The record, newest first

  1. Ionic's IPO prospectus said 89 MW more is expected in the second half of 2027 and that it is seeking up to about 700 MW, depending on two utility projects. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, July 20, 2026)

  2. All bitcoin mining equipment at the site had been decommissioned by this date. (U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, July 20, 2026)

  3. Ionic Digital and Nscale announced a 10-year lease of the entire 234 MW Cedarvale facility, with Nscale planning about 104,000 Nvidia GB300 GPUs for Microsoft. (KSST Radio, Oct. 15, 2025)

Conflicts and open questions

  • Nscale leases about 50 acres; Ionic is developing the remaining 86 acres (acres field sums both).
  • Coordinates are a county-level approximation; no address or town was reported.
  • Microsoft as end user comes from the October 2025 lease announcement coverage; the prospectus mentions Microsoft only as holding an option on added power.

Status note
