Source notes

Built by Argo Blockchain as a ~180 MW Bitcoin-mining facility in 2022; sold to Galaxy Digital in Dec 2022 amid the crypto-market downturn. Galaxy converted the site to AI/HPC hosting for CoreWeave under a 15-year lease signed March 28, 2025. CoreWeave is the anchor tenant using the campus for large-scale AI model training. Phase I (133 MW critical IT load / 200 MW gross) is complete and operational; further phases toward the 1.63 GW approved total remain under construction. Location is near Afton, Dickens County (West Texas). Original site was 160 acres; campus has since expanded to 2,200+ acres across multiple phases. Coordinates are approximate.

ERCOT approved 1.63 GW total; potential to scale to 3.6 GW. $1.4B project financing closed for expansion. Phase I (133MW critical IT load) completed July 2026.
