From Oil Waste to Bitcoin — Inside look at a real bitcoin mining site using flare gas at an oilfield to power off-grid mining rigs in West Texas.

We visited Verde Mining, a company turning stranded natural gas from oil production into electricity for bitcoin miners. Instead of flaring or venting excess gas, they run a full-scale gas-to-power mining operation deep in the Texas oilfields.

This episode explores how bitcoin mining with flare gas works, the infrastructure behind off-grid bitcoin mining, and why oil fields are becoming unlikely hubs for digital asset production. Verde’s CEO walks us through the site and explains the economics and energy tech behind the operation.
