Hut 8 plans to deploy this miner through a hosting agreement of approximately 15 EH/s in the second quarter of 2025. This initiative aims to support Hut 8's internally developed custom data center infrastructure. The U3S21EXPH will be Bitmain's first mass-produced U-shaped ASIC miner, featuring direct liquid-to-chip (DLC) cooling technology.
