In 2012, Andrew and Jesse started their mining journey in New York. They soon noticed an interesting opportunity - Bitcoin was trading much higher than its production cost. Recognizing the essential role of electricity in the profitability of mining, they sought to understand energy infrastructure and its role in the underlying model of Bitcoin's security.
Noticing the American deregulated energy markets' need for stable load support and demand, they found a location in Pennsylvania on the PJM grid for Bitcoin miners to operate around the clock by partnering with local electricity generators. This relationship grew to further improve the efficiency and stability of energy generation and consumption. Out of this collaborative spirit, Solteir was born. In an effort to offer a cost-effective and efficient model for energy grids, Solteir has found a solution for energy grids by flattening the disparity between generation capacity, demand and consumption.
With the rise of high-capacity computing, Solteir provides computation as a service to support energy infrastructure efficiency. What started with Bitcoin mining has evolved into a tool for energy infrastructure. By improving energy efficiency on both sides, Solteir continues to provide a positive impact on energy consumption.
