Most people think Bitcoin mining is wasteful, I see it differently. At BitZero, we use overabundant clean energy to turn excess power into lasting value. Mining forces efficiency, drives innovation, and makes grids cleaner. For countries that embrace it, the net benefit is clear, sustainable power and long-term returns.

As you look through the US right now, it's really hard to find a sustainable source of power that's sub six cents a kilowatt hour, and you're talking about Bitzero that's below four cents. It's become extremely attractive, and since then it's gone public, which is great, and it's become very attractive beyond Bitcoin mining. Bitcoin mining is one of the things that it does, and it's great for free cash flow, but its real asset value is the fact it has permits, land, water, fiber, and sub six cents a kilowatt hour power. Show me anything like that, and I'll invest in it. I run around all over North America and in Europe trying to find sub six cents a kilowatt sustainable long-term power contracts.

Many people consider Bitzero a data center company, but I buy it as a power play. What that company has done for the last five years is to go get power contracts that are mid-term and long-term at attractive prices. Before they do anything else, they get the power contract from the government. Bitzero is a power play and it's one of my larger holdings in infrastructure.

JUST IN: MARA CEO Fred Thiel says AI pays more than Bitcoin mining. “Today, power is the thing, which is why ourselves and many of our peers have pivoted. Because you get a lot more money per electron if you're doing it for AI than for Bitcoin mining.” “We sit on an asset called land and power, which I can convert to AI, which gives me a much higher return.” Thiel says MARA will not shut down immediately: “We can mine Bitcoin up until the electrons have to be redirected to the data center.” "It starts getting pretty expensive to mine Bitcoin when the alternative use of energy is AI.”

How can clean energy be delivered directly to factories without going through the power grid?🔋 The answer: green power direct supply. This technology connects renewable energy sources like wind and solar power to industrial facilities through dedicated lines — generating power nearby and using it where it’s needed. From energy production to final consumption, every kilowatt-hour can be clearly tracked.📍 For energy-intensive industries, it means more than lower emissions. It brings cleaner electricity, less transmission loss, and a verifiable green pathway for sustainable operations.💡 CEEC is developing tailored green power direct supply solutions for businesses worldwide. Simple, transparent, and traceable — this is how we are powering a greener future. Watch the video to see how green power goes “straight to the factory” and drives real change for industry.♻️ #EnergyTransition #CleanEnergy #Innovation

People misunderstand Bitcoin. At the right power cost, electricity is more valuable than the coin itself. When you control infrastructure and energy, you can choose: lease the power or mine Bitcoin. Either way, it works. At Bitzero , our cost to mine is far below market price, that’s real cash-flow logic, not hype. Until Bitcoin is fully regulated and institutions step in at scale, this is how value gets captured. And as for the rest of the coins? Institutions have no reason to own them. None.

MARA CEO: Using Electricity for AI Is Far More Profitable Than Bitcoin Mining Fred Thiel Fred Thiel, CEO of MARA, one of the world's largest publicly listed Bitcoin mining companies, said in a July 23 interview with Natalie Brunell that electricity has become the industry's most critical resource, as the same amount of power can generate far greater returns when used for AI than for Bitcoin mining. This is why MARA and many of its peers are shifting toward AI data centers. However, MARA will continue mining Bitcoin, as it remains an effective way to utilize surplus electricity in regions where energy is free or inexpensive.

Britain is the most expensive place in the world to build a nuclear power station. I spoke to MPs on the Energy Security and Net Zero about why that is and how others countries are able to build it cheaply.

Open source mining firmware + AI = unstoppable. ⚡ For years, people have tried to chase excess solar power with bitcoin miners. Stock firmware doesn't let you adjust power at all. Third-party firmware was too slow, some even restarted mining every time you changed the target. 256 Foundation & Ryan Kuester's Mujina just solved that. In this video: what I've been building with RY3T for their upcoming RY3T NOVA. ☀️ It tracks a power target anywhere from 1,000W to 3,000W, stepless, within seconds. Connect it to your inverter or smart home and turn excess solar into sats, instead of selling it back to the grid for pennies. NOVA scales to 1-3 miners, up to 9kW. 🔋 Learn more at (CH and EU currently - interested other places? let me know) A lot more coming in the next few weeks. Open source bitcoin mining hardware + software + AI is about to get very interesting. 🚀

