Update: Riot Platforms has halted the next 200 MW phase of Bitcoin mining expansion at its Corsicana, TX data center. This decision was made in January 2025, when the company announced it would pause all further Bitcoin mining buildouts beyond the current capacity and instead evaluate converting the remaining 600 MW of approved power capacity for AI/HPC workloads .
Riot Platforms initiated a large-scale, 1 gigawatt (“GW”) development to expand its Bitcoin mining and hosting capabilities (“the Expansion”) in Corsicana, Navarro County, Texas.
Riot Platforms has acquired two additional parcels of land in 2025 for its Corsicana campus in Texas. The company announced the acquisition of 355 acres in May, followed by another 238 acres in July. The latest purchase brings the total size of the Corsicana data center campus to 858 acres.

Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT), headquartered in Castle Rock, Colorado, is a large-scale North American Bitcoin miner operating two flagship campuses in Texas: Rockdale (700 MW) and Corsicana (400 MW). CEO Jason Les leads the company.
On the Q1 2026 earnings release (April 30, 2026), Les described the quarter as "a definitive inflection point for Riot, as we officially transitioned into an active, revenue-generating data center operator."
Key developments:
New capital is flowing to AI/HPC buildout at Corsicana and exploratory nuclear-AI development with Terrestrial Energy. Bitcoin mining is being treated as a cash flow source to fund the data center transition rather than a growth area for incremental hashrate.
