Canaan, the Chinese tech giant that sounds like a biblical land Moses would’ve wandered through, has teamed up with Soluna to deploy enough bitcoin miners in Texas to power a small city-or at least a really loud rock concert.
This article is from Theminermag, the go-to publication for people who think cryptocurrency mining is a spectator sport. Think NASCAR, but with more electricity and fewer hot dog stands.
In a move that screams “everything’s bigger in Texas,” Canaan and Soluna announced on Tuesday that Project Dorothy-yes, like the tornado-riding girl from Kansas-will host 20 megawatts of Avalon A15 XP miners in Briscoe County. Expected to go live in Q1 2026, this deal promises to turn Texas into a crypto wonderland, complete with wind turbines and the occasional tumbleweed.
The partnership is part of Canaan’s master plan to balance selling hardware with actually mining its own bitcoin, which sounds a lot like a baker deciding to eat their own cupcakes. Smart? Maybe. Delicious? Probably.
Soluna, meanwhile, is all about monetizing its renewable-powered digital infrastructure. Project Dorothy allegedly runs on wind power, which is great until you realize Texas wind could also power a fleet of drones delivering barbecue. (Someone should pitch that.)
Canaan’s CEO, Nangeng Zhang, said in a statement that this deal is a “win-win.” Translation: “We’re making money, they’re making money, and the wind turbines are just happy to be involved.”
Year-to-date, Canaan has increased its proprietary bitcoin mining capacity by a whopping 95%. That’s like going from jogging around the block to running a marathon-if marathons involved solving complex algorithms instead of just sweating profusely.
The partnership highlights a trend in the industry: mining hardware manufacturers are no longer content to just sell gear. Now they’re mining their own coins, which is like a farmer deciding to eat their own corn instead of selling it at the market.
Bitmain, the Apple of bitcoin mining, has been selling fleets to Asian investors while quietly expanding its own operations. MicroBT, meanwhile, is leveraging its U.S. production base to support both hardware sales and long-term fleet deployment. It’s a veritable arms race, but instead of tanks, it’s racks of computers.
You can read the original article here, but honestly, you’re getting the best bits right now. Unless you really want to dive into the nitty-gritty of wind turbine uptime. No judgment.
