Soluna Holdings is deepening its ties with Blockware, adding 6 megawatts (MW) of capacity at Project Dorothy 1 in West Texas as deployment moves toward completion by the end of February.
Bitcoin Miner and HPC Service Provider Soluna Strengthens Texas Presence With Capacity Increase
Soluna Holdings Inc. announced it is expanding its partnership with Blockware by adding 6 MW at its Dorothy 1 site, a renewable-powered data center project in West Texas. The company said deployment began in January and is expected to be finalized by the end of February.
The latest addition marks the third expansion between the two firms, signaling continued growth within an existing footprint rather than a leap into untested territory. Soluna attributed the expansion to its ability to provide flexible, capital-efficient infrastructure at renewable-powered sites.
“Repeat expansions like this are a strong signal that our model is working,” Soluna CEO John Belizaire said, adding that the long-term alignment reflects the reliability and scalability of the company’s infrastructure. His message was clear: scale is welcome, but discipline comes first.
Blockware CEO Mason Jappa emphasized operational consistency as a priority during growth phases, stating that dependable infrastructure and rapid deployment were key reasons for continuing the partnership. In an industry where uptime is currency, reliability tends to win repeat business.
Project Dorothy operates as a behind-the-meter digital infrastructure designed to convert surplus renewable energy into computing power. Soluna works with bitcoin mining, AI and machine workloads, and high-performance computing (HPC) solutions. By expanding within an established site, Soluna said it can support customer growth while maintaining disciplined capital deployment.
Dorothy is part of Soluna’s broader pipeline of more than 1 gigawatt (GW) in renewable-first data centers intended to support HPC workloads and utilize energy that might otherwise be curtailed. The expansion may be incremental at 6 MW, but in energy infrastructure, incremental often equals intentional.

Bitcoin is hovering around the $700,000 level; if oil prices fall below $100 or push toward $80,000
Bitcoin has recently been trading in a high-level range. The price rebounded from $67,000 to $70,900, driven by a U.S.-Iran ceasefire agreement. Market analysis suggests that weakness in oil prices—or easing inflation pressure—may support Bitcoin’s upside. If it breaks above $72,500, it could trigger short liquidations and push the price up to $80,000. However, instability in the Middle East and a rebound in oil prices could act as a drag. Volatility in the energy market will be a key factor influencing Bitcoin’s direction.
