Key Project Updates:

Project Dorothy 1A (25 MW, Bitcoin Hosting) / Project Dorothy 1B (25 MW, Bitcoin Prop-Mining):

• The site delivered a solid month of production during a hot August in Texas. As expected over the summer, the site saw meaningful curtailment from its power provider during the month.
• Site optimization efforts will be completed by the end of September adding resilience against extreme weather conditions in the future. These efforts include building insulation, heat shielding, and power infrastructure active cooling solutions.

Project Dorothy 2 (48 MW, Bitcoin Hosting):

• Soluna announced the groundbreaking of Dorothy 2 construction in a ceremony attended by key stakeholders, partners, and the local community who have been instrumental in the project’s development.
• Civil, mechanical, and electrical construction staff have been mobilized to the site and work is well underway. The remaining long lead equipment items will arrive on-site in the coming weeks.

[New] Project Grace (2 MW, AI Cloud/Hosting):

• The Helix Data Center at the Wind farm near Dorothy 2 finally has a name – Project Grace. The planned AI facility is named after Grace Hopper, an esteemed computer scientist and one of the first computer programmers to work on the Harvard Mark I. Her work led to COBOL, an early programming language we still use today. In 1947, she recorded the world's first ever real computer bug, and it is also said that she coined the phrase: “It is often easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.”

[New] Project Ada (1 MW, AI Cloud with HPE):

• The HPE Data Center housing the initial H100 Cluster is named after Ada Lovelace. Ada is known as the first programmer due to her written notes explaining how the notion of an engine could transition calculation to computation.
• Demand and utilization for the cluster are growing rapidly with multiple proof-of-concept projects with enterprise customers in progress.

Project Sophie (25 MW, Bitcoin Hosting with Profit Share, AI Hosting):

• The site has maintained strong operations through the end of the summer benefiting from fleet optimization efforts and infrastructure upgrades.

Project Kati (166 MW, Bitcoin Hosting and AI):

• ERCOT approved the Reactive Power Study, the last study required to exit planning.
• Negotiations continue with landowners for the site land leases.
• Helix One concept phase has kicked off with top-tier hyperscale design firm, kW Mission Critical Engineering.
