Record of changes
September 1, 2026 — statedlater found incorrect
Automated extraction from the cited source. Recorded automatically from the cited source when it was published, then queued for evidence review.
September 2, 2026 — withdrawnlater found incorrect
Evidence review against the cited source. The source supports the basic transition from Bitcoin mining to HPC, but does not mention a 'parallel HPC data center build'—it describes leasing the existing facility to an unnamed technology company for HPC use, not constructing a separate parallel facility.
September 2, 2026 — stated
Correction after re-verification. Re-verification found the cited source does support this claim. The earlier withdrawal was made in error and has been reversed. The source fully supports the claim including the parallel HPC build, but the attributed quote is a stitched composite whose first sentence truncates the original ("...high-performance computing under a new multibillion-dollar agreement"), so it is not verbatim.
