Efficiency, Sustainability, and Innovation: SATO Technologies' Impact on Bitcoin Mining

Show Video

the industry we are not really competitors  we are more like Co-op editors we work to   work to sustain a direction which  is securing the return Network   and in the industry it's not the biggest to win  it's the most efficient and that's what we have   been focusing on for the past six years how can  we extract more Bitcoins from the nmd that we have okay so welcome to this new episode of Bitcoin  equities today I have with me a Roman result to   the CEO of Sato Technologies Roma can you uh  introduce yourself your background and your   company and brief it our audience sure uh thank  you Dad for having us today it's a real pleasure   uh I'm Robert I'm 48 years old originate from  France naturalized American 20 years ago when   I moved to New York because I'm an entrepreneur  I started companies back in 1995 in France uh   that I've sold most of the companies and in 2017  with some friends and also my brother Matthew we   decided to start mining and we created Sato  Technologies so the idea was to be a group   of friends just have fun at the beginning and  it just happened that we had lots of success   very early on at the at the beginning of the  company not only uh because we signed a 20   megawatt deal of electricity in Quebec in Canada  but also because we've been able to get access to   bitcoin miners on big main S9 at that time uh and  we grew the company over the years and in 2021 we   decided decided to get listed on the tsxv under  the ticker Sato and also in the US otcqb ccpu.f   why did we get listed because it's a very capex  intensive business and getting access to a public   capital is one of the best way to go at scale  We are following the steps of other Bitcoin   miners like bit Farm Hotel work done it before us  and the idea is that you get listed on the tsxz   you raise money with the different Vehicles  available by the stock market including dual   listing in the US this is what they have done so  we're looking at uh on this kind of directions   we also wanted to be enlisted for uh are being  very transparent in the industry I think it's   something that is important and that's what we've  been we've been focusing on for the past few years   um the choice of getting listed I mean that  is very helpful for us because uh our ETF is   made of listed companies and I think there's the  lack of uh listed companies in the whole crypto   space and however it gives you some disclosure  constraints on some transparency constraints   that could uh perhaps uh give information to  your competitors how do you manage being at   the same time transparent without giving too  much information well we are like Bitcoin we   are an open company we believe in transparency  we believe in trust ability and that's what   we've been doing with Bitcoin mining now in the  industry we are not really competitors we are more   like Co-op editors we want to work to the same  direction which is securing the bitter Network   and in the industry it's not the biggest to win  it's the most efficient and that's what we have   been focusing on for the past six years how can we  extract more Bitcoins from the energy that we have   we are infrastructure people we are operator  people we do everything ourselves we have no   internet area between our electricity and  our Bitcoin and in that regard showing our   numbers and showing a full transparency on our  financials and how efficient we are is something   that is very important what we have shown 2022 we  are operating cash flow positive for the folios   it means that our data center 20 megawatt is  making money and running money making money by   itself q1 and Q2 not only we are operating cash  flow positive but we are also making net profit   uh so this is really one thing that is important  to make sure that you have enough capital and   that you can also focus on your efficiency just  creating more Bitcoin the housing is coming in on   probably 10 months 9 or 10 months now uh and uh  really like the efficiency of of your Center is   key with other factors one being the electricity  price we have one of the best electricity pipes in   the world first 4.4 4.3 cents a kilowatt hour  us uh and it's also a very stable energy when   you mind Bitcoin you want to have an energy  that never stops and in Quebec we have one of   the best energy in the world not only it's  100 renewable of 99.9 renewable uh mostly   coming from hydroid electricity uh uh but it's  also available at scale and very widely priced   but it's not enough to be successful uh having  low price of energy is not enough you need to   run a data centers operations that are tight  and the way you will manage your electricity   your air quality your consolation uh your system  to manage your computers we run around like 6   000 million weeks computers that are mining  Bitcoin all of this you need to tweak and find   perfection and more efficiencies in every steps of  the convection of electricity to computing power   and that's how you get a very efficient so  being listed yes it's a it's a sometimes   it's difficult uh it's uh it's more work but  it's it's the right way to work yeah you know   I'm just