Texas Pacific Land Corporation, Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc., and JAI Energy Announce New Bitcoin Mining Venture in West Texas

Texas Pacific Land Corporation (NYSE: TPL) (“TPL”), Mawson Infrastructure Group Inc. (NYSE: MIGI) (“Mawson”), and JAI Energy (“JAI”) have entered into a strategic alliance to develop up to 60 megawatts of bitcoin mining on TPL’s surface in West Texas.

Based on utilization of current generation Bitcoin mining hardware, these new facilities – which will be owned and operated by Mawson – could accommodate up to 2.0 Exahash of Bitcoin mining operational capacity. TPL and JAI will earn a net royalty interest and retain an option to acquire an equity stake. Mawson intends to participate in demand response programs as part of its power procurement strategy and is evaluating behind-the-meter renewable solutions. Mawson and JAI have four locations planned in Texas, with two located on TPL’s surface. Construction is expected to commence in the second quarter of 2022, and operations targeted to begin in the fourth quarter of 2022.

“This project marks the beginning of TPL’s journey into bitcoin, and we are fortunate to collaborate with Mawson and JAI as two highly regarded companies in the bitcoin mining industry,” said Tyler Glover, CEO of TPL. “We believe TPL’s extensive surface footprint in West Texas can serve as a premier destination for the bitcoin mining industry, providing site locations proximate to existing grid infrastructure and excellent solar and wind resource for future renewable power procurement. We are aligned to see this venture succeed and scale as we look to leverage our unique asset base, industry and customer relationships, and the region’s energy abundance. For TPL, our shareholders will benefit from a unique royalty stream while retaining an option to participate as an equity partner.”

“Texas is rapidly emerging as an attractive new Bitcoin mining destination in the United States, and we are eager to establish a foothold in the state,” said James Manning, CEO and Founder of Mawson. “Community engagement and sustainability are important priorities for Mawson, and we look forward to being a responsible corporate citizen in the communities in which we operate. We are excited to have partnered with JAI and TPL, and we believe our combined efforts and competencies will provide substantial opportunities for future development.”

“We’re thrilled to join with TPL and Mawson to bring bitcoin mining to Texas,” said Justin Ballard, founding partner of JAI Energy. “As a former long-time professional in the oil and gas industry, I believe that bitcoin can serve as a great complement to the oil patch and together achieve success. Additionally, it is extremely valuable to the entire Bitcoin mining space to see a group like TPL getting involved in the industry. JAI Energy strives to educate energy companies and landowners on the benefits that Bitcoin mining can bring, and we applaud TPL for being a leader and jumping at the opportunity to enter this emerging industry.”
