BlockchAIn Digital Infrastructure (NYSEAMERICAN:AIB) outlined its strategy to convert powered land and former Bitcoin mining sites into facilities designed for artificial intelligence hosting and high-performance computing workloads, emphasizing secured utility capacity, modular construction and tenant-provided GPUs.

During a conference presentation, CFO Jolienne Halisky said the company follows a “power first” approach, meaning it does not begin development based on expected future interconnection. Instead, each site is intended to be supported by an executed energy services agreement, or ESA, and access to generation and transmission infrastructure.

Halisky said the company has 65 megawatts of contracted power, about 140 MW under development and approximately 570 MW of total identified capacity. She cited the company’s view that data-center power demand is growing more quickly than grid additions, while interconnection queues in major markets can stretch five to six years.

Focus on Powered Sites and Mid-Market Development

AIB Data Centers said its facilities are designed for AI and HPC deployments, with 150 kilowatts per rack, liquid cooling and N+1 redundancy. The company targets a nine- to 10-month delivery schedule by using pre-powered, pre-zoned sites and modular 10 MW data halls
