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.

ReserveOne, a newly formed digital assets management firm, will debut on the Nasdaq through a $1 billion business combination with M3-Brigade Acquisition V, a blank-cheque company, both firms said in a press release on Tuesday. Mirroring U.S. President Donald Trump’s Bitcoin reserve and digital asset stockpile, ReserveOne plans to accumulate Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, among other cryptocurrencies that could be leveraged in staking and lending, the companies said. Under the business combinati...
BlackRock's iShares Bitcoin Trust (IBIT) has broken the 700,000 BTC barrier, according to Glassnode data, just a year and a half after its debut in January 2024. That makes its assets under management worth just under $75.6 billion at today's values, per CoinGecko data. The Bitcoin exchange-traded fund is now the third most profitable fund by revenue at the world's largest asset manager, outstripping both the iShares Core S&P 500 ETF (IVV) and the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (IWM). IBIT has surpas...
The Tony Blair Institute helped form a plan that proposed selling land in Gaza via blockchain tokens, the Financial Times reported Monday, after paying Palestinians to leave their land. The tokenization project would have also seen the region rebuilt with Dubai-style artificial islands and “blockchain-trade initiatives,” complete with Elon Musk and Donald Trump-themed areas. The report was met with major uproar from Palestinian activists—one of whom described the proposed plan to Decrypt as “not...
