Where it stands

Hut 8's Alpha site in Niagara Falls, New York, originally a USBTC facility, is a Bitcoin mining (ASIC compute) site with about 50 MW of power. The Q2 2026 10-Q lists it as an operating site as of June 30, 2026. The facility lease was due to expire in July 2026 with renewal options. No passage confirms the renewal, but the August 2026 filing still describes the site as operated by Hut 8.

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.
