Sangha Energizes 20 MW Texas Solar Bitcoin Mine Amid Record-Low Hashprice Pressure

Sangha Renewables has energized a 20-megawatt bitcoin mining facility in West Texas, marking the company’s latest effort to pair renewable generation with flexible data-center load.

This article is from Theminermag, a trade publication for the cryptocurrency mining industry, focusing on the latest news and research on institutional bitcoin mining companies.

The project, located in Ector County near Odessa, operates behind the meter on a 150-megawatt solar farm and began full operations following a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Friday, the company announced. Sangha said the site has a capacity of 19.9 MW and is supplied with solar power alongside supplemental electricity and balancing services provided by Totalenergies.

Under the arrangement, Sangha develops, owns and operates the mining facility and supplies its own mining hardware and load-management systems. Totalenergies provides retail power services, including firm power during non-solar hours and structured products designed to manage price volatility. Energy consultancy Links Genco supported the project’s development, including energy structuring and grid-compliance work, Sangha said.

The energization comes as bitcoin miners contend with a historically low hashprice, driven by a recent pullback in bitcoin’s price while the network hashrate remains near record highs. Although the Bitcoin network saw a downward difficulty adjustment earlier this week, the reduction was less than 1%, offering only limited relief for miners facing compressed margins.

Sangha framed the project as a template it plans to replicate, using bitcoin mining as a way to monetize renewable energy assets that face congestion or pricing challenges. The company said the ability of mining operations to rapidly ramp power consumption up or down makes them well-suited to operate alongside intermittent generation such as solar.

Local officials and representatives from Totalenergies and Links Genco attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

MicroStrategy Could Drive Bitcoin to $10M If It Accumulates 7.5% Supply, Saylor Says

MicroStrategy aims for 7.5% of Bitcoin supply, implying $10M per BTC; as of Apr 19 it held 815,061 BTC (~3.88%) for $61.56B, needing ~3.62% more to target saturation in Saylor’s long‑term accumulation plan. Abstract: MicroStrategy seeks to accumulate roughly 7.5% of Bitcoin supply, a threshold Saylor suggests could push BTC to about $10 million and slow purchases thereafter. By April 19 it owned 815,061 BTC (≈3.88% of supply) for $61.56B and would require about 3.62 percentage points more to reach the target, indicating a approaching saturation of its long-run accumulation strategy.
