Iowa Facility 2 – Proven Operations, Upgraded for Hybrid Hosting
Expanding Institutional Access to Bitcoin Mining
MiningStore’s second Iowa facility was developed to meet rising investor demand for institutional-grade Bitcoin mining hosting. Operations began with air miners in July 2022, demonstrating stability and performance from day one. In August 2025, the site expanded to host hydro-cooled miners, cementing its role as a hybrid facility capable of supporting both technologies.
With 5 MW of power, over 1,200 slots, and connectivity to the MISO grid, Facility 2 combines operational history with cutting-edge infrastructure, offering investors the reassurance of proven results and the upside of future-ready efficiency.
Facility 2 was designed as a flexible hosting environment that has evolved to match the latest hardware and investor expectations.
Unlike speculative or new builds, Facility 2 has been proven since 2022 with continuous air-mining operations. This track record provides institutional investors with confidence that the infrastructure delivers consistent results.
The 2025 hydro expansion ensures the facility can host the most advanced ASICs on the market. Investors can choose between air miners for proven stability or hydro miners for peak efficiency and density, all within one future-ready site.
By operating in the MISO grid, Facility 2 benefits from one of the U.S.’s most dynamic energy markets. With abundant wind and solar, pricing windows often create significant cost advantages, supporting long-term ROI.
For investors, location is paramount to long-term margin protection. Iowa provides a unique nexus of stability, low-cost power, and favorable regulatory climate that minimizes risk and maximizes cash flow.
Operating within the MISO market provides access to one of the U.S.’s most dynamic energy grids. This enables sophisticated power purchasing that captures significant cost advantages derived from abundant regional wind and solar generation.
The state offers a stable regulatory environment and reliable infrastructure, evidenced by Facility 2’s continuous operational track record since 2022. This stability is critical for the long-term deployment of large capital assets.
The strategic value of this location is further amplified by the local tax environment, which explicitly exempts industrial machinery from property taxes.
The State of Iowa provides a significant advantage for hardware ownership. Industrial assets, including the core computational equipment and machinery used in a commercial enterprise, are exempt from property taxes. This critical provision eliminates annual state-level tax burdens on your ASIC fleet, effectively de-risking your investment principal and ensuring a higher long-term rate of return.