speaking about uh last year's results I  saw recently that there is uh some new accounting   um changes and the uh Accounting Standards when  regarding Bitcoin the fasb if I'm not mistaken   can you explain uh perhaps a little bit that's  correct it's got some things that is uh related   to us because in Canada that's already what we  had but in the US they are making a change in how   they are counting Bitcoin uh and so the Bitcoins  on your balance sheet are were already more to   Market exactly exactly so at the end of the month  we put the market price and that's how we are we   are we uh we do it and it was something that uh  in the US Michael seller was really pushing a lot   as being one of the biggest holder of Bitcoin  we can understand why so I think it's pretty   much a good news for the US uh for Canada  it's not changing um anything for us yes but   um so basically the new accounting Norm  allows you to be able in the US now to   value your uh Bitcoin at the price of uh  the market instead of uh having them at   the price of purchase or exactly accounting you  had before that's correct um why is that positive you're showing that what you hold as a value  that can then can change all the time and it   has also some implications of tax visas uh I think  American companies will be able to talk more about   uh subject uh but it's um uh on on the way you are  you account your Bitcoin which is your stock it's   complicated you know when you look look at the  uh on the financial statement of Bitcoin miners   uh uh we create things that we don't sell or  that sometimes we sell but at the price it   can be different at the time you mine it at the  time you sell it by the time you hold it uh and   I would say that in any uh in any way I mean  giving direction is a good thing this is what   we're expecting from the us from our legislation  legislature sorry this is really like giving us   like a framework uh to work at least we know  the rules and we know the rules are this way   okay uh interesting that it gives more  transparency because indeed I have looked   at several uh balance sheet of Bitcoin Miners and  sometimes you have to do a lot of adjustments to   get the real uh assets and the real valuation  and there's a lot of additional steps I would   say from you have to take to analyze them compared  to other companies with more traditional products   yep so go ahead no so going back to what  you said about Quebec being one of the best   and the cheapest destination in the world um  and you the fact being hydros or mining mostly   in the renewable energy 1995 you mentioned 99 of  the New York and 95 is from Idaho it's not the   cheapest in the world oh you can get cheapest  you can get cheaper Venezuela sometimes uh   um Argentina other countries in the world maybe it  can get cheaper but it's one of the best energy in   a sense that it's a very stable it's at scale  uh and uh are well advised so so what makes   uh Quebec a uniquely positioned to offer this  type of cheap energy to in the world basically   well it's a decision they made back in after after  World War II they decided to use a large water   they have in the north of Quebec and to build to  them uh so because of these decisions they really   decided to uh to expand this energy and they  made a bet and it was a good bet because now   they have energy at scale uh it's uh transmitted  and distributed all around Quebec one provider   energy we don't have ppas like most of the  miners have in the US we have one provider   One Price same price for everyone uh uh right  now however in Quebec there is some kind of a   moratorium for Bitcoin mining it's come it's  dated from 2018 and because we started mining   before we are not under the small Italian but  there is no more block of energy allocated for   Bitcoin or crypto mining however they have  block of energy allocated for other projects   uh they are mainly focusing on a green nitrogen  batteries and this kind of stuff but we believe   there is also a way for us to go and convince  them to build data centers also for AI and HPC   which is also something that we have started  to do for the past months we believe we have   something to play in the industry because at the  end we are transforming power into computing power   today we've built and we've we plugged a Bitcoin  miner but we could plug any kind of computers   with some differences when we talk about HPR  HPC or AI you have a few differences on hold   on c for your electricity addition type of  ventilation for the cooling and mainly you   need to have a high bandwidth fiber type of  connection but that the difference is that   we understand that we know how to manage and  that's why we are are developing toward the   direction and also because it's going to be a  great way to get access to more energy simpler   okay so to get an idea this is quite unique and  your business model there are other miners looking   at HBC and AI but most of them are just sticking  to Bitcoin mining why are you diversifying do you   think there is also potential in the AI and HPC  space serving this industry yes I believe the   demand will be way over the offer in the coming  2 to 10 years and I believe we become mine up we   have something to bring