Analysis · PWCM · Crypto Assets
PowerCompute fully repaid and terminated its Bitcoin-backed credit facility with Arch Lending on September 24, 2026, eliminating $22.45 million in obligations and releasing all pledged Bitcoin collateral. The settlement reduced total secured debt from approximately $19.4 million to $1.25 million — a 94% reduction in roughly three months — and returned approximately 39.6 Bitcoin (valued at ~$3.3 million) to the company. The company now holds approximately 62 Bitcoin (~$5.2 million) unencumbered. This materially simplifies the capital structure, cuts annual interest expense to roughly $140,000, and removes collar-related costs. The company also announced expansion plans expected to lift active hash rate about 25% to ~964 PH/s. For a micro-cap with a market cap near $2.4 million, eliminating a $22 million secured obligation is a significant de-risking event.
