In addition to current production, expansion strategies adopted by both companies also provide a solid preparatory framework for the future. HIVE is converting 30 MW of its existing Bitcoin mining capacity to Tier-3 infrastructure for GPU operation to diversify. On the other hand, TeraWulf has embarked on constructing Building Five at the Lake Mariner Facility, intending to extend infrastructure capacity up to 50 MW in Q1 2025. These expansions suggest long-term plans to increase capacity and efficiency, although this halving has proven difficult.
