How we checked this
Checked on September 16, 2026. The cited source supports part of this claim, but not all of it.
The document confirms the 2 GW Matagorda County site and the roughly 4.8 GW target, but describes it only as a site within a section on the AI pivot and never labels it an AI or datacenter facility.
Confirmed in the source:
- A 2 GW site in Matagorda County, Texas followed after MARA's June 2026 quarter end
- MARA has a stated power target of about 4.8 GW
We could not confirm this from the cited source:
- That the Matagorda County site is specifically an AI and datacenter facility, as opposed to power capacity of unstated use
That does not mean it is false — only that this source does not establish it, as of the date above. If we find a source that settles it, we will re-check and update this page.
