Cipher Digital Expands Barber Lake Lease Term to 20 Years, Increasing Revenue to Over $9 Billion
· Additional 10-year term adds ~$5.2 billion of contracted revenue at Barber Lake
· In connection with change orders and continued evolution of the tenant’s design, the lease amendment establishes a phased delivery schedule for the site, with individual data halls expected to be delivered between Q4 2026 and Q1 2027
· Cipher remains on track with the revised delivery schedule
“Extending Barber Lake’s contracted life reflects the enduring value of the infrastructure we're building,” said Tyler Page, CEO. “Barber Lake was designed as a long-lived, mission-critical asset, and securing a firm commitment that extends well beyond the original lease term demonstrates the long-term utility and strategic relevance of the campus, as well as the durability of demand for hyperscale computing capacity.”

After the conclusion of follow-up discussions with our transmission service providers, Cipher has received the following designations:
Conditional Base Load
· Stingray (100 MW)
· Colchis (1 GW)
Conditional Studied Load
· Mikeska (500 MW, PCLR qualified)
· Apollo (900 MW, PCLR qualified)
· Stingray Phase II (200 MW, PCLR qualified)
· McLennan (500 MW)
As a reminder, Barber Lake (300 MW), Black Pearl (300 MW), and Odessa (207 MW) are already energized, and Reveille (70 MW) and Ulysses (200 MW) are fully interconnection-approved.
We look forward to complying with the comprehensive audit and will share final designations when available in December.
As the data center industry continues to evolve, the ability to work well with grid operators, utilities and regulators is going to be a key differentiator for those who successfully scale. We are excited to have Bill join our team, and Cipher continues to accelerate.

Cipher Mining Signs Additional 56 MW, 10-Year AI Hosting Agreement with Fluidstack
In this transaction, Cipher will deliver 39 MW of Critical IT Load to Fluidstack at its Barber Lake site, securing ~$830M in contracted revenue over the initial 10-year term.
The agreement also includes two 5-year extension options. If exercised, these extension options would bring the total contracted revenue to ~$2.0 billion for this transaction and ~$9.0 billion in total for the entire lease.
With these newly contracted megawatts, Fluidstack is increasing the size of its original transaction and leasing the entire 300 MW of capacity at $CIFR's Barber Lake site.
To support the buildout, @Google will backstop an additional $333M of @fluidstack's lease obligations.
“We’re excited to expand our partnerships with Fluidstack and Google as we develop the remaining current capacity at our Barber Lake site,” said Tyler Page, Cipher’s CEO. “This third transaction further validates Cipher’s position as a leader in HPC development and underscores the strong momentum that will continue to drive growth across our pipeline of sites.”
