Compass Mining has announced the development of a bitcoin mining facility on a five-acre site in Iowa. The company plans to energize eight megawatts (MW) of capacity by January 2025, with further expansion up to 30 MW. This marks a notable addition to Compass Mining’s growing network of self-operated sites.

The Iowa facility is part of Compass Mining’s strategy to reduce dependence on third-party operators by owning and managing its own infrastructure. Historically reliant on external partnerships, the company is shifting toward direct ownership to mitigate counterparty risks and enhance operational control. Customers purchasing mining hardware through Compass will have the option to deploy their machines at the new site.

“This new site marks an important milestone,” remarked Shanon Squires, Compass Mining’s chief mining officer. “By increasing our self-owned capacity, we can provide our customers greater operational control.”

The Iowa site complements Compass Mining’s recent efforts to expand across the United States. In 2024, the company energized nearly 50 MW of capacity in Indiana, Iowa, Ohio, Kentucky, Nebraska, and Texas. Earlier this year, Compass completed projects in Kentucky (10 MW) and Nebraska (7.5 MW), signaling its intent to scale operations amid growing demand for bitcoin (BTC) mining infrastructure.

Compass Mining further said that it aims to energize an additional 20 MW of power across its facilities by early 2025. The company’s efforts reflect broader trends in the bitcoin mining sector as firms navigate regulatory, operational, and market challenges in pursuit of sustainable growth.
