Bitmain Set First Cooperative Repair Center in North America through Partnership with Core Scientific

Singapore, Oct. 02, 2020 – Bitmain – the world’s leading producer of cryptocurrency mining hardware announces that it has expanded the partnership with Core Scientific, to set up the first cooperative repair center in North America. This action is set to make sure customers in North America can get machines repaired with original parts while reducing the downtime of sending machines back to China.

“We are so excited to expand our offerings in North America through this partnership with Core Scientific,” said Irene Gao, Antminer Sales Director of NCSA Region, Bitmain. “Although Bitmain has made significant improvements in product design, miners are usually in a non-stop working status, making maintenance and repairs a rigid demand of our customers. We have been trying as hard as we can to make sure our customers around the world get effective and efficient services. This cooperative repair center is not only another milestone of our partnership with Core Scientific, but one step further of our commitment to local markets in North America.”

“Having a repair center close to miners in the United States is key to improving efficiency when it comes to repairing mining rigs,” said Kevin Turner, CEO of Core Scientific. “By eliminating the substantial economic and opportunity costs associated with sending equipment back to Asia to be fixed, we can help Bitmain – and the mining industry as a whole – continue to grow. Our skilled in-house engineering team is primed and ready, and will now have access to original replacement components to ensure units stay in warranty.”

As Bitmain’s cooperative repair center, Core Scientific will be able to perform repairs for any customer whose Antminer warranties have expired. Repairs will be completed by engineers who have attained Bitmain’s Ant Training Academy certification.

This announcement marks another milestone in Bitmain’s partnership with Core Scientific. As a leading mining operator, Core Scientific continues facilitating its operation with Bitmain’s products, and just recently announced a purchase of nearly 18,000 units of Bitmain bitcoin mining machines. Earlier this year, Bitmain and Core Scientific announced to the establishment of the first Ant Training Academy in North America, providing training and accreditation to local participants.
