JAKARTA - According to a Form 8-K filing with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday, October 11, Cipher Mining will purchase 28,000 to 56,000 next-generation Bitcoin mining hardware from Bitfury for US$6,250 (IDR 88 million) per rig.
With a maximum cost of $6,250 per machine, Bitcoin Cipher mining hardware expenditures could amount to between $175 million and $350 million, depending on whether the company chooses to accept all 56,000 rigs as stated in the purchase agreement.
Total inventory orders will be shipped in seven batches each month from summer 2022 to December 2022.
As part of the SEC filing, Cipher Mining will pay a follow-up fee of US$10 million within three business days of executing the agreement to initiate the massive order.
As previously reported by Cointelegraph, Cipher Mining is designed to reach 745 megawatts of Bitcoin mining capacity before the end of 2025.
In March, the company entered into a $2 billion merger with Nasdaq-listed Good Works Acquisition Corp - a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC).
