By building your own data centre you can completely bespoke it to your requirements and you would usually buy say double the plot so you can cater for expansion by expanding the footprint of the building.
Also, given power is so important to us I’m assuming it’s easier to work on something renewable and have more options if you’re constructing. Then there’s security of tenure - your destiny is in your own hands. No dodgy landlords, high rent reviews, etc.
Not too sure how desirable a company in the crypto space would be for potential landlords. There’s a lot of boxes to tick which I think would make it difficult to lease.
Plus once the site is built we could always sale and leaseback and out working capital back into the business.