we are not going to do  like Amazon or IBM or Microsoft different kind   of data centers yet it's going to be kind of  like similar type of implementation but again   transforming energy into computing power that's  what we know that's our knowledge that's our   thoughts so we want to apply that into Ai and  HPC and by doing so we believe we're going to   have access to webmo energy faster and quicker  we also believe that there is a um a way where   HPC and AI will work extremely well with Bitcoin  mining again when you look at the origin of   of our work transforming energy we have something  magical in liquid in Bitcoin mining which is   called cocktailment domain response it's a fact  by which we can stop our operation in Minnesota   and give back the energy to  the deed when it's needed   we have this in Quebec it happens  also in Texas and this kind of things   but this is very very important because by doing  so you make sure that the grades electrical grid   you are working with uh is always flat and  doesn't have curves ups and down so basically   we are going to a municipality or CDE or region  or problems or even a country and we say look   you have energy that is unused unsold we're  gonna we're gonna use it and monetize it for you   and when you did it we stop could be an hour two  hours five hours sometimes we stop ten percent   twenty percent thirty percent of our production  we are not making Bitcoin during that time   but at least we are not losing anything we don't  use data we don't lose anything and we we uh we   start mining back as soon as uh the electricity  is not needed it's part of our contract uh it's   a certain number of hours but the beauty of it  is that it's allowing us to integrate ourselves   into an electrical grid and that's how we create  a positive to the uh to the municipality we're   working with before us they had energies that was  not used before uh that wasn't sold before and   because of us they are making extra profit in so  many disparities for example not far from us it's   a silly called the shabuk they made so much profit  and so much money from hosting Bitcoin miners that   did not increase the real estate tax by a thousand  dollar per household it's huge it means that when   you have a Bitcoin miner in your city it's a plus  for all of the inhabitants we are creating jobs   not a lot of jobs that's true but we pay higher  than the average usually on the uh on the city   that we are in we're also giving stock options  to people we are also using lots of uh companies   around us where we are in Joliet in Quebec it's an  hour north of Montreal we spend around like three   to four million dollars to electrical companies uh  construction companies owners so it's good for the   uh from the uh municipality resourcing us and we  are now developing uh our Solutions where we can   reuse the heat produced by our computers I'm not  going to spend too much time to keep talking about   it but we made a study with the University of  Quebec with phds and the smart electricity lab uh   to have data precise data on how much and how much  heat we can use from our from our Bitcoin miners   so we are really big bringing Innovation  bringing jobs bringing over news   and at the end we are also listed companies I  mean listed companies it is a success it poses   success of region a country a CV and and we are  participating to that so people love adding us and   I think in the future they will understand even  better how the intrication between electricity and   data center is going to be important and that's  why we've been working on and for me and for us   the one of the best I'm not saying we're going  to be only the only one but one of the best will   be to have a data centers that can mix Bitcoin  mining where we can do this uh about craft element   Nai in hvc where it never stops and by doing so  you can make sure that the grid is always used at   the right level but Bitcoin mining will be the uh  the uh the things that you can play with to make   sure that the grid has no issue so that's why we  are going to set Direction uh and we believe in   the in the coming years uh or it's gonna do the  same thing for lots of Bitcoin miners stopping   Bitcoin mining we are still very much delivered  in Bitcoin mining We are continuing going on this   on this phone but we will uh uh add every single  letter to AI HPC and we're working on it actually   okay I find that the containment uh uh  possibilities of Bitcoin miners is really   quite unique and I discovered it quite late in  my Bitcoin Journey because most people don't   understand very well uh how the power grid  functions and how electricity consumption   uh is not always bad it can actually stabilize  the grid and help the electricity producer to uh   run a more profitable business and  be able to service in a more stable   way uh his customers however  I was wondering if they were   any other curtailing uh industry or industries  that are able to curtail that could compete with   Bitcoin mining uh it's a good question I'm not  sure I mean in data centers it's a little bit   complicated because when you talk about like  traditional data centers or Ai and HPC you   need to have your power 24 7. so you can't really  