Fortitude Mining Holdings reached a Zcash hashrate of 5.0 GSol/s on October 15, 2026, up from approximately 4.7 GSol/s earlier in October. The company mined 72,696 ZEC in the first half of 2026, representing roughly 28% of network production, operating seven US mining sites with over 60 MW of contracted power capacity. In July 2026, it ordered 9,000 Bitmain Antminer Z15 Pro units for about $31.5 million, which are expected to add 7.56 GSol/s and bring total capacity to 12.8 GSol/s, a 145% increase. In October, Fortitude signed a non-binding letter of intent with Bitmain for up to $100 million in next-generation mining equipment, with a $20 million refundable deposit to be paid in ZEC. Led by former Hut 8 CEO Jaime Leverton, the company is preparing for a listing under the ticker TUDE.
