Fortitude Mining Holdings has exceeded 5.0 GSol/s in Zcash hashrate as of October 15, 2026, marking a significant milestone in its goal to become the largest vertically integrated Zcash mining platform. The company mined about 28% of Zcash network output in the first half of 2026 and operates across seven US sites. Fortitude has placed a $31.5 million order for 9,000 Bitmain Antminer Z15 Pro miners, expected to increase capacity by 145% to roughly 12.8 GSol/s. Additionally, it signed a non-binding letter of intent with Bitmain for up to $100 million in next-gen mining equipment, with a refundable deposit to be paid in Zcash. Investors will watch for the delivery and installation of new miners, the conversion of the letter of intent into a firm order, and the impact of Fortitude's upcoming TUDE listing and acquisitions on its growth and balance sheet.
