Huge Texas Landowner Announces Bitcoin Mining Venture
Texas Pacific Land Corporation (NYSE: TPL), Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (NYSE: MIGI), and JAI Energy have come together to develop 60 megawatts of Bitcoin mining on TPL’s surface in West Texas.
This strategic alliance will mark the beginning of TPL’s journey into Bitcoin. The agreement conditions are as follows: Mawson the owner and operator of the Bitcoin hardware could accommodate up to 2.0 Exahash of Bitcoin mining operational capacity. TPL and JAI will then earn net royalty interest and keep an option to acquire an equity stake in Mawson.
Currently Mawson and JAI have four locations planned to be developed in Texas along with two located on TPL’s surface. Operations are likely to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022.
“We believe TPL’s extensive surface footprint in West Texas can serve as a premier destination for the Bitcoin mining industry, providing site locations proximate to existing grid infrastructure and excellent solar and wind resources for future renewable power procurement,” said Tyler Glover, CEO of TPL.
Oil and Gas in Texas seem to be a rapidly emerging opportunity for Bitcoin mining in the United States. “As a former long-time professional in the oil and gas industry, I believe that Bitcoin can serve as a great compliment to the oil patch and together achieve success,” says Justin Ballard, founding partner of JAI Energy.
