Marks Greenidge’s First Large-Scale Entry into
the Data Center Space as the Company Will Continue Working with
Data Journey in Development of Site
Highlights Greenidge and Data Journey’s
Intention To Partner on Additional Future Sites
Greenidge Generation Holdings Inc. (Nasdaq: GREE) (“Greenidge”
or the “Company”), a vertically integrated cryptocurrency data
center and power generation company, today announced that it has
entered into a definitive agreement to sell its 152-acre
Spartanburg, South Carolina property (the “Spartanburg property”)
to Data Journey LLC (“Data Journey”) for $12.1 million in cash and
an 8% profit participation interest in the property’s planned data
center.
Greenidge purchased the Spartanburg property in 2021 for a
consideration of $15 million, and it included 175 acres and over
750,000 square feet of industrial buildings. In 2023, Greenidge
then sold approximately 23 subdivided acres and its upgraded 44 MW
mining facilities to NYDIG ABL LLC (“NYDIG”) for a total
consideration of approximately $28 million. The sale of the
remaining 152-acre Spartanburg property will now enable Data
Journey to build a new data center on the property while leveraging
the site’s future access to 60 MW of power that has already been
secured by Greenidge.
Following the completion of the property sale, Greenidge will
provide support to Data Journey in the site development and
buildout. The property sale and accompanying profit share structure
align with Greenidge’s longstanding focus on identifying and
acquiring properties with access to significant low-cost power;
evaluating each property’s best use for bitcoin mining and data
center development; maximizing power capacity; and, ultimately
developing or selling to a strategic buyer, when appropriate. In
alignment with this playbook, Greenidge is now evaluating other
sites for similar data center buildouts and intends to partner with
Data Journey on other similar sites.
“Today marks an exciting step forward for Greenidge as our South
Carolina property sale to Data Journey represents our first
large-scale entrance into the data center space,” said Greenidge
CEO Jordan Kovler. “We continue to see incredible opportunities
ahead to leverage our team’s knowledge of electricity markets,
infrastructure development and power plants to create value for our
investors through a growing portfolio of future actionable
properties like Spartanburg.”
Kovler added: “As Greenidge continues to evolve, our focus is on
scaling our complementary data center expertise alongside our
existing bitcoin mining capabilities so that we can further
diversify our business and maximize power capacity at each site we
own. Data Journey is at the forefront of the data center industry,
and we look forward to supporting them as they develop this
property and to partnering together on many other projects in the
future.”
Data Journey currently operates four facilities across two data
centers in Catawba County, NC and in Houston, TX. With the
acquisition of the Spartanburg property, Data Journey will be able
to add another state-of-the-art facility that is equipped with
redundant infrastructure and advanced security protocols. The
acquisition of the Spartanburg property also further supports Data
Journey’s commitment to expand through six new sites in 2025. The
acquisition of this property enables a programmatic developmental
roll out of multiple buildings in the next few years. The property
will start with 60 MW of power from a local electric utility
company, and Data Journey will then be supplemented with
proprietary onsite power generation scaling up to 100MW in the near
term.
“The acquisition of the Spartanburg property from Greenidge is
an exciting milestone for Data Journey as it not only marks our
entrance into the South Carolina market, but it will also enable us
to further expand the data center and IT infrastructure support we
can offer to our trusted customers in alignment with our growth
goals for the coming year,” said Dr. Ishnella Kaur Azad, CEO &
Founder of Data Journey. “Through the work Greenidge has already
done to gain a commitment for future power and set the stage for
development of the site, we will be able to operationalize the site
much quicker than many comparable sites. We look forward to having
Greenidge as a partner as we continue to transform the future of
data centers.”
The property sale is expected to close in the first quarter of
2025.
