Iowa Facility 4 – Scalable Bitcoin Mining Infrastructure with Rapid Deployment
Proven Operations, Flexible Availability
MiningStore’s Iowa Facility 4 began operations in July 2022 as part of our continued build-out across the SPP market. With 5 MW capacity and 1,300+ miner slots, it was engineered to meet institutional expectations for scalability, operational discipline, and transparency.
Today, the site remains fully integrated with MiningStore’s portfolio, with 2.5 MW capacity available and deployable within just 15 days’ notice, making it one of our most flexible and strategic options for investors seeking immediate exposure to Bitcoin mining infrastructure.
Facility 4 demonstrates how MiningStore combines operational reliability with investment flexibility.
Institutional investors value speed-to-market. With 2.5 MW available within 15 days, Facility 4 allows investors to capitalize on current market dynamics quickly, avoiding delays tied to new construction or overseas imports.
Operational since mid-2022, Facility 4 combines a reliable history of uptime with the flexibility to support new allocations. This balance reduces risk while positioning investors for long-term yield.
Located within the SPP power market, the facility taps into a renewable-heavy grid with periods of negative or near-zero pricing, advantages directly reflected in lower operating costs per Bitcoin mined.
For institutional capital, Iowa provides a compelling blend of market access, operational reliability, and deployment speed, which is critical for time-sensitive investment strategies.
SPP Market Access: Facility 4 is strategically located to capitalize on the SPP market, a renewable-heavy grid that offers periods of negative or near-zero pricing. These advantages are directly reflected in lower operating costs per Bitcoin mined.
Operational History and Stability: The facility has a proven, reliable history of uptime since mid-2022. This established track record provides the confidence institutional investors need when deploying capital into digital infrastructure.
Rapid Asset Activation (15-Day SLA): The existing infrastructure allows for activation of client hardware within 15 days. This exceptional speed-to-market allows investors to immediately convert capital into yield-generating assets and capture current market dynamics, bypassing the extensive lead times associated with new construction or supply chain delays.
Favorable Climate & Air-Cooled Efficiency: The air-cooled infrastructure is optimized for efficiency and uptime in Iowa’s generally favorable climate, providing a proven, scalable platform.
The Critical Link: Speed-to-Service and Deduction Timing
The ability to quickly activate client miners is a tax-driven imperative. To qualify for the federal depreciation benefits, mining equipment must be purchased, installed, and operational (placed in service) during the tax year. Facility 4’s 15-day activation window ensures your assets meet this crucial deadline, guaranteeing first-year tax alignment.
State-Level Property Tax Exemption
Iowa provides a structural financial advantage by offering a property tax exemption for industrial machinery and equipment. This policy completely removes the recurring annual tax liability on your core ASIC assets, thereby increasing the net profitability and extending the operational lifespan of your investment.
Federal Immediate Equipment Expensing
For investors and entities, the purchase of mining infrastructure serves as a potent tool for immediate federal tax mitigation through accelerated depreciation:
Section 179 Expensing: Allows for the full cost of qualifying equipment, up to the annual limit (e.g., $2,500,000 for 2025), to be immediately written off in the year the asset is placed in service.
100% Bonus Depreciation: This mechanism is utilized to deduct the entire remaining cost of the equipment in the first year, after the Section 179 limit has been exhausted.
This strategic combination allows investors to achieve a near-complete capital recovery on hardware costs in the first year, providing a direct offset against other forms of taxable income and creating significant cash flow advantages.

Facility 4 reinforces MiningStore’s reputation for balancing operational history with expansion capacity. As demand for Bitcoin mining investments accelerates, having capacity ready to deploy ensures investors capture opportunities in real time, not months down the line.
MiningStore’s Iowa Facility 4 represents the best of both worlds: a proven, operational site since 2022 with the flexibility to deploy 2.5 MW of miners within 15 days.
For institutional investors, private equity funds, and high-net-worth individuals, Facility 4 offers a rare combination of proven reliability and rapid scalability, making it an essential piece of MiningStore’s U.S. hosting portfolio.
