Keel Infrastructure shuts down all US bitcoin mining operations in pivot to AI data centers

Aug 10, 2026

Keel Infrastructure Corp. has shut down all of its U.S. bitcoin mining operations and sold 1,085 BTC for $75 million to fund its pivot toward artificial intelligence and high-performance computing data centers. The transition has caused immediate financial strain, with second-quarter 2026 revenue falling 50% year-over-year to $30 million and operating losses reaching $141 million. However, the company maintains a strong $819 million liquidity position, bolstered by a $458 million convertible note offering, as it advances permitting and tenant negotiations across its priority development sites.
