2025 indicate a significant rise in the global BBU market, projecting growth from $29.22 billion in 2025 to $43.64 billion by 2034.
The planned 3.3 MW deployment at Project Sophie is slated to commence operations in the fourth quarter of 2025, solidifying Soluna’s position in environmentally conscious computing infrastructure.
Under the terms of this collaboration, KULR will capitalize on Soluna’s operational proficiency and market insights to oversee the sourcing, maintenance, and management of its mining hardware over the duration of the agreement. Utilizing a novel “Bitcoin Mining Lease” arrangement, Soluna will ensure guaranteed hashrate and uptime for KULR on a daily and monthly basis.
As more established entities like KULR integrate Bitcoin into their financial strategies, Soluna’s innovative model offers a mutually advantageous path to securing guaranteed hashrate without the complex operational challenges of mining. This partnership supports KULR’s previously announced Bitcoin Treasury Accumulation Strategy, which allocates up to 90% of the company’s surplus cash reserves to Bitcoin. Through its advanced hosting framework, Soluna empowers Bitcoin+ companies like KULR to leverage the benefits of Bitcoin mining while minimizing the hurdles of market volatility and outdated infrastructure.
On September 30, Soluna Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: SLNH), specializing in green data centers for high-intensity computing including Bitcoin mining and AI, and Canaan Inc. (NASDAQ: CAN), an innovator in crypto mining technology, announced a cooperative hosting agreement to deploy 20 megawatts (MW) of Avalon® A15 XP Bitcoin miners at Soluna’s Project Dorothy in Briscoe County, Texas.
Key Points:
This agreement stands as a pivotal achievement for both entities: Soluna is set to broaden its portfolio of renewable-powered digital infrastructure, while Canaan enriches its mining operations in North America by obtaining increased access to cost-effective and eco-friendly energy.
“Soluna is eager to initiate this new venture with an industry frontrunner such as Canaan,” conveyed John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna. “This agreement mirrors our shared objective of providing high-caliber computing solutions driven by renewable energy. With Project Dorothy 2 now fully operational, we are reinforcing our mission to position renewable energy as a global power source.”
Both entities anticipate that the miner deployment will occur in the first quarter of 2026. Canaan intends to leverage Soluna’s adaptable and economical infrastructure to power its Avalon fleet using wind energy, thereby amplifying the sustainability of its mining operations.
“Our collaboration with Soluna marks another substantial step in enhancing our self-mining strategy in North America. Each partnership we undertake introduces a fresh perspective to our expansion efforts in the region, and we are delighted to collaborate with Soluna, utilizing their cutting-edge data center facilities,” commented Nangeng Zhang, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Canaan. “The site primarily runs on behind-the-meter wind power, supplemented by grid access to ensure exceptional uptime. This combination provides both dependable operations and compelling cost advantages. Combining our efficient and durable Avalon® A15 XP miners with Soluna’s infrastructure should yield positive outcomes for both companies.”
Riot Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: RIOT), a leading Bitcoin-driven enterprise focused on the development of large-scale data centers and bitcoin mining applications, released unaudited production and operational updates for September 2025, reporting that Riot produced 445 Bitcoin during that month.
As noted by DisruptionBanking.com, “Riot Platforms, a prominent public Bitcoin miner, has been transforming its business model over the past year by developing a data center strategy that strategically leverages its extensive power portfolio.”
Earlier this year, Riot announced the appointment of Jonathan Gibbs as Chief Data Center Officer (“CDCO”), tasked with spearheading the development of Riot’s data center platform. In this capacity, Jonathan will oversee the strategic development and operation of this novel platform, concentrating on the creation and management of cutting-edge data centers specifically designed to accommodate hyperscale and enterprise clients.
Further Highlights:
The creation of this data center platform advances Riot’s broader strategy to optimize the value of its assets by expanding into non-bitcoin-related data centers. This diversification of revenue streams bolsters Riot’s capability to generate long-term cash returns for investors and strengthens its ability to secure contracts with leading technology companies worldwide.
