#31 - Jason Les: Surviving and Thriving as a Publicly Traded Bitcoin Mining Company

Closing the Loop

Show Notes

Our guest today is Jason Les, CEO of Riot Blockchain.

Riot is one of the largest publicly traded bitcoin miners in the world, with a current hash rate capacity of 4.8EH/s, and an expected self-mining capacity of 12.6EH/s by Q1 2023.

The bitcoin mining industry is notoriously competitive, and that is especially the case right now in the fall of 2022, as a confluence of factors conspire to reveal which among the current operators are capable of weathering the storm.

As such, I thought now would be a perfect time to have Jason on to discuss his story, how he thinks about building successful bitcoin mining operations, as well as the broad and massive implications of this burgeoning new industry.

Enjoy!
