$BTC Alcoa is reportedly moving closer to offloading one of its dormant industrial assets, as discussions progress with NYDIG over the sale of the Massena East facility in New York. The site has remained idle for years, but its access to low-cost hydropower through the New York Power Authority makes it an attractive location for energy-intensive operations like Bitcoin mining.@Bitcoin.com

CEO Bill Oplinger has hinted that the agreement could be completed sometime around mid-year if negotiations continue smoothly. If finalized, this move would align with NYDIG’s ongoing push to scale its mining footprint across North America.$BTC
