Alcoa is in advanced talks to sell its Massena East site in upstate New York to Bitcoin financial services firm NYDIG, CEO Bill Oplinger told Bloomberg. Oplinger said the transaction should close in the middle part of this year, as the aluminum giant works to offload 10 dormant US smelter sites. The deal would make NYDIG the owner of the 1,300-acre facility, where it has operated with Coinmint since taking a strategic stake in Oct. 2024.
