Bitdeer Technologies Group said it has acquired about 200 acres of undeveloped land in Milam County, Texas, in an all-cash deal worth about $100 million. According to ChainCatcher, the site is adjacent to the company’s existing Rockdale operations and will support the development of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing infrastructure.

The property is located in an area with established power interconnection infrastructure and currently has about 563 megawatts of grid-connected power capacity.

The company said the new site will be used to build a dedicated AI/HPC data center without affecting its existing Bitcoin mining operations. Following the expansion, Bitdeer said its global power pipeline across North America, Europe, Asia, and Africa totals about 3.0 gigawatts.