stop uh mining if you if the data centers I don't   think they can do it maybe some part of the data  can manage to do it but I think Bitcoin mining   is very unique in that sense now if you talk  about traditional Industries like uh aluminum uh um forget it you can't stop I mean you need  to stop the energy it will never go back   online because uh they need they need to  keep a constant uh hit I think to uh to   our tour to walk with the aluminum so I think  we are very unique in that sense and and that   that has been proven to be a big plus uh in  uh the way we uh we uh we talk to different   partners to implement our operation uh in  your city and these benefits of Bitcoin   miners come into add stability to the grid we  hear a lot haircut in Texas uh praising them   uh but I haven't seen many energy producers  uh discussing it welcoming this industry and   or even subsidizing them because at the end  it gives you so much flexibility and so much   visibility on your revenues that you should  give them even cheaper prices don't you think   I I totally agree I can agree more there's also  another benefit that we have when we work with an   energy company or when we work with the community  parity let's say you you want to build out   500 megawatt one gigawatt of energy for your  population in the next 20 years we become miners   we are going to guarantee that we're going to be  the first the first client which is great because   when you build 500 megawatts when we go out in  the next 20 years you're not gonna use it at   the beginning you're gonna use it at the end but  having a client at the beginning is a uh is an   enormous plus uh and and I would say that I think  we are on the verge of a new where people will see   Bitcoin miners or data centers and I think more  and more people understand the benefits that we   have not only we consume very low energy in the  world I mean or the last bitter mining console   puts uh says that determining is the order  two percent of the world energy so it's really   nothing for security versus securization of the  network Bitcoin last year in 2022 made more uh uh   volume amount of volume than visa and MasterCard  so for zero that two percent of the world that's   interesting we are not producing carbon we are  creating jobs we are stabilizing the grid and   everything so at the end I think we are just  at this point in time where people understand   the benefit of having people like us working with  them and I think we will see more energy provider   coming to us and trying to develop a Bitcoin  mining and what do you think is missing for   them to to get orange pill to wake up on this  new reality and this new opportunity because uh   I'm sure out there in the world there's a lot of  uh energy projects that are stopped because they   couldn't find the right financing they couldn't  secure the PPA from the municipality or from the   government or the right subsidy so this is the  kind of subsidy that is available everywhere   in the world for everyone when when do you think  this switch will happen ah it's difficult to put   a time but it's it's happening right now I think  uh it's not big yet but we are getting there and   you know at the end when your population is gonna  see that other cities are paying less taxes what   are they gonna do they're gonna knock on the door  the mayor saying hey can't we have a Bitcoin miner   at the end we're not making noise uh we're not  polluting uh we're a very clean uh uh industry   we are strive to Perfection to Innovation uh to  efficiency uh and that's that's also something   that we've seen happening in Quebec uh in Quebec  I know uh Mayors from series that are next to the   series that we are that we are in and they are  saying how do I how do I get you on my territory   you know because it's it's it's it's money coming  tour to get out the bank account so I think we're   on the verge to to see people changing their mind  and you know what in some point it's very like   the internet back in 90s in the 90s late 90s uh at  the beginning lots of people were resisting uh at   least where I was coming from in Europe in France  uh but at some point nobody's asking a question   and we're like okay let's go and let's build it  and the only way for us to do it is to really   act and show the benefits that we can bring where  we Implement our operation and that's what we've   been doing and I hope it's gonna take uh it's  gonna it's gonna be a happening as sooner than   later but I think we are already at this point  where it's gonna it's gonna it's gonna happen   okay and if you look at the different  sources of energy production so   um which type of source I would say  is the one that is struggling the most   to get financed and that would be helped the  most by Bitcoin mining subsidies or support   well it's the the best energy is energy that  is wasted energy that is not used and that's   what we use in Quebec it's uh where we where we  are the energy was there sitting there not used   and when it's not Tuesday it's just Fiverr uh so  that's really where it is important and to look   at your grid when you have an energy or an energy  company or if you are a country or Province or a   state do I have energy that is wasted