Beacon Point first data-hall entering service

Company: Hut 8 - Project: Beacon Point

This claim was withdrawn on September 6, 2026. Both fragments appear verbatim but the source presents them as separate facts — energization is scheduled for Q1 2027, so a six-week gap implies in-service around Q2 2027, and the source never links the ~six-week interval to the Q3 2027 data-hall delivery date the claim asserts.

How this was decided: Evidence review against the cited source. The claim is preserved below exactly as it was originally published, so the record shows what was asserted as well as what became of it.
