Bitdeer has secured a 30-year lease for land at the Monroe County Port Authority-owned Hannibal Industrial Park in Ohio. 
Bitcoin <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/mining/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">mining</a> company Bitdeer, founded by Chinese billionaire <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/jihan-wu/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Jihan Wu</a> in 2020, has entered into a 30-year lease agreement with the Monroe County Port Authority to secure up to 570 MW of additional power capacity at the Hannibal Industrial Park in Clarington, Ohio. 
Financial terms weren’t disclosed, but Bitdeer noted that the site previously served as an “aluminum processing facility.” Bitdeer will benefit from existing “power infrastructure, utility switchyards and transmission capable of supporting hyperscale loads.” The site is expected to boost the firm’s Bitcoin mining processing and high-performance computing (HPC) for artificial intelligence (<a href="https://crypto.news/tag/ai/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">AI</a>) 
Of the total 570 MW of power capacity, the initial 266 MW is expected to be available no earlier than Q3 2025, while the remaining 304 MW is still “under review to be formally incorporated into the regional transmission planning process.”