and how can  I unvest it by putting operation behind it other   than that you have very interesting concepts with  flergal so flare gas is um coming from oil process   mainly sometimes in some some provinces in Canada  also in the US and other parts in the world mainly   coming from packing uh and one of the emanation of  that is uh releasing metal in the atmosphere and   because it's not good so it isn't it and in the  atmosphere companies where and are still burning   it but in the burning process you still create CO2  and it's not very great so one thing that they did   and there is a company called cruiseries that  you that you probably know they are focusing on   doing mining with flagel though they are taking  a negative and putting it into a positive which   I think is very interesting you have minors  who are mining and getting electricity from   tires from cars or you know yeah you have huge uh  planes that are burning tires instead of burning   tires and just burning tires they're reusing uh  the heat to create energy uh you have miners who   are even mining with dirt with a trash same stem  or same ideas so you really have lots of ways to   develop uh your energy and that's also why I'm  very optimistic in in the future of of having no   energy and continuing developing our solution is  that if you have energy today and if you're not   asking yourself how can I have a data center how  can I put Bitcoin mining on it you're missing out   and more and more people will realizing it some  some big companies already mining I think it's X   and mobile uh have been said to be mining already  I think probably with Chris oil you have tepco   also in Japan with a mining Bitcoin why because  again what happens at our municipality level   could happen at the state level okay it's still  interesting okay back to your business model so   um today your business model is extracting Bitcoin  from the network and getting rewarded for the job   and running uh a balance sheet with machines  and Bitcoins um what's uh the pros and cons of   holding your share instead of holding Bitcoin you  mean the shelf of our stock market yes oh well I   think we we are proxy for for people who wants to  invest in in Bitcoin mining lots of people doesn't   understand how to buy Bitcoin out to a store  Bitcoin or cold wallet hot wallet uh it's very   complicated buying shares is a natural process for  lots of people but at the end I think uh um it's   not the end of all I mean it's more it should it's  not a oh it should do your end I think if you want   to be exposed to bitcoin it's a good idea to buy  Bitcoin and to buy publicly listed minus hackers   um historically also if you look at the uh uh the  stock price of the public miners like us we over   beat or we surpass Bitcoin in bull market for  example from January 1st to August 15 which is   my last cut for for the data that I have where  stock took 353 percent increase and Bitcoin took   80 uh so I guess it's it's a it's a great way  to be exposed to bitcoin uh in a traditional   Financial way buying a stock like you would buy  apple or Amazon uh and I think we have even uh a   plus we a junior minor because we're a junior  company but we're striving and working toward   becoming a senior on very very quickly uh I think  the junior might see even bigger increase in the   coming months or at least when the bull starts  because we are under the radar people know us   less and we can go uh probably at the bigger  rate than the bigger older minus okay um and   uh when holding Bitcoin we advise that most of the  industry advises to DCA so uh dollar cost average   buying a little bit every day saving uh some part  of your salary of your savings of your income into   uh Bitcoin because it's hard to find the bottom  or call the bull market or the next will run   uh what about your stock should someone have  uh a view on the valuation or just a DCA how   uh how do you view one versus the other in terms  of investment well everyone is is responsible of   his own choice obviously but we are building for  the long term we are not here to do a quick cut on   a hunt I created myself for the company research  the other people back in 2017 I own more than 15   percent of the company and the three other with  me also another like close to 10 percent each uh   so we are aligned for the long term we win  if the shareholders win after that anyone   can enter today and then get up to raw or wait  for the long term we're totally fine with it   that's why we wanted to be reselled for also to  um to get some ways for people to In and Out uh   uh uh more questions and in startup you know  like when you invest in a tech startup usually   you get close you get locked for 10 years  or five or ten years without institutions   you have access to the stock so I think uh  DCA for buying Bitcoin is a great strategy   for buying stock it's like I don't know I think  the question is the same for big companies again   I thought you better to buy a little bit  every day uh or to buy like a big chunk   I think we are under-evaluated today uh I think we  have lots of great things for us to go we showed   that we were able to grow super effectively from  2 megawatt to 20 megawatts we want to do another   10 