Data center operator US Bitcoin Corp (USBTC) has announced it will host 8,500 Bitcoin miners from the insolvent crypto lender Celsius at its Alpha Site.&nbsp; 
A <a href="https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20230831885686/en/US-Bitcoin-Corp-USBTC-Secures-Deal-with-Celsius-to-Host-8500-Miners-at-the-Alpha-Site" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">press statemen</a>t on Aug. 31 revealed that the miners are expected to have an estimated hashrate of 820 petahash (PH). 
The hosting arrangement is part of a more significant deal that could see USBTC managing as many as 310,000 Bitcoin (BTC) miners. These miners would belong to Celsius and other clients like Teslawatt, Foundry USA, Marathon Digital, Decimal Group, and Sphere 3D. 
In May, USBTC, in collaboration with other partners in the Fahrenheit LLC consortium, <a href="https://crypto.news/fahrenheit-consortium-acquires-bankrupt-celsius-network/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">won the auction to manage</a> Celsius assets. These assets comprise a lending portfolio and approximately 122,000 mining machines.

USBTC will manage the bankrupt lender’s mining division and play a key role in setting up and operating a 100-megawatt Bitcoin mining facility. 
When Celsius completes its restructuring process, USBTC can enter into operating and service agreements with the newly restructured firm, pending approval from the bankruptcy court. 
Asher Genoot, the president of USBTC, described the deal as a significant step for the mining industry.
