Dowagiac mining ends as AI conversion begins
What changed
Effective September 1, Hyperscale Data says it turned off every Bitcoin miner at its Dowagiac campus to prepare the existing facility for a previously contracted 20 MW AI deployment. The shutdown is confirmed; the AI capacity is not yet confirmed as installed or energized.

Why it matters
This is a concrete operating-use change at an existing Michigan facility, not another long-range capacity announcement. It clears the current mining load and site infrastructure for the first contracted phase of the campus conversion.