times minimum I'm 20 megawatt 200 megawatt if  we can to do more we are in a linear business uh   but we've shown our efficiencies we've shown that  we've been able to doing at scale we will list   another stock market uh now we are developing AI  we're also developing a software for l2s lightning   Network it's more long-term Vision because we want  to have more ways to get access to um uh by doing   so but it's more like for I would say the next  Harding and not this one but there's a one coming   after so it's four years or five years uh uh that  we've been that we've been developing on this and   again uh my line and all of the management  is aligned with a long-term shareholders   okay um going back to um what you said about the  uh the the the additional stuff you're building on   top of the Bitcoin mining and the HPC and the AI  especially in the L2 I'm really interested in this   part because I find a lot of uh listed companies  in the Bitcoin space mostly Bitcoin Miners and but   I see them more focusing only on Bitcoin mining  rather on developing the softwares tools and all   the essentials that you need on top of famous  because Bitcoin is a great payment network but   then once you want to build on top of it it's uh  it's there where you gotta see the the most value   I would say yeah that's so that's that's correct I  mean the truth is our focus is really on building   our infrastructure and that's really where we put  most of our energy uh 200 of our energy energy   figuratively and uh in here uh but that's that's  what we've been focusing on our weather in that   um uh the work of finding efficiency we developed  our own software to manage our ctOS Miner so we   have a team in-house that have been working  with our apis with our own Bitcoin miners we   developed our own system to understand all of  data points in our Bitcoin mining uh as fun Etc   and we've been developing this since 2018 we're  also working to developing AI model to manage   our main info uh basically managing your energy uh  your your temperature your humidity and everything   is something that we can have action with and we  believe in AI our computer will be extremely great   at school piloting the manager so we've been  working on this since 2018 We are continuing   it's a long-term process but the team that we  have also internally has been able to deploy   and develop projects on l2s right now it's it's  more like experiences uh even so we have developed   cool stuff we have developed an application  for IOS and Android to manage your Originals   it's called hot wallet we have also managed to  make your website for people to do their own   inscriptions or you can go online it's called  inscribe.bisato.com you can inscribe whatever  

you want on the Bitcoin blockchain we get a two  percent fee we are also contacted by people who   wants to do connection uh We've made a collection  for a company called ordinal Labs early collection   they did the eggs we needed or we inscribe because  we can't really stand in touch for return mining   for Bitcoin ordinals but uh a whole like 40  um Originals we are doing another collection   as we speak from a Japanese artist so it's a way  for us to make more fees uh when we are when we   work with them it's it's not it's marginal today  I mean we're not our top line is not going to be   able to become to be able to be changed at least  in the next few years but we're thinking long term   we have also developed a great tool that uh uh  people can find from our website it's a uh uh a   software that you run on your side so we we don't  know what your address you have and everything   but it scans your Bitcoin wallet and it finds  out if it contains some unique or exotic sets   it's something that is new in the industry coming  from ordinals but uh you have said that are worth   more than the others uh it's completely crazy  because you can sell one set on the on the on   the market for around 300 or 400 so we're talking  about 180 million percent return on investment   so with this software you can find if you have  websites if you have resets you can extract them   and put them into a wallet address specific for  later and all decide to sell them if you want but   at least you have a we are using it for ourselves  because as a Bitcoin miner we we are scanning   every entrance of in coming from our phones and  if we have hair stats we make sure that we extract   them and put them aside because if we use them if  we sell a Bitcoin for example and in if inside the   utxo you have this reset it's plus forever uh so  we're working on these things uh and for us it's   really a way to be more on top of of what we do  and understanding even better how we can use our   Hardware with new types of software and there is  a debate that was uh the best started you probably   heard of it it's called beep 300 and beep 301  which are the new new implementation that could   arrive with Bitcoin and um you have ways in which  Bitcoin miners by developing software and being   on top of software could be more performant so  for us it's participating in the same vision and   same direction of where the market is going again  Focus today is our infrastructure how do we go   from 20 to 200 megawatts or