Soluna is on a mission to make renewable energy a global superpower, using computing as a catalyst. The company designs, develops, and operates digital infrastructure that transforms surplus renewable energy into scalable computing resources. Soluna’s data centers are strategically co-located with wind, solar, and hydroelectric power plants to support high-performance computing applications, including Bitcoin mining, generative AI, and other compute-intensive tasks.

Soluna ensures seamless integration with renewable energy power plants, providing cost-effective and sustainable computing solutions while providing the flexible load required for a greener grid. The Company now operates through three core subsidiary businesses:

• Soluna Digital (“Digital”) – Bitcoin Hosting and Proprietary mining business that builds, owns, and operates its modular, behind-the-meter, data centers delivering managed infrastructure to hyperscale miners. Digital develops data centers co-located with renewable energy projects.
• Soluna Cloud (“Cloud”) – Soluna’s GPU cloud business provides services for generative AI and colocation services for HPC and enterprise AI workloads. Soluna’s Cloud develops behind-the-meter data centers co-located with renewable energy projects.
• Soluna Energy (“Energy”) – Signs power purchase agreements and leases or acquires land in partnership with renewable energy power producers. It has more than 2.6 GW of a long-term pipeline and delivers grid ancillary services in collaboration with Soluna Digital.

This integrated approach positions Soluna to leverage renewable energy as a global superpower, transforming surplus energy into valuable computing resources across AI, digital assets, and grid services.

Belizaire continued, “Another tangible sign of Soluna’s growth trajectory is the significant expansion of our development pipeline, which is now more than 2.6 GW with 1.2 GW currently in active Term Sheet negotiations. This demonstrates a core competence of the company - our ability to find, evaluate, and secure access to renewable power that is suited to development into data centers for High-Performance Computing/AI and Bitcoin computing with industry-leading costs.”
