Greenidge Generation, the Bitcoin mining company that once drew ire from New York regulators over its environmental footprint, is done with crypto. The firm has rebranded as Vulcan Infrastructure and Power, raised approximately $39.4 million in a PIPE financing round, and is steering its power assets toward AI and high-performance computing workloads.
The transaction closed on July 19 at $1.71 per share. Most of the net proceeds will go toward redeeming roughly $33 million of the company’s 8.50% senior notes due in October 2026, essentially using fresh equity to clean up its debt stack before pivoting into a capital-intensive new business.
From mining rigs to GPU racks
Vulcan currently operates 104 MW of energized capacity, with an additional 654 MW sitting in its development pipeline. The company says it plans to commercialize over 100 MW of AI and HPC-ready capacity in the near term.
The Nasdaq ticker will change from GREE to VIP, effective July 24, 2026.
Machine Investment Group led the PIPE round, with Atlas Holdings, Conversant Capital, and company insiders also participating. CEO Jordan Kovler called the transaction a “critical milestone” that enhances the balance sheet and positions Vulcan in the data center infrastructure market.
The balance sheet play
The bulk of the proceeds, roughly $33 million, is earmarked for retiring senior notes that come due in October. That means Vulcan is essentially swapping expensive debt for equity dilution, buying itself breathing room to execute the pivot without a near-term maturity hanging over its head.
What this means for investors
Vulcan’s 654 MW development pipeline is the number to watch. If the company can convert even a fraction of that into contracted AI and HPC capacity, the revenue profile changes dramatically compared to the Bitcoin mining business.
The risk is execution. Vulcan has $39.4 million in fresh capital, but most of that is going to debt redemption. The company will likely need additional financing, whether through more equity raises, project-level debt, or joint ventures, to actually develop those 654 MW.
