Satoshi Energy integrates high-demand computing infrastructure with power generation assets, primarily focusing on Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. The company provides expertise in site development and offers data-driven insights alongside power contracts, facilitating the efficient and sustainable utilization of energy resources. Its core product streamlines the complex process of connecting renewable energy sources with large-scale computing operations.
The company was co-founded by Andrew Myers, who serves as CEO, and Brock Petersen, the COO. Their professional paths first converged in 2009 while they were studying renewable energy in Australia. This foundational experience cultivated the key insight for Satoshi Energy: to champion the strategic colocation of Bitcoin and AI data centers directly with power generation, an approach they have actively pursued since 2018.
Satoshi Energy's clientele includes power generation entities, data center developers, and financing parties, with a particular focus on assisting Bitcoin miners to optimize their energy procurement. The company's long-term vision is to significantly scale both energy and compute capabilities. They aim to achieve this by unlocking and harnessing stranded renewable energy resources, deploying modular, on-site demand solutions through high-density computing applications.

Satoshi Energy is a Houston-based technology company specializing in scaling energy and compute infrastructure by colocating Bitcoin and AI data centers with power generation, particularly renewables.[1][2][3] Founded in 2017 (formerly Digital Directors Labs), it has developed 1.2 GW of powered land with 5 GW under development, and offers the Bitcurrent platform for automating transparent energy transactions between generators, data centers, and financiers.[1][2][4] The company serves power generation owners, data center operators, and financing parties, solving inefficiencies in large-load development like site selection, interconnections, and opaque power deals to enable faster, lower-risk scaling amid surging AI and crypto compute demand.[2][3]
Satoshi Energy traces its roots to 2017, when it was established as Digital Directors Labs in Houston, Texas, initially focusing on crypto mining projects that utilize excess energy.[4] By 2018, it pioneered the colocation of Bitcoin data centers with renewable power generation, achieving a milestone by colocating the first utility-scale data center with a wind farm in ERCOT (Texas's grid).[1] This evolved from early Bitcoin mining rack space rentals to broader energy-compute solutions, including the 2019 launch of smart power contracts via blockchain to connect renewable producers with miners, trading energy credits and offsets.[5] Pivotal traction came from developing nearly 1 GW of data centers, expanding into AI amid growing demand, and building Bitcurrent to address slow, risky energy transactions.[1][2]
Satoshi Energy rides the explosive growth in AI and Bitcoin compute demand, which strains grids and favors colocated renewables to bypass bottlenecks.[1][2] Timing aligns with ERCOT's renewable boom and global data center expansion, where excess/curtailed power (e.g., wind) is repurposed efficiently, turning grid challenges into revenue.[1][5] Market forces like rising energy costs, regulatory pushes for clean tech, and AI's gigawatt-scale needs amplify this—competitors like Lancium and Priority Power focus similarly on flexible loads.[4] It influences the ecosystem by unlocking capital via transparent platforms, bridging energy producers with hyperscalers/miners, and accelerating the energy transition for high-intensity tech.[2][3]
With 5 GW in development and Bitcurrent scaling transactions, Satoshi Energy is primed to capture more AI-driven power deals as data center demand surges past 100 GW globally.[1][2] Trends like grid digitization, carbon markets, and edge AI will fuel growth, potentially evolving it into a full energy-compute marketplace. Its influence may expand through partnerships, positioning it as a key enabler in the colocation wave—building the future, one megawatt-hour at a time.[1]
Satoshi Energy has raised $2.0M across 1 funding round. Most recently, it raised $2.0M Seed in October 2021.
