Frankfurt on the Main – February 10, 2020 – Northern Data AG (XETRA: NB2, ISIN: DE000A0SMU87) is about to successfully merge with the American company Whinstone US, Inc.

The deal, announced in November 2019, will be successfully completed in the coming weeks and results in a global technology company, whose infrastructure capacities build the foundation for a variety of software solutions which go far beyond Bitcoin and blockchain applications.

The new Company is based on mobile and stationary data centers for the field of High-Performance Computing (HPC) and software solutions based on these. In addition to HPC in the blockchain segment, the Company’s hardware and software solutions will also be used in numerous other upcoming industries, such as artificial intelligence, game streaming or autonomous driving.

It combines self-developed software and hardware with intelligent concepts for cost-efficient and sustainable energy supply. In Texas, Whinstone is currently building the largest data center in the USA and, at the same time, the world’s largest Bitcoin mining facility.
