We are committed to doing good and doing it well. We serve and support the Bitcoin ecosystem because we believe in its potential to be a force for good. By committing to operate with integrity and respecting ourselves, each other, and our environment, we strive to make the world a better place than we found it, and we aim to inspire others to do the same.
Environmental
We are in the process of decarbonizing our business by reducing scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions and ultimately achieving 100% carbon neutrality. While our mining operations themselves emit no emissions, we strive for our Bitcoin miners to derive the as much of their power as possible from sustainable, non-carbon emitting power sources, which may include wind, solar, hydro, nuclear, and biofuel.
To achieve our goals and to encourage the expansion of renewable power in the United States, we strive to deploy our Bitcoin miners behind the meter, at the source of power generation.
Social
We support a network (i.e., Bitcoin) that enhances financial inclusion and empowers greater economic freedom for people around the world. We do so by sustainably increasing the amount of computational power (“hash rate”) that helps make Bitcoin the world’s most decentralized and secure monetary network.
We serve the communities near our mining operations by voluntarily curtailing our Bitcoin miners to feed excess power to critical businesses and infrastructure in times of crisis. We also support Bitcoin developers, builders, and advocates.
Governance
Our governance structure ensures we adhere to our core principles, that our decision making is informed and effective, and that we appropriately monitor performance and maintain compliance.
Transparency and accountability are embedded into every level and aspect of our company and its operations, and we take additional measures to provide insight into our performance. Because we operate our own mining pool, anyone can see when we win blocks and how much Bitcoin we earn in real time.
