Blockstream has started construction on the all-solar Bitcoin miningmining facility it’s building in Texas with Block, Inc. and Tesla.
The partnership was announced last year, when Block (formerly known as Square) committed $5 million to the project. According to Blockstream, the facility will be completed by the end of 2022.
The solar mining operation will use Tesla photovoltaics and Megapack battery equipment to run entirely on renewable energy. The 3.8 megawatt (MW) Tesla solar array and 12 megawatt-hour (MWh) battery will generate 30 petahashes per second of mining power.
Hash rateHash rate refers to the total combined computational power used to mine and process transactions.
At the current Bitcoin price of $43,676.41, the facility could mine roughly 4.11 BTC per month, according to Cryptocompare.
We're excited to share our collaborative effort with @Blocks to build a fully solar-powered #BitcoinMining facility has begun.@Tesla photovoltaics & Megapack will power the 30 PH/s facility, aiming to show the world 100% zero-emission #Bitcoin mining at scale is viable. ☀️🔋 pic.twitter.com/C1YVyn5ktS

To put that into perspective, the Blockstream facility will be very small compared to the 300 MW operation that RIOT Blockchain has built at Whinstone U.S., a former Alcoa aluminum plant, in Rockdale, Texas. When the RIOT operation is complete, the 100-acre site will generate 750 MW of power.
But Blockstreams and its partners haven’t necessarily set out to build the biggest North American Bitcoin mining facility. They want to show that it can be done with all renewable energy.
“This is a step to proving our thesis that bitcoin mining can fund zero-emission power infrastructure and build economic growth for the future,” Blockstream co-founder and CEO Adam Back told CNBC at the Bitcoin 2022 conference in Miami.
To that end, Blockstreams plans to maintain a public dashboard so that people can see its power output and Bitcoin production. A later version will also report on uptime, power storage and solar power being generated by the Tesla array.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, has long said he wants to see more Bitcoin mining rely on renewable energy sources.

A China-based travel booking firm has told U.S. regulators that its plans to establish a $300 million XRP treasury—a corporate-strategy play that has become all the rage among a small crop of public companies following a recent upswing in the cryptocurrency market, despite apparent risks. Webus International filed on Tuesday a Form 6-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission detailing its plans to add the Ripple-linked XRP token to its balance sheet. The Nasdaq-listed firm entered into an ag...
A Korean entertainment firm’s stock soared 143% on Wednesday, shortly after it vowed to allocate a good chunk of its new $500 million raise toward building a Bitcoin treasury—a corporate strategy that’s become increasingly popular among public companies as the price has risen in recent months. K Wave Media, which is listed on the NASDAQ, recently entered into an agreement to sell up to $500 million worth of its common stock to Bitcoin Strategic Reserve KMW, with the aim of reinvesting the procee...
Crypto exchange startup Rails said on Wednesday it has launched its trading platform after raising millions backed by investors including Kraken, CMCC Global, Slow Ventures, Round13 Capital, and Quantstamp. The $14 million raise brings the company’s total funding to $20 million to date, following a $6 million equity round completed in March last year. Rails offers a hybrid model aimed at combining the execution speed of centralized platforms with the asset control and transparency of on-chain cu...
