Arizona Tribune - NetBrands and Baselayer Energy Form a Strategic Alliance to Develop Up to 100MW Digital Infrastructure Targeting Crypto Mining and AI/HPC

The collaboration is intended to combine NetBrands' access to capital markets and investor networks with Baselayer's expertise in low-cost energy sourcing, infrastructure deployment, and technical operations. The parties will evaluate opportunities to develop scalable data center infrastructure designed to support digital asset mining.

Under the framework outlined in the MOU, the parties will initially explore a hybrid digital mining strategy leveraging multiple algorithms to optimize Bitcoin production and operational efficiency. Over time, the platform may also evaluate the integration of additional compute workloads, including artificial intelligence (AI) and high-performance computing (HPC).

As part of the collaboration, the companies will review opportunities to develop up to 100 MW of data center capacity in an initial phase, with potential expansion beyond that level in regions where electricity costs are structurally competitive, typically $0.035 per kWh or lower. Target regions currently under evaluation include the United Arab Emirates, Turkmenistan, and broader Central Asia, as well as additional opportunities across the Middle East, Latin America, and North America.

Projects may involve long-term power agreements, access to underutilized energy infrastructure, or the conversion of stranded or discounted energy resources into productive digital infrastructure assets.

The companies anticipate a phased development approach, beginning with the rapid deployment of ASIC capacity through containerized infrastructure or hosting partnerships where power is immediately available. Subsequent phases may include the development or acquisition of dedicated self-mining facilities and the expansion of a multi-site digital infrastructure platform.

The parties are currently evaluating the potential formation of a joint venture structure through a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to support project development and capital deployment. Under the indicative structure outlined in the MOU, NetBrands would hold a 65% ownership interest through its subsidiaries and Baselayer 35%, with final governance, financing, and operational terms to be defined in future definitive agreements.

Management believes the collaboration could strengthen NetBrands' strategy of building scalable, energy-diverse digital infrastructure platforms capable of supporting next-generation compute applications while maintaining exposure to the long-term growth of digital asset markets.

This Memorandum of Understanding is non-binding and intended to provide a framework for further discussions. Any binding commitments will be subject to the negotiation and execution of definitive agreements between the parties.
