Beyond Business
In addition to offering good-paying, high-technology jobs and extensive training to our local team members, we participate in community events such as charity runs, clean-ups, and other opportunities to give back to the communities that support us.
We patronize local businesses such as restaurants, service providers, and merchants. In fact, you might see our team members grabbing lunch at one of their favorite local diners.
Helping our
Neighbors
By investing in our data centers, we also spur investment in local power infrastructure, helping to increase the reliability of local grids and provide better service to our neighbors. In certain cases, power rates can even decline for our neighbors just because we operate in their communities.
Eco-Friendly Mining
Because bitcoin mining involves trillions of discrete calculations every second, we can halt our bitcoin mining operations on a moment’s notice when our grid partners need more power, without impacting our production.
This means that during peak summer temperatures, when the grid is operating near maximum capacity, we can power-down a data center and deliver the power we would have been using back to support our neighbors’ air conditioning systems.
Importantly, this unique capability avoids the need for grid operators to power-up expensive “peaker” power plants to keep the power flowing. In this way, our data centers can help the grid through the highest demand periods.
