About this episode
On today's show, my guest is Cody Nelson. Cody is the COO and Co-Founder of Bit49, a bitcoin mining hosting company whose mission is to leverage the massive demand for bitcoin mining to accelerate the adoption of green energy worldwide. Cody and Bit49 have years of experience in sourcing bitcoin mining sites that pay close attention to the energy mix and they bring a unique perspective to establishing some bitcoin mining industry standards.
On today’s show, Cody and I will talk through how Bit49 got its start by first building out GPU mining rigs to scaling up to the 20 MWs that have currently in the US today. We also discuss how Bit49 vets and establishes new bitcoin mining hosting sites like the one they have in Glencoe MN, the positive benefits for the larger grid system when it comes to load shedding and the unique power profile of bitcoin mining, and also some of the key aspects and areas that Bit49 is leaning into to establish industry standards for bitcoin mining hosting space. This was a thrilling conversation with Cody who has a dynamic background and a great perspective on how the bitcoin mining hosting landscape should look in the future and how to source unique power relationships.
