An orbital data center company, Starcloud, has announced plans to commence Bitcoin mining operations in space. CEO Philip Johnston highlighted the economic advantages, noting that mining Bitcoin on ASICs in space is projected to be 30 times cheaper per kilowatt-hour compared to using GPUs. This initiative signals a potential new frontier for energy-efficient cryptocurrency mining.
