Where it stands

Ellendale, ND is a hosted bitcoin mining site operated by Applied Digital. Marathon's 2025 10-K lists it at 180 MW operational, 180 MW total nameplate, with no growth capacity and 10.5 EH/s energized. The lease ran to July 2027 per the 2024 10-K. The April 2026 Long Ridge presentation names Ellendale, ND (MISO) only in a site comparison and gives no status or capacity for this project, so the most recent usable status data is from March 2025.

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.

Approximate address 121 1st St N, Ellendale, ND 58436, USA Reverse-geocoded from the candidate centroid; not a permit-confirmed parcel address.
Conclusion so far We have not located the site yet. · confidence 30%
Undetermined: we have not yet located the actual site, only the town or county it is in, so imagery cannot say whether anything is running.
What would change this: A published address, parcel, coordinates or permit for the site itself.
