Ault Alliance, a diversified holding company (“Ault Alliance,” or the “Company”), announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Sentinum, formerly known as BitNile, Inc. (“Sentinum”) has commenced construction in Montana of its next data center.

Once completed, the anticipated initial power capacity is up to 20 megawatts, which can support approximately 6,500 S19j Pro Antminers. Sentinum believes the site has the potential to significantly expand, though an electrical load feasibility study would need to be performed to determine the maximum expansion ability, and Sentinum would also require additional financial resources in order to increase the capacity. Sentinum anticipates that the data centers will be completed and ready for operations before the end of 2023.
