Fortitude, the Zcash mining platform set to merge into HeartSciences (HSCS), signed an LOI with BITMAIN securing priority supply allocation for next-generation Zcash mining equipment via a non-binding commitment of up to $100 million. To fund the required $20 million refundable deposit, DCG upsized Fortitude's credit facility from $50 million to $70 million; Fortitude plans to draw the deposit this week in ZEC and liquidate it through market sales. Fortitude currently operates ~4.7 GSol/s of Equihash hashrate with 60 MW of contracted power across seven sites, on top of a prior 9,000-unit ANTMINER Z15 Pro order.
