Core Scientific Denton Data Center
Overview
Core Scientific's Denton data center is a 31-acre, company-owned facility in Denton County. TYPE3’s map data lists Core Scientific, Inc. as operator and records an operating status with a 297 MW power field. It distinguishes about 125 MW used for Bitcoin mining from approximately 297 to 300 MW of contracted power after a 72 MW expansion. Core Scientific described the flexible facility design as suitable for high-performance-computing hosting, but did not identify a live AI customer at Denton.
Core Scientific's April 2024 investor release said Denton was operating 125 MW of Bitcoin mining and had about 300 MW of total contracted power. It described a 72 MW project expected to bring operational infrastructure to 197 MW by the end of the second quarter of 2024. The same release presented the company's flexible facility designs as suitable for alternative compute, including high-performance computing hosting.
The 297 MW and 125 MW figures describe different layers rather than contradictory measurements of one thing. TYPE3’s map data value is close to the source's approximate contracted-power figure, while the smaller number is the reported mining operation. The AI reference describes capability, not a confirmed live deployment. The conflicting verification state remains in place pending a current Core Scientific filing or facility update about expansion completion, AI occupancy, or delivered load.
Questions
How much power was Denton using for Bitcoin mining?
Core Scientific reported 125 MW of Bitcoin-mining operations in April 2024.
Is Denton a 300 MW data center?
About 300 MW referred to contracted power in the cited release. It is not necessarily current mining consumption or IT load.
Does Denton host AI compute?
Core Scientific described alternative-compute hosting as a capability, but the available source does not confirm a live AI deployment at Denton.