more and then on top  of that for long-term Vision uh we're working on   this software everything is uh you can you can see  all of them from our website uh buysato.com yeah   I was a task all these information on the website  I'm gonna look it up just after our call very very   interesting going back to the valuation you were  saying that your evaluation was quite cheap uh how   do you value a Bitcoin miner or at least how do  you judge yourself to well good question I mean   so far and what we have seen in bull market was  to have a multiple of our mining power in exiled   uh and that's how most of the analysts  have been evaluating PPT listed miners uh is it going to be the same way in the future  I'm not sure I think we are seeing more and more   analysts following uh our industry more deeply  and by doing so they are able to understand more   of our financials and then be able to compare  a little bit more who is doing what and how   it's true that you have different strategies to  deploy your episode on Bitcoin mining you can uh   decide to just buy the miners and not hold on your  infrastructure you can develop the infrastructure   like we decided and also do 100 sub mining uh you  have different ways also you have people who have   ways to show different kind of accounts and how  they will account their production on their other   cost so it's true that it's difficult for people  and analysts to really go deep into the financial   statement of bitter minus but I think it's getting  there ourselves for example we're talking to most   of the analysts of the uh on the market who are  following the industry and they're really getting   more and more knowledgeable on what we do there  is also something that is interesting to follow   most of all of public miners that is the biggest  one like us we publish our monthly production   so every month all of the Bitcoin miners probably  so much because and all those kind of things it's   it's an interesting way to also compare the  performance of of the Terminus in the number of   Bitcoin per egg which is a ratio that people are  following were always ranking in the top three uh   best miners why because again efficiency is key  uh not how big you are if you are efficient you   want to go B but being big is not enough okay  what about that how do you factor this in your   valuation metrics When comparing Bitcoin miners  well that is a an instrument that was made that is   very much used by bitter minor uh historically uh  uh we have been using that for buying some of our   miners we found and we made one of the best deal  probably the best deal of the industry we work   with a Swiss bank called Signum uh and we uh made  a 9.5 percent uh uh interest rate over three years   for 9.5 million and with this we've been able to  to buy our computing power self-mining however  

in the future I believe that will also be very  interesting for deploying long-term infrastructure   traditional Banks uh people understand building  on the long term and when you speak to Banks   above like this kind of financing they are  very much listing mainly if it's for AI and   HPC for Bitcoin it's more complicated to convince  a bank a Traditional Bank to invest for long-term   infrastructure but Banks they have departments  like you know you you say hey I'm going to   transform energy for the next 20 years so you  want to do it we we're going to develop this   infrastructure this way deployed it that way and  then at the end the the future for work will be to   really be bringing a mix of equity raise and that  financing for for developing our infrastructure   for for the traditional infrastructure again  energy ventilation and all this kind of space   and then computing power and we can use both  in the future yeah so um so that's uh that's   quite interesting actually that uh there's an  infrastructure play that comes on top of the   uh activity play which brings me to perhaps my  last question about uh uh the conversion of this   industry so fast forward 10 years from now where  do you think this industry going like becoming uh   well we're going to the Moon no but like becoming  specialized industry or becoming an an integrated   energy in the industry within the energy sector I  think it's going to be integrated intricated with   energy sector uh it's it we're not gonna see the  difference between someone who is producing energy   and someone who is managing a data center or  probably with a mix of bitter Mining and AI HPC uh   this is the way to go and and again if if you have  energy today and if you're not asking yourselves   how can I have a Bitcoin mining or a data center  with it you're missing out and then I think in 10   years we are not going to see the difference and  people will not ask the question and people will   not fight having data centers for whatever reason  they've been told by uh by some part of the media   okay okay thanks a lot for your time I'm  gonna share all the links that we talked   about uh on uh online and I hope to see  you soon on the next episode my pleasure   after you publish perhaps your next results or  another event happening on uh companies that   you would like to announce and share with  our shareholders my pleasure thank you Dad
