Nothing on record as of August 8, 2026. No lawsuit, organized opposition, or contested hearing over MARA Kearney Facility in Kearney, Buffalo County, Nebraska appears in the sources this registry tracks.

Notes on the record
Operational bitcoin mining site in Kearney, Buffalo County, NE. Acquired by MARA in the GC Data Center Acquisition (closed Jan 12 2024) alongside the Granbury, TX site, the two totaled ~390 MW of nameplate capacity combined; the individual Kearney capacity is not separately disclosed by MARA. Coordinates are Kearney-area approximate. Site power capacity (100 MW) is sourced to the facility's original announcement by its prior operator, Compute North; MARA subsequently acquired the site, and no post-acquisition capacity figure has been published.
