| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of presentation | The Company prepares its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) as determined by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) and pursuant to the accounting and disclosure rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
|
| Principles of consolidation | The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.
|
| Reclassifications | Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified for consistency with the current period presentation.
|
| Use of estimates | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates inherent in the preparation of the Company’s financial statements include, but are not limited to, those related to equity instruments issued in share-based compensation arrangements, valuation of its Level 3 assets and liabilities, useful lives of property and equipment, asset retirement obligations and the valuation allowance associated with the Company’s deferred tax assets, among others. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
|
| Unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements | The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which consist of only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the balances and results for the periods presented. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement results are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year or any future period. A detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026. The Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies from those disclosed in the notes to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2025 Form 10-K, except for the addition of our HPC leasing described below.

| Revenue recognition - bitcoin mining/HPC leasing | The Company recognizes revenue related to bitcoin mining under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle of the revenue standard is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The Company recognizes revenue on the same day that the control of the contracted service of providing hashrate transfers to the mining pool operator, which is the same day as contract inception. The noncash consideration received in the form of bitcoin is measured at 0:00:00 Coordinated Universal Time (“UTC”) using the Company’s principal market for bitcoin. The contract is terminable at any time by either party with no substantive termination penalty. The Company’s enforceable right to compensation begins when, and lasts for as long as, the Company provides computing power to the mining pool operator; the Company’s performance obligation extends over the contract term given the Company’s continuous provision of hashrate. This period of time corresponds with the period of service for which the mining pool operator determines compensation due to the Company. Given the terms of the contract, and the Company’s customary business practice, the contract effectively provides the Company with a contract that continuously renews throughout the day. The Company generates revenue by leasing data center capacity and providing related services to customers including hyperscalers, AI labs, and neoclouds for high-performance computing. These arrangements generally include lease components related to the right to use specified data center space and associated infrastructure and nonlease components, including power delivery, environmental controls, physical security, connectivity products, operations and maintenance services and certain other operating services. The Company evaluates each arrangement under ASC 842, Leases (“ASC 842”), to determine whether the arrangement contains a lease and whether the Company is acting as lessor. For its HPC data center assets, the Company has elected the practical expedient available under ASC 842 to combine nonlease components that have the same pattern of transfer as the related lease components into a single combined component. The combined component is accounted for under ASC 842 when the lease component is predominant and under ASC 606 when the nonlease component is predominant. The lease components are the predominant components in the Company's HPC lease arrangements and, accordingly, the combined components are accounted for as operating leases under ASC 842. As a result, all of the consideration within the HPC lease arrangement is presented as HPC leasing revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Recognition of HPC leasing revenue begins upon lease commencement, which occurs for each lease component when the applicable facility or phase is delivered to the customer and made available for its intended use. The Company has concluded that it is probable that substantially all of the payments will be collected over the term of the arrangements. For each lease component, the Company recognizes the total fixed payments allocated to the component on a straight-line basis over the noncancellable term. The difference between lease revenue recognized on a straight-line basis and contractual lease payments is recorded as an accrued rent receivable or deferred rent liability on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Certain arrangements include options to extend the term. These extension options are not reasonably certain to be exercised and are excluded from the lease term and calculation of lease payments at lease commencement. The lease arrangements generally require the Company to provide power delivery, environmental controls, physical security, connectivity, operations and maintenance and certain other operating services throughout the lease term. Any fixed monthly payments associated with these services are allocated to the related lease components and recognized as lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain arrangements also provide for reimbursement of electricity, taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating costs incurred on behalf of tenants. These amounts are generally variable and are recognized as HPC leasing revenue in the period earned. Reimbursement-related lease payments are presented on a gross basis in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Certain lease arrangements also include customer-requested change orders to the lease component during the construction period. Recognition of HPC leasing revenue begins upon lease commencement, which occurs for each lease component when the applicable facility or phase is delivered to the customer and made available for its intended use.

