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

 <p>USBTC will manage the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="bankrupt" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bankrupt.html">bankrupt</a> lender’s mining division and play a key role in setting up and operating a 100-megawatt Bitcoin mining facility.</p> 
 <p>When Celsius completes its restructuring process, USBTC can enter into operating and service agreements with the newly restructured firm, pending approval from the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="bankrupt" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/bankrupt.html">bankrupt</a>cy court.</p> 
 <p>Asher Genoot, the president of USBTC, described the deal as a significant step for the mining industry.</p> 
 <blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
  <p>“As we move forward with Fahrenheit, we’re starting a new chapter that builds on past achievements. The collaboration between USBTC, Celsius, and Fahrenheit shows our dedication to reshaping the mining industry.”</p> <cite>Asher Genoot, president and co-founder of US Bitcoin Corp (USBTC)</cite> 
 </blockquote> 
 <p>In related news, USBTC has finalized its merger with Bitcoin mining company Hut 8 Mining Corp. The merger, initially announced in February, has led to the creation of a new entity, Hut 8 Corp.</p>
