Datacentrex Secures Colocation Capacity and Set to Expand Mining Fleet by More Than 500 Additional ElphaPex DG2 Miners
Rhea-AI Summary
Datacentrex (Nasdaq: DTCX) has secured colocation capacity to deploy more than 500 additional ElphaPex DG2 Scrypt ASIC miners, all of which were fully prepaid in 2025, so no incremental capital outlay or cash impact is expected for the hardware purchase.
The company currently operates 3,085 Scrypt ASIC miners with approximately 43.2 TH/s of deployed hashrate and 12.5 MW of power capacity across four U.S. colocation sites. The new units are expected to be delivered and energized within 30 days and add about 9.0 TH/s, increasing aggregate deployed hashrate to roughly 52 TH/s, or about 21% growth.
According to Datacentrex, the ElphaPex DG2 should improve the fleet’s weighted-average energy efficiency, a key driver of gross margin alongside power cost, uptime, network difficulty and digital-asset prices. The deployment follows recent Scrypt mining economics improvement, including an approximately 32% Dogecoin price increase over the week ended August 21, 2026.

- Company has secured colocation space for the deployment of more than 500 additional ElphaPex DG2 Scrypt ASIC miners, expected to be energized within the next 30 days
- Miners were prepaid in full in 2025; no additional capital will be deployed to acquire the units, and the Company's cash position is unaffected by the purchase
- Deployment is expected to increase aggregate deployed hashrate by approximately
21% - Deployment follows recent improvement in Scrypt-mining market conditions, including an approximately

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Datacentrex, Inc. (“Datacentrex” or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: DTCX), a digital infrastructure company operating an industrial-scale Scrypt digital asset mining business, today announced that it has secured colocation capacity for the deployment of more than 500 additional ElphaPex DG2 Scrypt ASIC miners. The units, which were purchased and paid for in a prior period, are expected to be delivered and energized within the next 30 days.
The Company currently operates 3,085 Scrypt ASIC miners representing approximately 43.2 TH/s of deployed hashrate and approximately 12.5 MW of deployed power capacity across four geographically diversified colocation facilities, all located in the United States.
“We have been consistent about how we intend to operate through a down market: preserve liquidity, protect the balance sheet, and continue to build the asset base when we believe others are stepping back,” said Parker Scott, Chief Executive Officer of Datacentrex. “This deployment is exactly that. We believe that we are adding meaningful hashrate to our fleet at a moment when the sector has been consolidating, and we are doing it without spending a dollar of incremental capital on hardware acquisition, because these machines were paid for well before today.”
Deployment Details
The ElphaPex DG2 is currently among the highest-throughput air-cooled Scrypt ASIC miners commercially available, and is expected to provide a substantial per-unit improvement over the older-generation hardware that comprises a meaningful portion of the Company's existing fleet. Upon full energization, the incremental units are expected to:
- Add approximately 9.0 TH/s of Scrypt hashrate, increasing aggregate deployed hashrate to approximately 52 TH/s, an increase of approximately
21% - Improve the weighted-average energy efficiency of the Company's deployed fleet, which together with power cost, fleet uptime, network difficulty and digital-asset prices, is a direct input to gross margin at any given power rate
Scrypt mining economics have improved sharply in recent sessions. Dogecoin has appreciated approximately