| Segment information | Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate discrete information is available for evaluation by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company currently has two operating segments, Bitcoin Mining, which through operations produces bitcoin to generate revenue, and HPC Leasing through which data centers are constructed and leased to tenants for HPC. The Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) for the Company consists of the chief executive officer (“CEO”), and chief financial officer (“CFO”). The CODM reviews the performance of its segments primarily based on operating income when deciding on allocating resources. |
| Restricted cash | Restricted cash primarily relates to proceeds from various senior secured notes offerings which the Company is restricted from using for general corporate purposes outside of financing specific site developments. As these funds are expected to be used in the short term to build out the various sites, this restricted cash is classified in current assets on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Restricted cash classified as noncurrent on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets represents cash required to be held in debt service accounts related to various senior secured notes, as well as amounts pledged as collateral to Luminant ET Services Company LLC (“Luminant”), and Vistra Operations Company, LLC (“Vistra”), a Luminant affiliate, primarily related to the Luminant Power Agreement (defined below in Note 4. Derivative Assets).
|
| Accounts receivable | The Company’s accounts receivable balance as of September 30, 2026 consists primarily of amounts due related to rent, operating expense reimbursements, and change orders requested from tenants for its HPC data centers. Amounts recorded in accounts receivable consist of the amount invoiced, but not yet received from the tenant. The Company’s accounts receivable balance as of December 31, 2025 consists of amounts due from its mining pool operator. Amounts recorded in accounts receivable consist of the block rewards and transaction fees earned on the last day (last contract period) of the period, but not yet received from the mining pool operator.
|
| Fixed assets | As a result of fixed assets placed into service related to the Black Pearl Facility, the Company established estimated useful lives for Buildings from 10 to 40 years, and Infrastructure assets from 10 to 40 years.
|
| Long-term borrowings, net | Long-term borrowings, net represents the Company’s convertible senior notes and senior secured notes. The Company records the aggregate principal amount of each of its long-term debt instruments as a liability on the balance sheet, offset by the instrument’s issuance costs. The issuance costs are amortized to interest expense using the effective interest rate method over the expected term of each instrument. The Company records contractually obligated payments due within one year as short term liabilities.
|
| Earnings (loss) per share | Basic earnings (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) allocated to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings (loss) per common share adjusts net income (loss) and net income (loss) per common share for the effect of all potentially dilutive shares of Common Stock. Potentially dilutive common shares consist of the Company’s outstanding warrants to purchase Common Stock, Common Stock to settle convertible notes, as well as unvested restricted stock units (“RSUs”). The dilutive effect of RSUs is calculated using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of PSUs is calculated using the contingently issuable share method. For warrants that are liability-classified, during periods when the impact is dilutive, the Company assumes share settlement of the instruments as of the beginning of the reporting period and adjusts the numerator to remove the change in fair value of the warrant liability and adjusts the denominator to include the dilutive shares calculated using the treasury stock method. The dilutive effect of the convertible notes was determined using the if-converted method. Under the if-converted method, net income (loss) is adjusted to reflect the assumption that the convertible notes were converted at the beginning of the period. The Company’s potentially dilutive common shares have been excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per common share when the effect would be to reduce the net loss per common share, or increase the net income per common share.

| Recently adopted and issued accounting pronouncements | Recently adopted accounting pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2024-04, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments (“ASU 2024-04”). ASU 2024-04 seeks to improve the relevance and consistency in application of Subtopic 470-20 around when the terms of convertible debt instruments are changed to incentivize conversion. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 on January 1, 2026. Adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and disclosures. Recently issued accounting pronouncements In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 seeks to improve disclosures around expenses and provide more detail to investors about certain types of expenses in commonly presented captions. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2027, and interim periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software (“ASU 2025-06”). ASU 2025-06 seeks to modernize the internal-use software guidance, primarily by removing the project-stage framework (preliminary/application development/post-implementation) in favor of a principle focused on when it is probable that the software will be completed and used as intended. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning January 1, 2028. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this amended guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). ASU 2025-11 is intended to improve the navigability of the guidance in ASC 270 and clarify when it applies. Under the amendments, an entity is subject to ASC 270 if it provides interim financial statements and notes in accordance with GAAP. ASU 2025-11 also addresses the form and content of interim financial statements, provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures, and establishes a principle under which an entity must disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for interim periods beginning January 1, 2028, and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on the notes to its condensed consolidated financial statements. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, Codification Improvements (“ASU 2025-12”). ASU 2025-12 contains 33 amendments intended to correct errors in, clarify, and make narrow-scope improvements to various Codification topics, including clarifications to the calculation of diluted earnings per share when a loss from continuing operations exists, the permissible methods for accounting for treasury stock retirements, and the accounting for transfers of receivables from contracts with customers. The updated guidance is effective for the Company for fiscal years beginning January 1, 2027, including interim periods within those years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance may have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures. The Company continually assesses any new accounting pronouncements to determine their applicability. When it is determined that a new accounting pronouncement affects the Company’s financial reporting, the Company undertakes to determine the consequences of the change to its financial statements and assures that there are proper controls in place to ascertain that the Company’s financial statements properly reflect the change. The Company reviewed all other recently issued accounting pronouncements and concluded that they were either not applicable or not expected to have a significant impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
