NOTE 6. DEPOSITS ON EQUIPMENT

As of March 31, 2022, the Company had outstanding executed purchase agreements for the purchase of (1) 26,000 Antminer S19j Pro (100 TH/s) miners from Bitmain Technologies Limited (“Bitmain”) and (2) 60,000 MicroBT M30S, M30S+ and M30S++ miners from SuperAcme Technology (Hong Kong) Limited (“SuperAcme”). All of the miners to be acquired under the purchase agreements with Bitmain and SuperAcme are scheduled to be delivered through December 2022.

The Company also has an agreement for the purchase of between 28,000 to 56,000 mining rigs from Bitfury Top HoldCo, made under, and as a part of, the Master Services and Supply Agreement between the Company and Bitfury Top HoldCo dated August 26, 2021. The agreement is a non-binding commitment unless and until confirmed by a mutually executed order confirmation. Based on the Company’s latest market assessments, management does not anticipate entering into any such order confirmations. Additionally, the Company also entered into two agreements with Bitfury USA Inc., a subsidiary of Bitfury Top HoldCo, made under, and as a part of, the Master Services and Supply Agreement, to purchase a total of 200 units of BlockBox air-cooled containers (each a “BBAC”), the modular data centers that house mining machines. The delivery of those containers commenced in the first quarter of 2022 and is anticipated to be completed in 2022, as expected. See Note 9 for more information on the Master Services and Supply Agreement.

The purchase agreement commitments, deposits paid and expected delivery timing (remaining balances are payable in advance of shipping) are summarized below as of March 31, 2022 (amounts in thousands):
