- —Abbott ordered TCEQ to halt data center permits starting September 21
- —The freeze runs until December and covers crypto mining facilities
- —Hyperscale AI campuses are also affected by the suspension
Why it matters: Texas is the largest US bitcoin mining hub; the permit freeze slows capacity expansion and could weigh on hashrate growth.
