Odaily星球日报讯 Bitcoin mining company Compass Mining announced the opening of a bitcoin mine on a five-acre site in Iowa, planning to achieve a capacity of 8 megawatts (MW) by January 2025 and further expand to 30 MW. The Iowa facility is part of Compass Mining's strategy to reduce reliance on third-party operators and own and manage its own infrastructure. The company had previously relied on external partners and is now shifting to direct ownership to mitigate third-party risks and enhance operational control. (Bitcoin.com)
