Some of the smartest, best people I’ve ever worked with are @GalaxyHQ teammates.
Let’s goooooo!!
Big milestone for @GalaxyHQ! Our registration statement is now effective with the SEC. We’re on track to list on Nasdaq shortly after our shareholder vote on May 9, contingent on completing our reorganization. Let’s go! hubs.li/Q03ghz5_0

The extended wait times for large data centers to connect to the grid highlight the growing importance of seasoned Bitcoin miners who’ve proven they can develop, operate, and scale at pace. As connection timelines stretch to as long as seven years, it’s clear that #Datacenters and #compute companies will lean on partnerships with established teams who can deliver quickly and reliably. This gives public #Bitcoin miners a significant edge, as they’ve already shown they can execute on a large scale, positioning them as essential players in powering the future without the delays that newcomers will face.
And #Texas? We're just getting started. Rooted in a business #culture that values grit, innovation, and a permissionless approach, Texas is on track to become the flexible compute capital of the world. Our @ERCOT_ISO grid, built on the spirit of #entrepreneurship, invites bottom-up solutions from those ready to take on the challenge. Bitcoin miners, in partnership with ERCOT leadership, research institutes, and forward-thinking policymakers, are laying the groundwork for a future where #AI data centers requiring gigawatts of power can scale effortlessly. This isn't just about keeping up—it's about setting the pace.
Texas is all about accelerating energy abundance, creating jobs, and leading the charge to safely push the boundaries of what's possible. We’re on the path to deliver more jobs, spark greater innovation, and ensure reliable, affordable power for all. The best is yet to come.
$IREN Dominion Energy expects the time it takes to connect large data centers to the electric grid to increase by one to three years amid a surge in requests, bringing the total wait time to as long as seven years.
The longer wait time applies only to large data centers that need more than 100 megawatts of electricity and won’t affect projects that have already been evaluated, according to a letter the company’s transmission arm sent its regulated utility as well as co-ops and local utilities.
4/ The Power Play
Miners with power assets are now positioned as attractive targets. With the likes of hyperscalers willing to pay premiums for power capacity, driving up miner valuations. AWS's purchase at $677K per MW exemplifies this trend.
3/ Business Consolidation & Reverse Mergers
Legacy fixed-rate agreements are no longer viable, leading to widespread consolidation. Reverse merging being a strategic option as miners seek economic stability and scalability.
2/ Vertical Integration: The New Norm
Miners are acquiring power access and sites to control costs and optimize operations, especially as post-halving hashprice hits record lows. Over 1.1 GW of power access has changed hands.
1/ Bitcoin Mining M&A in 2024: A Strategic Shift
2024 has seen over $460M in M&A transactions in #Bitcoin mining. Miners are focusing on vertical integration and strategic acquisitions to enhance operational control and efficiency.

Transaction fees skyrocketed following the halving. Now that we are a few hundred blocks into the new bitcoin halving cycle, let's observe how things have progressed since block 840,000.
A quick 🧵on transaction fees for the first 400 blocks mined post-halving:

8/ As we navigate the complexities and opportunities of #Bitcoin mining, hedging and M&A stand out as key strategies for stability and growth. The journey ahead is challenging but filled with potential for innovative and strategic partnerships
7/ Capacity Crunch & Acquisition Opportunities🔍
Facing full sites and long lead times for new infrastructure, miners are on the lookout for acquisitions to accommodate new hashrate, signaling a busy year for turnkey site deals in 2024.
6/ The Real Option of a Mining Operation💡
Acquiring energized mining operations can present a strong return opportunity, especially in deregulated energy markets. As sites can be utilized as a proxy for energy arbitrage.
5/ Attractive Small Caps & Vertical Synergies ✅
Smaller and more vertically integrated miners are prime targets. These moves aim at lowering costs, enhancing operational control, and navigating the halving with resilience.
