summary

Core Scientific describes building an enterprise Bitcoin data center in Western North Carolina—230,000 sq ft on 70 acres—to control uptime, efficiency and capital risk instead of using an asset‑light host model. Claims: network hash rate peaks near 240 EH/s after a post‑halving equipment refresh, mining uses ~0.16% of global energy, and regulatory responses include two‑year moratoria in New York and higher taxes in Washington. Quarterly transparency comes via the Bitcoin Mining Council reports.
