Datacentrex to deploy 500 Scrypt ASIC miners within 30 days

Datacentrex Inc. (NASDAQ: DTCX) plans to energize more than 500 ElphaPex DG2 Scrypt ASIC miners within the next 30 days, expanding its U.S.-based mining capacity.

The units, purchased and fully paid in 2025, require no additional capital expenditure. Upon energization, the new deployment will increase Datacentrex’s deployed Scrypt hashrate by approximately 9.0 TH/s, lifting total fleet capacity to roughly 52 TH/s—an increase of about 21% from the current 43.2 TH/s. The company’s fleet is distributed across four colocation facilities in the United States and currently consumes around 12.5 MW of power.

Datacentrex merge-mines Dogecoin and Litecoin under the Scrypt algorithm, with mining revenue tied to price movements in either asset. Dogecoin advanced roughly 32% over the seven days ended August 21, trading near $0.09 as of August 22, according to TradingView data.

The expansion aligns with Datacentrex’s strategic pivot beyond pure mining into digital-asset infrastructure, data-center operations, and quantum-computing-adjacent technologies. Chief Executive Officer Parker Scott stated the deployment reflects the company’s approach to preserving liquidity and building assets during market downturns.

Datacentrex currently operates 3,085 Scrypt ASIC miners, with the new units scheduled for delivery and energization within 30 days.
