Who We Are
Rhodium is a founder-led, Texas based, digital asset technology company utilizing proprietary tech to self-mine bitcoin. We create innovative technologies with the goal of being the most sustainable and cost-efficient producer of bitcoin in the industry.
Innovation
We believe we are one of the most efficient and low-cost, large-scale bitcoin mining companies in the world, achieved by leveraging our fully integrated infrastructure platform. Our platform includes our flagship liquid-cooling system and efficiency optimization software. The cornerstone of our system is our proprietary liquid-cooling technology. Our founders spent years developing, testing, and collecting field operational data to optimize the application of our liquid-cooling tech for mining bitcoin. Our proprietary software was designed to optimize performance of our miners and infrastructure in real-time allowing us to make quicker, data-informed decisions, securely and rapidly put miners online, and more effectively manage temperature, energy, and people.
Sustainability
We are dedicated to environmentally friendly mining of bitcoin, as we firmly believe that this will be critical to the long-term adoption and success of bitcoin. We believe our liquid-cooling technology provides us an advantage in high-heat and humidity regions such as Texas that have access to an abundance of renewable power. A key objective is to strategically locate our sites to efficiently access and utilize renewable energy. We also intend to reach 100% net carbon neutrality by the end of 2022 through these efforts and the purchase of carbon offsets.
Integrity
We operate our bitcoin mining sites in Texas and our current facility has 125 megawatts of capacity for 2021. We are also currently building a second Texas site where we expect to deploy an additional 225 megawatts of miners by the end of 2022 for a total of 350 megawatts in 2022.
