In addition to Georgia's expansion, the Australia-based mining company announced purchasing 17,352 ASIC bitcoin mining rigs from hardware maker Canaan last week, which will increase Mawson's current hashrate capacity by 1,500 petahashes (PH).

Reportedly, Mawson ordered 17,352 units of Canaan's latest generation Avalon A1166 and A1246 machines where the first batch of miners will be received in Q4 2021 in the company's Australian facility and its flagship site in Georgia, U.S. All machines are expected to be up and running from next year.

On collaborating with Canaan, James Manning, CEO and founder of Mawson, said:
<blockquote><em>"We are very happy to have contracted another large order with Canaan, who have been fantastic partners to date. Canaan have delivered consistently and on time, and in an environment where ASIC bitcoin mining hardware supply is once again becoming harder to secure, we are delighted to further cement our partnership."</em></blockquote>
