Bitcoin miner Core Scientific is repurposing its Texas site into a 1.5GW data center to support growing artificial intelligence infrastructure demands.Summary
Core Scientific is transitioning its operations by developing a large-scale data center campus in Pecos, Texas, with a target capacity of 1.5 gigawatts. The initiative aims to capitalize on the increasing demand for artificial intelligence computing infrastructure, with approximately 300 megawatts of existing Bitcoin mining capacity being repurposed for AI workloads. Construction is underway, with the first capacity expected in early 2027. This move reflects a broader industry trend among Bitcoin miners, such as TeraWulf and Hut 8, who are diversifying into AI and high-performance computing to offset tightening mining margins.
