Bitcoin (BTC) mining heavyweight POW.RE reveals the process of acquisition of Block Green AG, Swiss-headquartered financial services firm. The conglomerate, which is expected to go live in three months, will merge the benefits of Bitcoin (BTC) mining facilities and seamless crypto and fiat financial operations.
POW.RE starts acquisition of Block Green AG
According to the official statement shared by its team, POW.RE, a veteran cryptocurrency mining entity, just started the process of acquisition of Bitcoin finance services provider Block Green. Secured with a letter of intent, the deal is expected to be completed in 90 days.
As a result of the massive merger, POW.RE is poised to assume full ownership of Block Green via a mix of equity, Bitcoin (BTC) and USD payments. This merger integrates POW.RE’s hydroelectric-powered mining operations in Paraguay and Northern Canada with Block Green’s financial offerings, which encompass revenue-streaming, lending and hedging solutions designed for miners and data center operators.
Mike Cohen, CEO of POW.RE, explains the game-changing strategy significance of the deal for both partners as well as for the Bitcoin (BTC) mining ecosystem as a whole:
This merger allows us to combine our strengths in a way that directly benefits both miners and investors. By integrating our sustainable mining capacity with Block Green’s financial products, we’re creating a one-stop platform where miners can access capital, hedge risks, and optimize their operations whilst investors gain exposure to a diversified, high-yield asset class backed by real hashrate.
He also stressed that the acquisition will make the Bitcoin (BTC) mining vertical more inclusive, transparent and democratic than ever before. The new entity will lower the barrier for newcomer onboarding.
It will offer structured financial products tailored to miners’ needs, including working capital facilities, hashrate-backed loans and off-balance-sheet financing options leveraging both balance sheet and third-party capital providers.
POW.RE and Block Green merger unlocks new opportunities for Bitcoin (BTC) economy
Sebastien Hess, CEO of Block Green, is sure that the upcoming milestone will open new instruments for yield generation for various groups of industry participants:
Our existing partnerships with key players in the mining and liquidity spaces give us a unique advantage. These relationships allow us to scale our financial products more effectively, ensuring that the solutions we offer are not only innovative but also trusted and reliable. This trust is crucial for expanding our reach and driving adoption across the ecosystem.
The integration process is already moving forward, with POW.RE’s mining capacity being woven into Block Green’s platform. The immediate focus is on establishing the combined entity as a sell-side market maker, but the long-term goal is broader.
Leveraging joint technical expertise and operational scale will allow the company to underwrite contracts and build investor confidence, delivering hashrate with minimal risk, as Cohen reaffirmed yet again.
