AI-assisted interpretation

Therefore, it remains uncertain whether the procurement and expansion will actually be completed.
Why it matters to readers
The disclosure covers equipment commitments of up to 100000000 USD refundable deposits, 20000000 USD an increased credit facility, and Fortitude's existing computing power and contracted power capacity, which can be used to observe whether its Zcash mining strategy continues to expand.
