Bitcoin mining × food
The heat of Bitcoin,put to work.
Bitcoin miners turn almost all of their electricity into heat. We capture it in water and use it to dry surplus fruit, so the same kilowatt-hour secures the network and feeds people.

Our vision
Every Bitcoin miner turns its electricity into heat. Every season, good fruit goes to waste. We connect the two, so the energy that secures the network also preserves the harvest.

01 The system
From hashrate to harvest.
Four standard industrial components, connected in one closed loop. Scroll to take it apart.
01 / Mine
Hydro miners run 24/7
Water-cooled Bitcoin miners earn their own power cost. A closed water loop carries their heat away.
02 / Exchange
Heat moves to a food-safe loop
A plate heat exchanger passes the heat to a second, separate loop. The two waters never touch.
03 / Store
A tank keeps the heat ready
A stratified hot-water tank stores the heat, so drying never depends on the miners' minute-by-minute output.
04 / Dry
Water-to-air, at 60 °C
A water-to-air coil and fan turn hot water into clean, warm air that dries the fruit at a steady 60 °C.
02 Impact
Measure the difference.
How recovered miner heat compares with conventional fruit drying, followed by a calculator for your own volumes.

03 Partners
Two ways to work with us.
Whether you dry food or mine Bitcoin, the same system turns a cost you have today into income.
For fruit and food dryers
Are you a drying company? See what you could earn.
Today you pay for every kilowatt-hour of heat. Place our system next to your dryer: the miners make the heat, the Bitcoin they mine pays for their power, and your heat bill turns into income.
One year of drying heat
20 t fresh fruit / month · ≈276 MWhSimulation, not yet measured in a trial. Bitcoin at €100,000. Includes a 5-miner system (€85,000, paid off over 4 years). Solar panel cost not included. Gas at about €0.06/kWh.
Today
- You buy gas or electricity to make heat
- Costs follow energy prices
- About 62 t of CO₂ a year from drying
With Second Bite
- The heat is paid for by mining
- You earn from your drying heat
- Same 60 °C, almost no CO₂
For Bitcoin miners and data centres
Are you a miner? Your heat already has a buyer.
Your machines turn almost all of their power into heat, and you pay for fans and dry coolers to throw it away. We connect hydro-cooled miners to food dryers that use every kilowatt-hour, giving you a second value stream that does not depend on the hashprice.
