Expansion of Texas Crypto Mining Company Giga Energy to Argentina

Giga Energy Expands Crypto Mining Operations to Argentina

Texas-based crypto mining firm Giga Energy has recently expanded its operations to Argentina, in addition to its presence in the U.S. and Shanghai. This expansion is part of the company’s strategy to tap into the gas flaring trend.

Giga Energy’s Global Operations

  • Giga Energy has been building and operating in-house mining operations since 2019.
  • They have deployed 150 megawatt containers across various locations worldwide.

Partnerships for Expansion

The crypto mining company has partnered with oil and gas company Phoenix Global Resources and Exa Tech to establish a two megawatt Bitcoin mine on top of Vaca Muerta in Argentina.

Giga Energy’s co-founder Brent Whitehead expressed excitement about the expansion, stating, “We’re thrilled to announce Giga’s expansion into Argentina, a significant milestone in our journey.”

Whitehead further added, “We are excited about the opportunities this new chapter will bring and look forward to making a positive impact in Argentina.”

Environmental Impact

Bitcoin mining is known to have a negative impact on the environment. However, Giga Energy aims to mitigate this by converting flared natural gas into electricity to power their Bitcoin mines.

Flared Gas Crypto Mining in Argentina

In December, Unblock Global co-founder Tomas Ocampo announced a $15 million investment to utilize “flare gas” from Argentina’s Vaca Muerta gas field for cryptocurrency mining.

Bitcoin Bull Market Impact

The recent bull market in the cryptocurrency space, with Bitcoin reaching record highs, has triggered an increase in capital spend by mining firms. Many companies, including MicroStrategy and Coinbase, are capitalizing on this surge in the market.
