OperationalPlanned

AI campus with an opened first phase and further expansion. The 300 MW roadmap is a future total, not commissioned IT load. DC-2 is a 280 MW roadmap component; its precise boundary and reconciliation with the campus total require review.

RESEARCH GAPS

What remains unknown

Legal property ownership and ownership history
Separately measured IT load and utility connection capacity
Latest property photo capture date and reuse rights
Operator logo asset reviewed for reuse
Block-level verification of directory marker
Current delivered MW by phase and precise DC-2 site boundary
Reconciliation of 300 MW total, 280 MW expansion and generic 125 MW page text
Complete Firebird shareholder table, individual founder stakes, and project property ownership remain unverified.
No reliable personal crypto-mining involvement was established for the named Firebird founders in this research.
Google Maps property-photo gallery could not be visually inspected on 2026-10-07; suitable exterior photo, capture date and reuse rights remain unresolved.

Unknown information is deliberately preserved. A sparse profile can still have reliable evidence.

Capacity evidence

Statements retain their dates, definitions and development scope. Do not add these rows together.

Claim / measurement	Scope and status	As of	Evidence and accounting
300 MW Unspecified power	Ultimate Armenian campus roadmap by end-2027 Planned · cumulative	2026-08-08	Reported claim ↗ Excluded from capacity totals. Includes existing and future phases; never add to DC-1 or DC-2. Power measurement boundary is not defined.
18 MW Facility power	Phase 1 design total power Operational · incremental	2026-06-05	Reported claim ↗ Excluded from capacity totals. 18 MW is the June design specification associated with the phase opened in August (f-open), not measured live demand. Current delivered capacity requires confirmation.
280 MW Unspecified power	DC-2 / Phase 2 roadmap component Planned · unclear	None	Reported claim ↗ Excluded from capacity totals. Component within the expansion; incremental versus cumulative boundary not fully established. Do not add to 300 MW. Undated page also has inconsistent generic 125 MW marketing text.

Google Maps research check

matched

Google Maps names Firebird.ai Data Center in Hrazdan, links firebird.ai, and provides the place marker 40.5418006, 44.7938423. This is distinct from the viewport center in the prior ADKARS evidence. Nearby directory marker corroborates the locality. Block accuracy denotes a named property marker, not surveyed boundaries. Photo galleries were not accessible in the available public response; no property photograph visually verified or imported. No assertion that no photos exist.
