The data center will be able to accommodate more than 34,000 Antminer S21 200Th miners with a total hashrate of 6.8 exahash per second (EH/s). This would be approximately 1.2% of the total hash rate of the Bitcoin network. BitCluster believes that Ethiopia’s rich renewable energy resources make it an ideal location for Bitcoin mining. The country has a growing economy and a young population; This can provide a large pool of potential miners.
The launch of the BitCluster data center is the latest sign of growing interest in Bitcoin mining in Africa. In recent months, other companies, including Tether and Binance, have also announced plans to establish data centers in the region.
