Where it stands

Kearney, Nebraska (the 'Charlie Site', about 100 MW) was a third-party-owned site that USBTC, and later Hut 8, operated under a property management agreement and used for self-mining. Hut 8's management agreements for Kearney and Granbury ended on April 30, 2024, after MARA bought the sites, and MARA paid Hut 8 a $13.5 million termination fee. Filings through February 2026 describe Kearney only as a former site, so Hut 8 has no current capacity there. 'Sold' reflects the transfer of the site to MARA, but Hut 8 never owned it; it exited a managed site rather than selling one.

Assessed November 1, 2026 from the newest filings, releases and reporting that name this project (newest relied on: February 24, 2026).

Site intelligence

Analytical estimate. Each site below is located from public records (filings, releases, news, OpenStreetMap) and checked against free satellite imagery; "How we located this site" lists every step and the score it earned. The conclusion is computed from night-time lights, surface heat and year-over-year change, with the dates it rests on. These are hypotheses under active tracking, not legal parcels or an official endorsement.

Conclusion so far We have not located the site yet. · confidence 30%

What would change this: A published address, parcel, coordinates or permit for the site itself.
