Behind the Mic
f different products, I believe, other than just bitcoin mining as well. So maybe we can get into that towards the end. So has anything for your company changed since the halving in 2024? I mean, there was a lot of buzz that halving is going to reduce the miner rewards. Having impact hacked the bitcoin price. There was a lot of talk. I’m curious if you guys have seen any changes that you need to make within your organization since the halving in 2024. Let’s go with Mati. Oh, yeah, absolutely. I mean, the having is not a fun thing for bitcoin miner. It is definitely a gut punch. So basically you’re making plenty of money. We’re making plenty of money before the having through. We actually got started in January. So January, February, March, amazing months, April. Okay. You know that were able to get some subsidy from the, from the transaction fees which spiked on the halving day. May was our first month that were actually not profitable. As far as, you know, I mean, we’re mining profitably, but, you know, we have overhead, staff costs and stuff like that. So that was actually a loss. But, you know, a company that’s two years old, it’s kind of expected. I mean, just to be. Just to say that we’re a profitable company after just two years of operation is a pretty big feat in and of itself, considering that we basically started from nothing. So as far as the operational thing, you know, we did have to go in and reduce expenses, change, you know, negotiate with our power provider for cheaper electricity. And some of the staff, unfortunately, we had to move them from cash payments to equity payments just to make sure that in June we will be profitable once again. We certainly will be. As long as bitcoin doesn’t completely, you know, tank from here or this or the, you know, as long as bitcoin holds steady and the hash rate holds steady, we’ll have. We’ll have a beautiful month of June at this time. So hope that gives you a big picture. It’s, you know, we go from, yay, we’re making lots of money to suddenly, okay,nay, not making lots of money. But, you know, it’s all part of the business. As for us, we were also quite proactive about preparing for the halving. So we tried to cut our expenses as much as possible to focus more on efficiency in the months leading up to it, we knew the halving was coming and we tried to get our costs down as much as possible. And we also rely heavily on our diversification strategy. So we mine not just bitcoin, also other cryptos and we also offer a wide range of services to our clients. So it’s a suite of products. It’s an ecosystem that we believe in and we strive to grow to be as efficient and profitable as possible. But you know, it’s never easy for a small bitcoin miner but being smart about your costs and being able to diversify really helps. So yeah, it definitely did have an impact. But you know, we are adjusting well and are optimistic about the future. And how has the current market situation been overall for you guys? Let’s say post halving, the price fluctuations, the challenges on electricity costs and so forth? Yeah, I mean, the market is always going to be volatile, especially in this space. So, in terms of the price fluctuations, I mean, we’ve seen bitcoin, you know, it had its ups and downs were sitting just above that twenty thousand dollar mark as of recent, but it has been mostly steady. I think the biggest challenge has been electricity costs. That’s where we’ve had to be smart and employ strategies to save or generate our own electricity, where possible. We are constantly looking for ways to be more efficient in our operations and reduce costs. So, it’s something that we’re taking very seriously and we’ve been able to maintain a good balance. So overall, it’s about being adaptable and having a proactive approach to anticipate and react to market conditions. Being diversified also helps a lot, as I mentioned earlier. Okay, that’s interesting. On the technology aspect, how do you stay updated with new mining equipment and tech advancements, and how does that affect your operations? Well, we have an amazing team of experts. We always keep an eye on what’s going on in the market, and whenever a new technology comes up, we are quick to test it and see if it adds value to our operations. Being adaptive and keeping up with the latest advancements in mining equipment helps us stay ahead. We also constantly upgrade our equipment to remain as efficient as possible. So, definitely, keeping up with technology is critical in this industry. You need an it guy, especially if you’re planning on, you know, if you’re planning on running more than a few machines, you got to have a solid network. Connection. You got to have a specialized equipment to run the machines and to make sure that they’re always on and operating optimally, you know, let alone, you know, overclocking, underclocking, those type of things. It all can be pretty complicated. So that’s. That is exactly the reason why we started the crowd fund to begin with. Because, you know, in Satoshi’s world, you know, of 2009 to 2013, I mean, you could mine bitcoin with a laptop, right? And everybody was able to mine bitcoin. These days, it’s much more difficult. So this is why we opened the crowd fund, so that anybody can get involved in bitcoin mining, join our bitcoin mining community on the discord and invest in the company, and actually get a piece of the company. Rather than just buying one machine where you then have to take care of it and figure out where to plug it in, and blah, blah, you’re actually owning part of the company and participating in the future revenue of the company through our wefunder page. Great. I think so. So, in short, basically, instead of starting yo
