Residents of Hood County, Texas, have voted against creating a new municipality called Mitchell Bend, which aimed to impose local regulations on noise from Marathon Digital Holdings’ (MARA) nearby Bitcoin mining facility. According to The Texas Tribune, only 38% of 138 voters supported the measure, which sought to incorporate a two-square-mile area housing roughly 600 residents. Locals have complained for years about the constant hum from 60,000 Bitcoin miners, though the proposal’s failure means the site will remain under county jurisdiction.

NIP Group announced the expansion of its Bitcoin mining operations to reach a total capacity of 11.3 exahashes per second (EH/s). The company expects this upgrade to generate around 160 BTC per month, positioning it among the world’s leading publicly traded Bitcoin miners. The initiative supports NIPG’s broader strategy of integrating digital currencies, artificial intelligence (AI), and high-performance computing (HPC) into its gaming and entertainment ecosystem. The expansion is backed by partnerships in Abu Dhabi and involves acquiring 8.19 EH/s of infrastructure through share transactions expected to close by December 15, 2025.

Marathon Digital Holdings (MARA) has filed a 47-page federal lawsuit against Hood County, Texas, accusing local officials of unconstitutional actions in approving a ballot initiative to create a new municipality — Mitchell Bend — surrounding its Bitcoin mining facility near Granbury. MARA alleges that the proposed boundaries were deliberately drawn to encircle its site, enabling residents to “tax and regulate it out of business.” The company argues the move violates Texas Local Government Code provisions on incorporation requirements, including population, boundary definitions, and community status.

Brazilian solar power producer Thopen is exploring entry into Bitcoin mining as a way to absorb surplus electricity from the country’s expanding renewable energy sector, CEO Gustavo Ribeiro told BN Americas. Ribeiro, who also heads Pontal Energy, said Thopen is evaluating options such as data centers and localized Bitcoin mining operations to utilize excess generation capacity. The move comes as several energy producers and crypto miners in Brazil explore partnerships to turn the nation’s renewable energy surplus into a new digital infrastructure opportunity.

Canaan has secured a 4.5-megawatt (MW) contract to supply Avalon A1566HA-488T water-cooled ASIC miners for a project aimed at stabilizing Japan’s electric grid. The initiative will use Canaan’s proprietary technology to balance grid load in real time through dynamic overclocking and underclocking, optimizing power efficiency and responsiveness. The company said the system will automatically adjust frequency, voltage, and hashrate to match energy supply and demand, marking a step forward in integrating Bitcoin mining with smart-grid management in Japan.