MFTV #11: BITCOIN MINING AND THE RACE FOR AI POWER | with MARA CEO Fred Thiel (Fred Thiel) 🔗 YouTube: 🌿 Spotify: "You can't do AI, HPC, or Bitcoin without electrons. Acquire electrons, then generate maximum value per electron." MARA is one of the largest Bitcoin miners in the world, and it’s now moving into the energy and AI/HPC infrastructure territory the whole industry is racing for. What happens to Bitcoin mining when the race for AI power is quickly gaining popularity? In his second appearance on MFTV, Fred rejoins Head of MARA Foundation Isabel Foxen Duke⚡️ to explain what's driving that race. AI inference has skyrocketed demand for power, and the bottleneck is energized land — places where the electrons are already flowing. Fred also lays out MARA's position: a power portfolio few can match, a partnership with Starwood Digital Ventures (a large-scale data center operator with deep hyperscaler and financing experience), and an in-house team spanning digital infrastructure operations, energy, and capital markets. Bitcoin mining, meanwhile, becomes the load that monetizes power the moment it switches on. A conversation about energy, AI, and how the assets a Bitcoin miner spent years accumulating map onto the most contested market in tech.

SIMON DIXON: "We need people running nodes, owning their Bitcoin in self custody, people that aren't borrowing against their Bitcoin through a centralized structure, people that are going to support different types of innovation that allow for privacy." "It's still the most decentralized thing we have... I know it will succeed because... It's an escape for elites that still want it as well." "Do you want to fund death, destruction, war, violence and fund the proof of weapons network, which is Bitcoin in custody?... Or do you want to actually boycott, make the system weaker and at least have a corner of the world that's working on allowing people to be sovereign? Because the only countries that are going to survive in this multipolar world order and not be vassalized into the Financial Industrial Complex are the countries that have sovereign wealth." "Most of you will be useful idiots that will give more power to the financial industrial complex on the wrong side of a margin call mining fiat currency while they take your Bitcoin and use it as leverage to destroy your pension, bomb more countries and you work for transnational capital."

Fossil fuels are the most energy-dense resource we have, but nuclear power is the clear next step. It is clean, extremely energy-dense, and anyone who opposes it while claiming to want a cleaner future is in a cult. Small modular reactors are safer, cheaper, and faster to build than traditional plants. The new deal between America, Japan, and Korea to advance nuclear technology is excellent. It strengthens energy security and reduces reliance on oil and coal while competing with China. This is what serious countries do. They build advanced technology and move forward. Third-world nations stay in squalor and complain. We love to see real progress.

A major gas field in the UK could supply over 10% of the UK's energy, but that gas isn't destined for the grid. The plan instead is to extract it on site, burn it in a local power plant, and use that electricity to mine bitcoin. The energy will be consumed at the source, because that route is simpler and more profitable. Taxes, regulation and grid constraints all add friction. The gas could power homes. It isn't. Because burning it on site makes more money. That is a damning indictment of UK energy policy.

When I met the management, they had a different strategy. They basically said whether it's crypto, whether it's bitcoin mining, whether it's an AI data center, it all starts with one common denominator: power. So their strategy was to go and find power contracts that are very attractive in countries where there's an abundance of power, such as Norway and Finland. Where they're paying very small amounts, and then they build to order. I really like this investment in terms of the infrastructure of my whole crypto portfolio. To me, Bitzero is a power company with very attractive contracts.

Most traditional nuclear systems use fuel only once, leaving about 95% of its potential energy untapped. Oklo is changing that. Fuel recycling is core to our model, recovering that energy and putting it back to work. Less waste. More value. Stronger domestic energy supply. A fundamentally different system that changes how we think about fuel, waste, and long-term supply.

Treasury modelling makes it clear that the transformation to cleaner, cheaper, more reliable energy is a golden economic opportunity for Australia and we’d be mad to miss it. To turn Australia’s back on net zero and practical climate change action would be an act of economic insanity, but that’s what the Coalition is now proposing to do.

Fred Thiel Fred Thiel runs the largest public bitcoin miner. His number: a mining site costs about $1M per megawatt, all in. An AI site runs $10-15M per megawatt before a single GPU goes in. Same land, same power hookup, 10-15x the build cost. That's why Mara is converting, not mining. It already controls over 4GW after the Long Ridge and HIF deals, against 1.1GW of live mining today. The catch: Mara had no hyperscaler relationships and no build capability, so it's leaning on Starwood at 80% loan-to-value. The megawatts are real. The tenant demand is borrowed. Chase Lochmiller Chase Lochmiller of Crusoe makes the same energy-first case - the AI constraint isn't chips, it's power you can actually plug in. The tell for $MARA isn't hash rate anymore. It's how many of those gigawatts turn into signed AI leases. Thiel said it to Natalie Brunell Natalie Brunell ⚡️ on Coin Stories. How Mara funded the pivot and what breaks it:
