[8-K] Soluna Holdings, Inc Reports Material Event
Rhea-AI Filing Summary
Soluna Holdings filed an 8-K to share a January 2026 business update and attach a detailed press release. The company is advancing several renewable-powered computing projects and expanding from Bitcoin-focused hosting into AI and high‑performance computing.
At Project Kati 1 (83 MW under construction), Soluna obtained ERCOT energization approval and began power commissioning for the 24 MW K1A Galaxy Phase 1, targeting completion in February, with additional 12 MW phases aiming to start commissioning in March and April. A new partnership will pilot Cormint’s proprietary container design at K1B, with equipment delivery expected in Q2.
For Project Kati 2, Soluna announced a joint venture with Metrobloks and is engineering a 350 MW Tier 3 AI campus across seven buildings, supported by over 500 acres of additional land. The company launched an RFP to 10 construction management firms and is negotiating with three potential single‑tenants to pre‑lease the full campus. Other updates include a 20 MW fleet upgrade underway at Project Dorothy 1A, winter‑storm‑driven curtailment at certain Bitcoin sites, advancing PPAs and land acquisition in its pipeline, and the planned appointment of Michael Picchi as Chief Financial Officer effective April 1, 2026.

Soluna outlines progress on multiple sites, most notably Project Kati 2, where it is engineering a
At Kati 1, ERCOT energization approval and staged commissioning for the 24 MW K1A Galaxy Phase 1, followed by 12 MW phases, show tangible movement toward revenue-generating infrastructure. However, several sites experienced increased curtailment due to winter storms, highlighting ongoing exposure to grid conditions.
Commercially, negotiations with three potential single-tenants to pre-lease the full Kati 2 campus and advancing PPAs and land acquisition in the project pipeline could underpin future utilization, but actual impact depends on converting these discussions into binding contracts.
