SOURCE RECORD

Core Scientific Pecos Data Center Campus (Cottonwood 1 and 2): source record

operational

Crypto-to-AI conversion in progress: 300 MW currently mining, 300 MW incremental contracted, with AI hosting targeted for early 2027. The site traces back to US Bitcoin Corp (U.S. Data Lone Star, Inc.) before the Core Scientific combination, which is why two separate Comptroller registrations exist for the same Pecos location.
