Greenidge set to complete a merger

The combination expects to become effective by market close the following day, according to a September 13 SEC notice. Greenidge will also receive an additional $33 million in cash from (Support.com).

Greenidge’s strong business will bolster this purchase. This will provide additional cash funding and a public currency to fuel their expansion goals. As well as significant new skills such as customer interface, security software, and privacy knowledge, added President Lance Rosenzweig.

Greenidge stated in July that it would become a carbon-neutral Bitcoin mining company. They intend to do this by purchasing voluntary carbon offsets from a portfolio of US greenhouse gas reduction programs.

The company also intends to use low-carbon energy sources at its Upstate Upcoming York operation and to offset the carbon footprint of its new South Carolina factory by procuring power from zero-carbon sources.
