BTC Digital Secures Liquid-Cooled Data Center AI Partnership with Fog Computing
BTC Digital Ltd. struck a framework agreement with Fog Computing to access modular liquid-cooled data centers delivering high-performance GPU computing, storage and networking infrastructure. This partnership will power AI training and inference, improve computing efficiency, reduce costs and enable joint technology innovation and co-marketing for long-term growth.
1. Strategic Framework Agreement Details
On January 27, 2026, BTC Digital Ltd. announced a strategic framework cooperation agreement with Fog Computing Inc. under which Fog Computing will deploy its proprietary modular liquid-cooled data center technology to supply BTC Digital with dedicated AI computing resources. The agreement establishes a multi-year partnership covering GPU compute power, storage, networking and related infrastructure, positioning BTC Digital to scale its AI training, inference and model deployment capabilities in support of its core blockchain and AI computing services.
2. Infrastructure and Energy Efficiency Gains
Under the partnership, BTC Digital will access high-performance, liquid-cooled racks capable of reducing data center power usage effectiveness (PUE) by up to 25 percent compared to traditional air-cooled facilities. Fog Computing’s modular design delivers incremental compute capacity in units of 500 kW, enabling BTC Digital to expand its AI cluster from the current 10 MW footprint to over 25 MW within 18 months, while targeting a 30 percent reduction in cooling and electricity costs per petaflop of processing.
3. Technology Collaboration and Innovation Focus
The two companies will co-develop adaptations of liquid-cooling systems optimized for AI workloads, seek improvements in GPU thermal management and implement automated operations and maintenance tools leveraging machine-learning algorithms. Joint R&D efforts will explore green data center models using closed-loop coolant recycling, AI-driven energy-efficiency controls and integration with blockchain verification for carbon emissions tracking, aiming to file at least two joint patents by year-end 2026.
4. Market Expansion and Growth Prospects
Beyond infrastructure, BTC Digital and Fog Computing will execute joint marketing initiatives including co-sponsorship of three major industry conferences in North America and Asia, technical forums and white-paper publications to drive large-scale adoption of liquid-cooled AI data centers. BTC Digital’s CEO highlighted that this collaboration underpins the company’s long-term growth strategy across metaverse, blockchain mining and AI computing services, forecasting a 40 percent increase in service revenues by Q4 2027 as new enterprise clients are onboarded to the expanded data center network.
