Data center operator US Bitcoin Corp (USBTC) has announced it will host 8,500 Bitcoin miners from the insolvent crypto lender Celsius at its Alpha Site. 

A press statement on Aug. 31 revealed that the miners are expected to have an estimated hashrate of 820 petahash (PH).

The hosting arrangement is part of a more significant deal that could see USBTC managing as many as 310,000 Bitcoin (BTC) miners. These miners would belong to Celsius and other clients like Teslawatt, Foundry USA, Marathon Digital, Decimal Group, and Sphere 3D.

In May, USBTC, in collaboration with other partners in the Fahrenheit LLC consortium, won the auction to manage Celsius assets. These assets comprise a lending portfolio and approximately 122,000 mining machines.
