By April 1, the Company intends to deploy additional miners in conjunction with a 7.5 MW mining capacity lease in North Dakota. Greenidge also signed Engineering, Procurement and Construction Management contracts in North Dakota and Texas, which are expected to increase revenue in a growing business line for Greenidge.

Greenidge CEO Jordan Kovler commented: “By expanding our self-mining capabilities in key territories, Greenidge will be able to continue increasing our mining load flexibility and optimizing our operations to supercharge growth. We are also pleased that these expansions will create new jobs for local residents in both Mississippi and North Dakota.
