ABOUT
Welcome back to The Mining Pod! Hive Digital is the oldest publicly listed Bitcoin mining stocks. It’s also one of the most conservative and efficient miners on the market. So why does it want to lean into AI and HPC so aggressively? We brought on Frank Holmes and Aydin Kilic of Hive Digital to understand the Canadian Bitcoin miners play, including the team’s background, the expectation on hardware turnaround time, using a Bitcoin treasury, expanding operations in Paraguay and reducing the cost to mine Bitcoin on the corporate level.
