About

An energy-driven, modular data-center platform

BitRock builds off-grid gas generation adjacent to the gas source and consumes that power locally as high-value compute output — establishing cash flow first with mature workloads, then progressively upgrading toward AI compute.

The Model

Gas to power to compute, vertically integrated

The all-in power price of ~US$0.03/kWh is well below industrial grid tariffs and forms the core, through-cycle cost moat.

Gas supply

Purchase from gas retailers or the Bow River gas co-op, or acquire existing gas fields and wells and tap gas at the wellhead.

Generation

Rapidly deploy skid-mounted gas gensets (Yuchai, Weichai PowerGen, CAT Rental Power, Aggreko and similar) for off-grid self-supply.

Compute — two revenue lines

A | self-mining Bitcoin. B | AI/HPC compute colocation, where the client brings its own GPUs.

Circular use

Data-center waste-heat recovery feeding green cultivation — a planned extension segment.

Positioning & Roadmap

Cash flow first, then upgrade, then extend

The two workload lines can run in parallel, prioritized by return. Main line and scale are to be finalized per internal testing and client contracts.

Near term · Cash flow

Crypto / colocation

Use low-cost off-grid power for mature workloads.
Validate fast and recover the power-asset outlay.

Mid term · Upgrade

AI / HPC compute

Upgrade hall and cooling per client needs.
Host AI training and inference workloads.

Long term · Extension

Green energy · RWA

Waste-heat recovery for green cultivation.
Tokenization of energy and compute assets (RWA), where legally permitted.

Operating Track Record

The full chain is already running

The partner has already built and operates a live facility in this area: multiple skid-mounted gas gensets (Weichai PowerGen, CAT Rental Power, Aggreko) lined up along the yellow gas pipeline, ASIC miners running at full load, with a record of stable operation through extreme winter cold.

This proves the full chain — gas intake, skid generation, hall deployment and off-grid O&M — actually works. The project is a scaled replication of a proven model, not a paper plan.

On-site construction

~1–2 months

Modular and easily replicated, with quick government approvals and simple generation operations.

Equipment delivery cadence

~4 weeks

After down payment and finalization, first shipment begins in ~3 weeks, shipping weekly; Phase 1 equipment delivered within ~4 weeks.

Alberta Advantages

Supply, climate, connectivity and policy

Stated as set out in the project overview, and qualified where figures depend on market conditions.

Natural-gas supply

The WCSB is Canada's main gas basin — high output with limited takeaway. Sparse population, limited local consumption and constrained takeaway keep prices persistently below major North American hubs. Newell County is one of Alberta's largest oil-and-gas counties (2022 natural-gas output 3.1 billion m³, 8th province-wide), with abundant, nearby supply; the local Bow River gas co-op also provides pipeline gas.

Cold climate & natural cooling

Cold winters, cool summers and dry conditions year-round. Naturally low temperatures aid cooling with low PUE — ideal conditions for data centers and mining.

Off-grid self-supply

Off-grid self-supply avoids grid transmission and distribution fees and interconnection queues. Alberta has capped data-center grid access, with the Phase II queue extending to ~2027. Alberta's AI Data Center Strategy encourages bring-your-own-power (BYOP), with off-grid facilities exempt from the 2% data-center levy.

Fiber access & logistics

Alberta SuperNet fiber passes nearby for high-speed network access. A province-wide highway network supports fast, efficient equipment transport and modular deployment, and a province-wide pipeline network means gas can be tapped nearby without long-distance transport.

Tax & policy advantages

Alberta's combined corporate income tax is 23% (federal 15% + provincial 8%), the lowest in Canada. Off-grid self-supply under 75 MW is exempt from the 2% data-center levy. Accelerated depreciation (CCA Class 43 at 30% for power equipment; Class 50 at 55% for computing equipment, declining balance) defers cash taxes. Alberta has no provincial sales tax — only 5% GST, fully creditable as input tax.

Local support & corridors

The site sits directly on Canada's east–west arteries — the Trans-Canada Highway 1 and the CP Rail mainline. Premier Danielle Smith is herself the MLA for the Brooks–Medicine Hat riding, and local government strongly supports the energy and data-center sectors.
