Hydropower Bitcoin Mining: Our Wisconsin Facility

Sazmining’s next mining facility is now live!

Our President and COO, Kent Halliburton, recently visited the data center (located in Wisconsin) and returned with tons of pictures and videos of the entire operation.

This data center runs exclusively on hydropower, which fulfills our promise to you that all of our Bitcoin mining rigs run on 100% renewable energy. Like many hydropower plants, the facility sits beside a man-made dam that redirects the natural flow of a nearby river. This design ensures a continuous supply of water to generate electricity. Turbines and generators transform the water's kinetic energy into power, which is then used to run your Bitcoin miners.

Hydro-Powered Hashing

This dam, constructed in the 1920s, stands out for its reliability despite—or perhaps because of—its age. Remarkably, it is one of the few facilities in the United States capable of jump-starting the grid if needed. Our generators have the capacity to restore power to parts of the grid in the event of a blackout.

In particular, our generators and transformers were made by Westinghouse, an American manufacturing company founded way back in 1886.

George Westinghouse, the company’s founder, played a pivotal role in the so-called War of the Currents. He and Nikola Tesla fought with Thomas Edison over whether direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC) would define our electricity system. Westinghouse and Tesla advocated for AC, which eventually won out over DC.

Sazmining has hitched its wagon to the victor of this little-known but historically monumental battle!

Continuing the Era of Hard Money

Many of you may understand the deleterious effect that the fiat standard has on our time preference, as Saifedean Ammous explains in both The Bitcoin Standard and The Fiat Standard. The fiat standard has significantly shortened time horizons, leading modern construction to prioritize immediate profits over harmony with its surroundings. This short-sighted approach often results in the destruction, overconsumption, and disregard of nature.

Built during the era of the gold standard, this data center reflects the long-term vision of its original stewards, who had a far lower time preference than today’s builders. As a result, the facility is thoughtfully integrated with the surrounding natural environment. For instance, nearby canoe campsites remain entirely undisturbed by our operations. Likewise, local wildlife—including eagles, turkeys, deer, and wolves—faces no threat from our activities.

There’s something poetic about setting up our first Bitcoin mining operation in a facility that was built during the gold era. We’re continuing the hard money, low time preference legacy of our ancestors while proudly skipping over the dark era of the fiat standard.

In Case of Emergency, Use the Sun!

You can rest assured that the hydropower will consistently keep your rigs running without interruption. Additionally, our Bitcoin mining facility is equipped with a backup power source powered by solar energy, as shown below.

Of course, our hydroelectric power means nothing if it’s not connected to Bitcoin miners. Check out the photo below to see some customer machines, hashing and happy. We have space for 350 rigs at this facility, and we're already 100% full!

We have onsite 24/7 maintenance, so if you ever have any issues with your rig(s), you’ll be taken care of in very short order.

Aligned Incentives are Key

At Sazmining, we believe in aligning incentives, just like any true Bitcoiner. Our revenue is tied directly to the Bitcoin your rigs mine—we earn only when you earn. This commitment drives us to ensure our facility operates at peak efficiency and productivity. With Sazmining, you can trust that your rigs will reliably generate fresh, never-before-held Bitcoin as passive income.

With Sazmining, you can be sure that your rigs will consistently generate never-before-held Bitcoin as passive income.

Begin Your Bitcoin Mining Journey with Sazmining

Sazmining is incredibly excited for you to begin your Bitcoin mining journey with us. Everything has gone according to plan: we’ve done the background work, the facility is fully functional, and we're constantly mining fresh Bitcoin.

I urge you to watch the short video of Kent’s trip to our facility. His excitement is infectious. I know you can feel it, too!
