[{"type":"text","content":"ALBANY, NY, Sept. 09, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via NewMediaWire -- Soluna Holdings, Inc. (“SLNH” or “Soluna Holdings”), (NASDAQ: SLNH), today announced that its subsidiary, Soluna Computing, Inc. (“SCI” or “Soluna Computing”), has renewed and extended a 10MW hosting contract with its customer at its Project Marie site in Kentucky. The new contract enables Soluna to pass through power costs and protect against the risk associated with recently volatile power prices. It also enables Soluna to receive a meaningful profit share, allowing exposure to the potential upside of Bitcoin gains. “Soluna remains one of the lowest-cost Bitcoin miners, and we believe the terms of this new agreement strongly insulate it from recent fluctuations in fuel charges,” said Michael Toporek, CEO of Soluna Holdings. “The industry has seen volatility in two key areas: the price of power and the value of Bitcoin. This agreement addresses both. It hedges our downside risk while maintaining upside potential. In our next flash report, we expect to detail for investors the profitability of the contract for the past year as well as the potential range of outcomes for the next year. We believe investors will be pleased with the returns we earned over the last year and the asymmetric risk-return profile we have achieved going forward for the company.” “We are looking forward to the continued long-term relationship with our customer at Project Marie,” said John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Computing. “We believe the agreement opens the door to similar hosting contracts for Soluna in the future.” Project Marie is a 25-megawatt data center powered by the hydroelectric Kentucky Dam, which is operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).
