SAI.TECH Announces Expansion of SAI NODE Marietta, Increases Hash Rate by 68PH/s

SINGAPORE, March 21, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SAI.TECH Global Corporation (“SAI.TECH” or “SAI” or the “Company”, NASDAQ: SAI, SAITW), a sustainable distributed bitcoin mining operator and a clean-tech company that integrates the bitcoin mining, power and heating industries, is proud to announce a major scale-up of its SAI NODE Marietta facility starting December 2023 and ongoing. This expansion demonstrates the company's dedication to enhancing the SAI NODE Marietta1, the Company’s US R&D center that focused on advancing technology for high-performance computing liquid cooling and industrial-scale computing heat recycling.

The expansion involves the strategic addition of 190 units of Bitmain S19 Pro+ Hydro bitcoin mining machines and 288 units of Bitmain S19 K Pro bitcoin mining machines. The deployment of the 478 bitcoin mining machines and the underlying investment of approximately $0.9 million increased the hash rate capacity of SAI NODE Marietta by approximately 68 PH/s (petahash per second). With the Company’s additional deployment of bitcoin mining machines, it currently has approximately 150 PH/s operational hash rate for its self-mining operation, with an overall self-mining efficiency of approximately 27.3 J/TH. The newly added operation is to test the Company’s 2nd generation of TANKBOX2, which is designed to further improve immersion cooling efficiency and flexibility of computing heat recycling.

Along with this expansion, SAI.TECH also announced an update about the SAI NODE Marietta as part of its ongoing efforts to provide sustainable and energy-efficient solutions to the bitcoin mining industry.

  1. The first SAI ULTIWIT System3 was completed and has been operating 24/7 since Nov 2023. It consists of a 1MW bitcoin mining WITBOX4; a computing heat recycling, regulating, and supplying HEATBOX5; and a floor-heated 5000 ft2 greenhouse or USERBOX6.
  2. The SAI ULTIWIT system has been successfully demonstrated and can effectively recycle computing heat to support the greenhouse’s 24/7 operation even in severe winter weather conditions.

With the success of the first SAI ULTIWIT System, the latest added miners will help SAI to develop new technologies of recycling computing heat for many other applications, such as fishery, aquatic centers, and industrial heating processes.

SAI will continue to work closely with OCEC, academic schools, national labs, and industrial partners, seek support from the local community, state, and federal government, and develop the Marietta site to become an advanced computing center ecosystem (ACCE) - the first of a kind in the world.

1 SAI NODE Marietta, located in Marietta, Ohio, is a facility that recycles computing waste heat from bitcoin mining and AI computation, it applies the recycled heat to other heat-demanding applications. SAI NODE Marietta is the Company’s US R&D Center, which was successfully powered on in August 2023 after months of development.

2 TANKBOX is an infrastructure product in the Company’s WITBOX product line, it runs on immersion cooling tanks that are able to convert air-cooled servers into liquid-cooled models.

3 ULTIWIT System consists of WITBOX, HEATBOX and USERBOX, further explanation can be seen below.

4 ULTIWIT System – WITBOX

The WITBOX product line consists of models that are highly mobile and resilient outdoor computing infrastructure units fitted inside a standard 20ft container, accommodating high performance computing servers such as bitcoin mining machines and GPU computing servers. They are equipped standard liquid cooling capability, i.e. connecting liquid-cooling designed servers, and immersion cooling capabilities.

5 ULTIWIT System – HEATBOX

HEATBOX is a product line that regulates, supplies, and controls recovered computing heat generated from computing servers. Serving as a supporting role of the WITBOX series, HEATBOX is a key intermediate product line in ULTIWIT System that bridges the waste heat recovered from WITBOX and heating scenarios.

6 ULTIWIT System – USERBOX

USERBOX is design and product that supports computing heat recovery applications. It offers integrated solutions and products tailored for heating scenarios across various demands and fields.
