• Derrick Whitfield (Texas Capital) asked about the scale and counterparty of the new land and water agreement for the power/data project. CEO Tyler Glover could not disclose specifics but confirmed it was not BOLT-related and noted ongoing talks about using desalinated water in future developments.
