Keel Infrastructure Announces Closing of Paso Pe Sale

Strategic Pivot to North American HPC Confirmed Amidst Asset Valuation Adjustment

By The Northwire Desk — AI Analysis Apr 22, 2026 · 07:00 KEEL · 3.85 KEEL INFRASTRUCTURE CORP COMMON STOCK
Executive Summary
  • Keel Infrastructure has closed the sale of its 70 MW site in Paso Pe, Paraguay.
  • The buyer is Sympatheia Power Fund.
  • Final proceeds were approximately $13 million, significantly lower than the originally anticipated price of up to $30 million.
  • The price adjustment was attributed to deteriorating Bitcoin mining economics and broader macroeconomic factors.
  • This transaction completes Keel's exit from Latin America, resulting in a 100% North American portfolio.
  • Proceeds will be immediately allocated to the development of HPC/AI infrastructure pipelines in Pennsylvania, Washington, and Québec.
  • CEO Ben Gagnon stated this marks the end of a chapter with zero Latin American exposure remaining.
Material Impact
  • Financial Impact: The sale proceeds represent a 57% reduction from the anticipated $30 million valuation ($13M realized vs $30M expected). This indicates significant asset value erosion or aggressive pricing to close the deal, which is a negative signal for shareholder capital preservation.
  • Strategic Impact: The exit from Latin America removes geopolitical and regulatory risks associated with Bitcoin mining in that region. Shifting focus entirely to North American HPC/AI aligns with current market demand but exposes the company to higher competition and power costs in developed markets.
  • Market Expectations: Given the stock's decline from $9.10 (Oct 2025) to ~$3.85 (April 2026), the market has likely already priced in the deterioration of Bitcoin mining economics. The news confirms this trend rather than introducing a new shock, making it routine relative to recent price action.
  • Capital Allocation: Immediate allocation of proceeds to HPC/AI development suggests management is prioritizing growth over cash hoarding, which could be positive if execution succeeds but risky given the reduced capital base compared to initial expectations.
