Hyperscale Data Upgrades Michigan Facility with 1,000 BITMAIN Antminer S21+ Units

Hyperscale Data, Inc. (NYSE American: GPUS), a diversified holding company, has announced the delivery of 1,000 BITMAIN Antminer S21+ miners to its Michigan Data Center, with a new purchase order for an additional 1,000 units confirmed.

Upgrading to the Latest Technology

This deployment marks a key step in Hyperscale Data’s optimization program, replacing older, less-efficient Bitcoin miners with current-generation high-performance equipment. The Antminer S21+ units deliver approximately 235 TH/s — a roughly 135% processing-speed increase compared to the company’s previous S19J Pro miners.

Phased Installation

The installation is occurring in approximately 4-megawatt (MW) phases, enabling the company to integrate the new S21+ units with minimal disruption to existing operations. Hyperscale Data plans a 20 MW upgrade totaling about 5,000 S21+ units at the Michigan Facility.

Superior Efficiency

The BITMAIN Antminer S21+ represents one of the most energy-efficient Bitcoin mining systems available on the market today, providing superior hashrate performance and improved power efficiency. This aligns with Hyperscale Data’s strategy of optimizing its digital infrastructure footprint.

Antminer S21+ Specifications:

  • Hashrate: 216 TH/s
  • Energy efficiency: 16.5 J/TH

Antminer S21+ Hyd. Specifications:

  • Hashrate: 319 TH/s
  • Energy efficiency: 15.0 J/TH

Bitcoin Treasury Strategy

Hyperscale Data will retain all mined Bitcoin on its balance sheet and continues open-market purchases toward a $100 million Bitcoin treasury goal.

At Antminer Distribution Europe B.V., we have the Antminer S21+ series available in our webshop. Whether you are looking to upgrade your existing mining fleet or start a new mining operation, we offer competitive pricing and shipping directly from the Netherlands to all EU customers.

BITMAIN Unveils the Antminer S23 Series – What european miners need to know

At the World Digital Mining Summit 2025 in Las Vegas, BITMAIN unveiled its most powerful Bitcoin miner to date: the Antminer S23 series. For European miners facing higher energy costs and stricter regulations under MiCA, this new generation of ultra-efficient mining hardware could be a game-changer.

Breaking the 10 J/TH Barrier

For the first time in the industry, BITMAIN has achieved sub-10 J/TH energy efficiency. This milestone is particularly significant for miners in the EU, where electricity prices can reach €0.15-0.20 per kWh or higher—making energy efficiency the most critical factor for profitability.

Antminer S23 Series Specifications:

Model Hashrate Energy Efficiency Cooling Availability
S23 Hyd 3U 1,160 TH/s 9.5 J/TH Hydro Q1 2026
S23 Hydro 580 TH/s 9.5 J/TH Hydro Q1 2026
S23 IMM 442 TH/s 10.0 J/TH Immersion Q1 2026
S23 (Air) 318 TH/s 11.0 J/TH Air Q1 2026

Why Energy Efficiency Matters for EU Miners

With the EU’s MiCA regulation now fully implemented, mining operations must report their energy consumption and carbon emissions quarterly. Non-compliance can result in fines up to €500,000 or exclusion from EU markets. The Antminer S23 series, with its 40% improvement in energy efficiency over the S21 generation, helps miners meet these requirements while maintaining profitability.

To put this in perspective: a miner operating in Germany at €0.19/kWh would need Bitcoin to trade above $137,000 to break even with older-generation equipment. The S23’s improved efficiency significantly lowers this threshold.

Nordic Mining and District Heating

In Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden—where nearly all of Europe’s Bitcoin mining is concentrated—miners are increasingly using waste heat for district heating systems. The S23 Hydro series, with its water-cooling technology, is perfectly suited for this application, turning what was once an operational cost into a potential revenue stream.

Order from the Netherlands – No Import Duties

At Antminer Distribution Europe B.V., we ship directly from the Netherlands to all EU customers. This means no additional import duties, customs fees, or VAT delays. When the Antminer S23 series becomes available, EU customers can benefit from fast delivery and full European warranty up to two years.
