What does the CEO say? Greenidge’s CEO Jeff Kirt noted:

“This is a transformative year for Greenidge as we expect to more than triple our datacenter capacity to 4,7 EH/s, with the vast majority of the capacity expansion focused outside of the company’s original site in New York.”

The company recently began mining bitcoin in South Carolina, which the company says is already at 15% of its cumulative hashrate after three months of operation.
