FORT Provides Corporate Update on Strategic Venture with GAM Fortress Technologies Inc. (TSX-V: FORT) (the “Company” or “Fortress”), a Bitcoin company that develops and operates world-class bitcoin mining infrastructure, is pleased to provide an update on operations and business development in its strategic venture with Great American Mining (“GAM”). GAM’s containerized bitcoin mining datacenters monetize wasted, stranded, and undervalued gas by using it as a power generation source for bitcoin mining.
With the recent delivery of three additional containers, the Fortress and GAM bitcoin mining operation is now producing 92 PH/s across seven containers in the field. The deployment of these additional three containers brings Fortress’s company-level active hash rate to 114 PH/s.
The delivery of the final five containers under the GAM partnership has been delayed due to supply chain disruptions. These containers are expected to be delivered incrementally throughout the course of Q4 2021. Once deployed, the final five containers will bring total hash rate under the Fortress and GAM partnership to 158 PH/s across 12 containers. These final five containers will bring Fortress’s company-level active hash rate to 195 PH/s.
“We are excited to deploy these additional containers and utilize more flared gas for bitcoin mining, converting otherwise-wasted energy into the scarcest asset humanity has ever known,” said Drew Armstrong, President and Chief Operating Officer of Fortress Technologies. “We appreciate the Great American Mining team and their hard work in overcoming supply chain difficulties to get these containers up and hashing,” Armstrong added.
