Flagship data center now 100% owned by Sysorex
With Ethereum north of $4,500, Sysorex owns more than $5.5 million in Ethereum generated by its mining operations, predominantly at this data center
HERNDON, Va., Nov. 04, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Sysorex (OTCQB: SYSX), the preeminent, U.S.-based, publicly traded Ethereum mining and technologies company, today announced that it has completed the acquisition of the remaining 50% of the upstate New York data center that houses the majority of its approximately 500 Gigahash of compute capacity, which is online, continuously mining Ethereum and securing the Ethereum Blockchain.
Up North Hosting LLC, a data center owner and operator in upstate New York, was previously jointly owned by businesses controlled by Sysorex’s recently appointed Chief Technology Officer, cryptocurrency industry veteran Brian Raymond, and Sysorex. Sysorex now owns 100% of the data center, which offers the Company immediate access to additional capacity to expand its mining operations. The purchase also included approximately 1000 GPUs, which presently increases mining capacity by approximately ten percent. The purchase price paid by Sysorex for the balance of the data center and GPUs was $1,000,000 and 1,000,000 shares of restricted Sysorex common stock.
“With a consolidated facility, Sysorex is well positioned to grow its Ethereum mining business with a better than industry average cost to support operations,” said Brian Raymond, Chief Technology Officer of Sysorex. “The large majority of Sysorex Ethereum mining systems are already deployed in this data center and Sysorex’s acquisition of the balance of the data center and the additional GPUs brings additional mining capacity online today and positions Sysorex to add meaningful mining capacity in the near future.”
“We are excited to complete this acquisition and further grow our operations,” commented Wayne Wasserberg, CEO of Sysorex. “Sysorex now owns 100% of its dedicated, Ethereum mining data center and nearly 11,000 GPUs outright. We now have more than $5.5 million in Ethereum in our treasury wallet at present value, and expect to mine more than 300 Ethereum per month on a go-forward basis, adding approximately $1.35 Million to our wallet monthly at the current market rate for Ethereum.”
“We are well positioned to further grow our Ethereum mining operations at this data center, which benefits from an excellent climate for mining and our competitive, renewable power purchase pricing,” added Mr. Raymond. “The flexibility of our facility and GPUs allows us to grow our Ethereum mining operations in the near term and expand in compute across the blockchain ecosystem.”
