The West Texas Loophole Bitcoin Miners Are Exploiting w/ Chris Alfano
🔗 Chris Alfano:Website: https://360energyco.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christopher-alfano-a195a058/X (Twitter): https://x.com/chrisallfanoIn this episode of HashrateUp, Jesse sits down with Chris Alfano, CEO of 360 Energy, to break down one of the most overlooked power cost advantages in Bitcoin mining: negative-priced natural gas in West Texas.Chris explains why the Waha Hub has traded at negative prices 70% of the time over the last three years, what's driving that structural imbalance in the Permian Basin, and how Bitcoin miners can co-locate at stranded gas sites to access energy costs that go below zero. The conversation covers 360 Energy's origin story, two and a half years of off-grid R&D, their APEX gas offtake model, and the contrarian case for deploying into Bitcoin mining right now while the rest of the industry pivots to AI.Whether you're an operator looking for your next marginal cost of power or a miner sitting on older-generation ASICs wondering where to redeploy them, this episode lays out a concrete playbook for mining profitably in a low hash price environment.0:00 Introduction & 360 Energy background7:00 Raising $6M in 2021 and the school of hard knocks15:51 The AI pivot and the contrarian case for Bitcoin mining22:00 Why West Texas gas trades negative: Permian Basin explained28:24 $1,800/day revenue per 1.2 MW just for consuming gas35:48 ASIC redeployment: off-grid sites as a hospice for older miners43:13 Scale, service model, and rapid fire questions🛠 Sponsored by:SoloMining – Home & solo mining made easyCode: HASHRATEUPhttps://solomining.deAltair Technology – Buy Bitcoin Mining SolutionsCode: HASHRATEUPhttps://altairtech.io📲 HashrateUp Hardware DealsTelegram: https://t.me/hashrateup📩 HashrateUp Newsletterhttps://hashrateup.com/newsletter-sign-up/#BitcoinMining #OffGridMining #NegativeEnergyPrices #WestTexas #HashrateUp #ASIC #BitcoinMiner

CoinShares: 1 in 5 Bitcoin Miners Is Unprofitable Right Now [NEWS]
In this episode of HashrateUp, Jesse breaks down the latest Bitcoin mining news -- from hash price and difficulty trends to public miner financials, Bhutan's Bitcoin sell-off, AI competition for power, and new developments from Luxor, Tether, and the solo mining community.What are public miners actually paying to produce one Bitcoin once you factor in salaries, financing, and overhead beyond the electricity bill? Jesse challenges the "3.8 cents all-in" narrative from Riot's Q1 2026 report and questions whether large-scale miners are truly profitable at current prices. Also covered: CoinShares estimates up to 20% of miners are now below breakeven, Bhutan has offloaded 70% of its Bitcoin reserves in 18 months, and Anthropic's multi-gigawatt compute deal is intensifying competition for cheap power across the U.S.On the innovation side: Tether and Canaan are developing modular mining infrastructure that separates compute from power and enclosure, Luxor has committed to a $100M MicroBT hardware purchase alongside a new miner OS for the M50 series, and the Parasite Pool mined its second block just 48 days after its first.0:00 Hash price, difficulty & mempool update1:47 Seal Miner A4 & Riot sells BTC to fund AI pivot2:22 What public miners actually pay to produce 1 BTC3:51 Bhutan sold 70% of its Bitcoin in 18 months5:57 AI is competing for miners' cheap power (Anthropic)7:17 CoinShares: 20% of miners unprofitable8:51 Parasite Pool mines 2nd block in 48 days9:59 Hut 8, Tether x Canaan & Luxor x MicroBT🛠 Sponsored by:SoloMining -- Home & solo mining made easyCode: HASHRATEUPhttps://solomining.deAltair Technology -- Buy Bitcoin Mining SolutionsCode: HASHRATEUPhttps://altairtech.io📲 HashrateUp Hardware DealsTelegram: https://t.me/hashrateup📩 HashrateUp Newsletterhttps://hashrateup.com/newsletter-sign-up/#BitcoinMining #BitcoinNews #HashPrice #MiningNews #HashrateUp
