Powering the Future Economy | Bitcoin 2026
Bitcoin mining and AI data centers aren't competitors, they're the perfect grid-balancing partnership, and this Bitcoin 2026 Conference Nakamoto stage panel proves it. CleanSpark Executive Chairman Matt Schultz and MARA Holdings Chairman & CEO Fred Thiel sit down with Nishant Sharma of BlocksBridge Consulting to explain how Bitcoin miners are unlocking up to 100GW of stranded U.S. grid capacity, why HPC contracts are riskier than the headlines suggest, and how the duck curve, peaker plants, and renewable intermittency all favor flexible Bitcoin loads. They also reveal how CleanSpark beat a $1 trillion hyperscaler in Cheyenne, Wyoming.Use code BM10 to get 10% off Bitcoin 2027 Conference in Nashville: https://2027.b.tc
