What the source record says
Operator is WhiteFiber (Bit Digital's AI unit); Nscale is the 40 MW anchor tenant (10-year, ~$865M total contract value = revenue, not capex — in notes). ~1M sq ft, up to 150 kW/cabinet, 99 MW secured from Duke Energy, 200 MW eventual site potential (planned figure). $150M WhiteFiber equity. Madison is in Rockingham County, NC. Coordinates are the Madison town centroid. Property acquired for $45M (2025, from Unifi); the total buildout described as 'over $1B' is conditional on reaching 200 MW -> investmentUsd omitted. ~60 permanent jobs (~$67k avg) were pledged (Rockingham County) - a commitment, with the facility still under construction -> jobs honest-zero. Cooling type not publicly disclosed -> water honest-zero.
Any MW value is reproduced as source-reported context. Its measurement boundary is not established consistently enough for comparison. Unknown is not zero.
