In additional comments on Monday through X Spaces, Thiel said that Mara “deliberately chose not to be in the first wave” to expand to the AI and HPC data center companies such as other Bitcoin miners.
“Instead of trying to modernize the mining facilities, we are investing in a partner that already has the experience, has the customer base and has the history in space,” said the boss of Mara, while adding that “it allows us to move quickly, intelligently and credible.”
