Notes on the record
NYSE-listed SOS Limited mines Bitcoin and Ethereum inside part of the former Flambeau River Paper / Park Falls Pulp and Paper mill, with equipment supplied by Shenzhen Beibeizhu Technology and the site held through Park Falls Industrial Management. Only a handful of employees are based in Park Falls. The most recent reporting I could source is January 2023, when the operation ran at limited capacity indoors with the outdoor expansion halted; current operating status is unverified and should be re-checked before publication. Capacity, hash rate and power arrangement were never disclosed. Coordinates are a best-effort locator for the mill site.
