Bitcoin miner Genesis Digital Assets (GDA) announced on Aug. 1 that it has launched three new data centers in the American state of South Carolina. The facilities came online in February and March.
The facilities are located in the western part of the state, with the first opening in the town of Anderson on the site of an abandoned warehouse. It has a capacity of 18 megawatts (MW). Facilities were opened between the towns of Union and Lockhart the following month that have a combined capacity of 15 MW.
