(USBTC), and has increased the expected self-mining capacity of the combined company. The companies now expect installed capacity of 7.5 EH/s compared with the 7.02 EH/s it had previous disclosed. The combined company will have mining faclities at Medicine Hat and Drumheller in Alberta, Canada; Niagara Falls, NY; Kearney, NE; and Granbury and King Mountain, TX.
