BUSINESS WIRE)--Soluna Holdings, Inc. ('Soluna' or the 'Company'), (NASDAQ: SLNH), a developer of green data centers for intensive computing applications, including Bitcoin mining and AI, today announced that it has signed a hosting expansion agreement with Blockware, one of North America's leading crypto mining infrastructure and services providers.
Following their initial 5 megawatt (MW) deployment in April, Blockware is adding 3 MW of hosting capacity at Soluna's Project Dorothy 2 data center in Texas, bringing their total contracted footprint at the site to 8 MW.
The expansion underscores the strength of the partnership and the quality of execution on both sides. In just two months, Blockware's team saw the value of Soluna's vertically integrated, renewable-powered infrastructure and moved quickly to secure additional capacity ahead of growing market demand.
'We're excited to deepen our relationship with Blockware,' said John Belizaire, CEO of Soluna Holdings. 'This expansion is a testament to the trust we've built together and a reflection of the momentum our Project Dorothy platform is generating in the market. We're proud to be the partner Blockware chooses to scale with.'
Soluna's data center projects offer a cost-effective, sustainable environment for high-performance Bitcoin mining. As part of the agreement, Soluna continues to provide full-stack infrastructure, including power management, data center operations, and on-site support.
'Blockware is proud to continue building alongside Soluna, expanding from our initial 5MW deployment with an additional 3MW of capacity,' says Kentaro Masuda, Chief Operating Officer, Blockware. 'The first phase has consistently delivered reliable uptime and operational efficiency, validating both the site and the partnership. This partnership with Soluna enhances the Blockware Marketplace by increasing the supply of next-generation ASICs, making profitable and efficient Bitcoin mining accessible to everyone.'
Blockware's total deployment at Dorothy 2 now represents up to 8 MW and an estimated 450-550 PH/s of hashrate powered by renewable energy, further advancing both companies' commitment to sustainable blockchain infrastructure in the United States.

Best's Special Report: Bermuda Remains the Largest Offshore Life/Annuity Reinsurance Domicile

BUSINESS WIRE)--Bermuda continues to maintain its role as a driving force in offshore reinsurance, accounting for more than 40% of total ceded reserves for U.S. life-annuity writers in 2024, according to a new AM Best report. The newly issued Best's Special Report, titled 'Bermuda Remains the Largest Offshore Life/Annuity Reinsurance Domicile,' also notes that the island nation accounted for over 60% of reserves ceded for L/A transactions effective in 2023 and 2024. However, the growth in ceded reserves from U.S. L/A insurers slowed to 6.4% in 2024, compared with over 10% growth in each of the previous three years. 'Bermuda has a long history of reinsurance regulator accessibility, along with solid networks of legal, actuarial and accounting expertise,' said Jason Hopper, associate director, AM Best. 'Capital efficiency tends to be cited as the primary business rationale for using offshore reinsurance.' The report cites the aging U.S. population and higher interest rates as drivers in the strong annuity growth over the past two plus years. While the growth tapered off in 2024, it is expected to continue, and more companies may look to reinsurers to manage growth and capital levels. Affiliated offshore reinsurance can provide country- risk diversification and capital-efficiency, which supports balance sheet growth. Yet it can also provide accounting and tax benefits. 'However, cross-border reinsurance introduces operational complexity and opaqueness, which may complicate analysis,' said Jacob Conner, associate analyst, AM Best. According to the report, nearly 70% of reserves ceded offshore go to affiliates. Companies with asset manager/private equity sponsors comprise 46% of reserves ceded to offshore affiliates. The report also includes data on U.S. life/annuity insurers, detailing the highest share of in-force ceded reserves offshore affiliates, a breakdown of in-force reserves assumed by region and a ranking of the largest reinsurance transactions for ceded reserves in 2024.

Saylor's Strategy Resumes Using Common Shares to Buy Bitcoin

Michael Saylor's Strategy is using common shares again to help finance the crypto treasury firm's purchases of Bitcoin following criticism of the practice by renowned short-seller Jim Chanos. The company formerly known as MicroStrategy Inc. said Monday it acquired $531.9 million of Bitcoin in the seven days ended June 29. It was the first now-almost-weekly purchase announcement since May that noted that the company sold common shares through an at-the-market sales program to fund the buying. It also sold two classes of preferred stock, the Tysons Corner, Virginia-based Strategy said in a US Securities and Exchange Commission filling. It owns about $64 billion in Bitcoin.
