Opposition and litigation at this site
Nothing on record as of September 10, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over Genesis Digital Assets Anderson Bitcoin Mining Data Center in Anderson, Anderson County, South Carolina appears in the sources this registry tracks. That is an absence in our sources rather than a finding that none exists, and local opposition often predates any coverage a national dataset would pick up.
If you live near this site and something is happening that this page does not show, that is worth telling us. Send us the document and it goes in the record with the source attached. For sites where opposition is already established, see every contested site we track.
Power and water
Reporting states the Anderson facility returns excess power to the Duke Energy grid when needed, and that it uses Hitachi dry-type distribution transformers.
Notes on the record
GDA = Genesis Digital Assets. Coordinates are an approximate geocode of Anderson, SC, the source places the site 'near the community of Anderson' with no address. Current ownership/operation has not been re-verified against a 2026 source; the record reflects the operator named at opening. Re-checked 2026-09-10: no status change found, and no new fillable field secured, this is an absence-of-adverse-signal check, not an independent confirmation the site is still running. The facility's own cited source (scbiz.com, GDA's Aug 2023 opening announcement, re-fetched today) remains the most recent primary account: operational since Feb 2023 at 18MW near Anderson, on Duke Energy's grid via Hitachi dry-type transformers, built into a repurposed textile warehouse. Checked for a newer/contradicting signal at the county tier: Anderson County's three most recent County Council agenda packets (2026-09-01, 2026-08-18, 2026-06-16) and the County's audited FY2025 ACFR (period ended 2025-06-30) contain zero reference to Genesis Digital Assets, GDA, bitcoin, or crypto-mining -- no ordinance amendment, enforcement action, or FILOT dispute surfaced. Anderson County's Note 13 (Tax Abatements) is AGGREGATE-ONLY ($10,447,545 countywide FY25, not itemized by company) so it neither confirms nor denies a site-level FILOT -- unlike some SC municipal ACFRs, this county's note does not itemize. Could NOT check the SC PSC docket system (dms.psc.sc.gov) or FERC eLibrary -- both are JS-rendered single-page apps that return no content to a static fetch this session -- nor run a general web search (WebSearch tool quota was exhausted for this session before I started, and DuckDuckGo/Bing/Marginalia all returned CAPTCHA/anomaly-detection blocks to direct fetches; web.archive.org was reporting 'Temporarily Offline'). investmentUsd, landAcres, water, location.street/postalCode, subsidies, and aiClassification remain unresolved for these same tooling reasons -- NOT because any source confirmed their absence. The 2023 article's job figure ('150 jobs, 125 local contractors') is an explicit combined total across GDA's Anderson site AND the two Union/Lockhart sites together, with no per-site breakdown given anywhere in the source -- assigning any portion of it to this record specifically would be a fabricated split, so `jobs` is deliberately NOT filled. `community` is also not filled: the only community-reception language in the source is GDA's own press quote about being 'welcomed... warmly,' which is the company describing itself, not documented independent public reception.
What the record does not establish, and the document that would
In every fight on our tracker the decisive fact came out of a public records request. These are the requests for this site.
- Cooling method and water use
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- Permanent jobs promised
- Land area
- How the community has received it
Which document closes each gap
- Cooling method and water use
- The water service agreement, any groundwater appropriation permit, and the mechanical narrative in the site plan.
- Tax abatements or other public subsidy
- The abatement, PILOT, or development agreement approved by the county, city, or development authority, and the state's data center sales tax exemption certificate if one was issued.
- Permanent jobs promised
- The economic development application or incentive agreement, which usually states a job commitment and a clawback.
- Land area
- The rezoning application, the plat, or the deed recorded with the county.
- How the community has received it
- Planning commission and governing body minutes, public comment records, and any petition or lawsuit filed in the county.

Distances are between recorded coordinates, many of which are a city or county centroid, so treat them as approximate. Cumulative load on one utility and one aquifer is the question a planning commission rarely asks.
