Deal Spotlight #9: Off-Grid Bitcoin Mining w/ Eric Rice
In this episode of the Deal Spotlight, I sat down with Eric Rice of Sovereign Capital to break down their innovative Digital Midstream Genesis project a deal that uniquely blends off-grid Bitcoin mining with oil and gas operations. Eric walks us through the history of Bitcoin, its decentralized power, and how the team leverages oil and gas byproducts (like flare gas) to achieve net negative energy costs, all while securing attractive tax benefits and delivering monthly Bitcoin distributions directly to investors. It's a fresh, compelling opportunity for accredited investors to ride the energy-crypto wave, and trust me, this is one deal you don't want to miss!
