With capacity for around 3,000 customer miners, the Texas 8 facility advances Compass Mining’s strategy to scale operated hosting across the United States.

WILMINGTON, Del., Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Compass Mining, a leading provider of Bitcoin mining infrastructure and services, today announces the launch of a new 10-megawatt (MW) Bitcoin mining facility located just outside Odessa, Texas.

The site will be operated by Compass Mining and will host around 3,000 customer Bitcoin mining machines. Named Texas 8, the facility comes online as Compass Mining continues to meet rising demand for dependable, industrial-grade hosting.

“This expansion underscores our commitment to delivering continuity and reliable infrastructure for our customers,” says Shanon Squires, Chief Mining Officer at Compass Mining. “Our operations team was able to rack thousands of miners and bring Texas 8 to full energization in record time, showing our ability to activate new sites whenever the market needs them.”

The 10 MW deployment aligns with Compass Mining’s strategy to grow hosting capacity in key energy markets. The Odessa region, near Midland, is one of the most active power markets in the country and provides strong conditions for large-scale Bitcoin mining.

“Texas 8 reflects our focus on meeting customer demand for operations-as-a-service,” says Cameron Morrissey, Director of Operations at Compass Mining. “The Odessa-area facility gives customers a stable long-term home for their hardware while we continue scaling our operated fleet across the United States.”

The energization of Texas 8 follows two recent site expansions: a 20 MW facility energized in Texas last October and an off-grid natural gas site launched in Wyoming the month prior.

Together, these deployments highlight Compass Mining’s long-term strategy to vertical integration, geographic diversification, and innovation in energy sourcing. By bringing new facilities online quickly, Compass Mining continues to support institutional customers seeking operational stability, low-cost hosting options, and trusted long-term infrastructure partners.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has initiated a consultation to set minimum standards on transparency, consumer protection, and digital custody, in order to strengthen market confidence and ensure safer operations for exchanges, wallets, and crypto service providers.
