Developing thesis... the real decoupling is habbening.
ASIC prices declining vs. rack space assets mooning in value. ($1.22m/MW for that site purchase)
And this slide illustrates why we are so excited about this new business model (and the deal):

can build bitcoin mining data centers cheaper and faster than anyone else

BREAKING: Goldman Sachs Equity Research out with a new piece this morning calling for 15% CAGR in data center power demand from 2023-2030 and the need for 47 GW of incremental power generation capacity!! So bullish for large BTC miners with owned infrastructure and secured power.
Haven't seen the underlying valuation methodology yet, but if this is even directionally accurate, it represents one of the most interesting arbitrage opportunities I've ever seen for
#bitcoin
companies long power and infrastructure right now.

We have long emphasized the importance of diversification, both in terms of geography and energy source. The new Cathedra will continue this approach, following the best opportunities with an eye toward maintaining a balanced portfolio of infrastructure

Last week Cathedra announced its proposed merger with
@KungsledenInc
Over the next few weeks weโll be unpacking some of the details of the transaction
To start, we will keep it simple. Kungsleden is a developer and operator of alternative high-density compute infrastructure.โฆ
To say nothing of the people. With hundreds of MWs of data center development experience and decades of (combined) bitcoin mining experience, we think the pro forma company will boast one of the best teams in the industry
The industry will be chronically short infrastructure throughout the next 24 months.
Doesn't feel like it right at this moment but it will be a desperate scramble to secure infrastructure that simply won't exist or be available to most market participants.
This is NOT priced in
Thus concludes our investor deck walk through
Hereโs a final look at the pro forma company
We will continue to share more news in the coming weeks and months
Now, for a closer look at the

recipe:
- Rapid growth
- Quick builds
- Low cost
- Solid margins
In short, the team uses their extensive experience developing fit-for-purpose infrastructure to build quality bitcoin mining data centers faster and cheaper than theโฆ

Zooming out, this new business model and expertise will empower the Company to toggle between the fixed-margin hosting business and variable-margin prop mining

The US has basically stopped building the transmission infrastructure needed to bring more generation online.
New policies passed this week should improve the permitting process. But, other factors like interest rates and high costs drive the slow down too.

I think in the future the BTC mining part will only be a fraction of the revenue stream. Source cheap energy will be one of the most important things
There is a lot of white space for growth in the AI HPC market.
@KungsledenInc
and ourselves have both been exploring sound ways to break into this market to further strengthen the business. This should help us stack more bitcoin in the long run
The challenge of this next mining epoch.
New gen machines are more powerful and more efficient but are more or less the same size as the models theyโre replacing.
The result: Less machines on the same rack space.
The big question is ...
What do all these pubcos do with all these new machines that will be ordered in this cycle (S21 Pro's etc)
Replace existing machines?
Or new rack space commeth?
Both??

Much praise for addressing concerns head-on.
I've been working on a document that outlines specific metrics that miners should consider disclosing in each monthly ops update. It's definitely a complex issue -- there are pros and cons to each metric, and, taken out of context,โฆ
