Soluna Holdings acquires full ownership of Project Dorothy 1A for $16.5M

Soluna Holdings (SLNH) announced the acquisition of Spring Lane Capital’s equity interest in Project Dorothy 1A for $16.5M. The transaction gives Soluna complete equity ownership of D1A, located in Silverton, Texas, and marks the second major step in the Company’s vertical integration of the Dorothy campus, following the $53M acquisition of the Briscoe Wind Farm earlier this month. With full ownership of D1A and Briscoe providing 150 megawatts of owned renewable power, Soluna is positioning itself to convert the Dorothy campus to AI computing as Dorothy 3 development advances and opens the door to bringing new equity partners onto the site on terms aligned with the Company’s AI-first strategy. The acquisition represents a natural conclusion to Soluna’s partnership with Spring Lane Capital on the D1A project. SpringLane’s Fund I receives cash liquidity for its ownership interest, while Soluna gains the full equity control necessary to change the business plan of its Dorothy projects to support AI workloads and accelerate the development of Dorothy 3. The $16.5M acquisition will be paid in cash in two installments: $6M at closing, with the balance due in July 2026. Soluna previously held 14.6% interest in the Class B Membership Interests of D1A; this acquisition of the remaining 85.4% brings Soluna’s ownership of D1A to 100%, as it already owns 100% of the Class A Membership Interests. To finance a portion of the transaction, Soluna signed an unsecured promissory note with a lender in the principal amount of $12M, maturing on May 15, 2027, which closed concurrently with the acquisition. Soluna intends to pursue full ownership of the entire Project Dorothy campus. Discussions regarding Dorothy 1B and Dorothy 2 are underway. For Dorothy 3, the Company’s plan is to obtain significant ownership with the option to bring in new equity partners aligned with the AI infrastructure buildout. In the medium term, as Dorothy 3 development matures, the campus will transition to AI as its primary workload. Soluna expects to provide updates on campus ownership consolidation and Dorothy 3 development in its regular SEC filings and investor communications.
