About Verde Mining

We Source the Gas, Assemble the Team, and Get Bitcoin Miners Deployed and Running Off-Grid — and We Help Oil and Gas Producers Find the Right Buyer for Their Gas

Our Story

Verde Mining started in the field.

We built and operated our own natural-gas-powered bitcoin mining sites in Texas. We sourced gas, sized generators, selected miners, ran the day-to-day operations. We dealt with blown engines, bad gas, equipment failures, and everything else that comes with running a live site.

First we made the expensive mistakes. Then got to a point where we operated with over 98% uptime over 4+ years.

Along the way, operators started asking us how we did it. Oil and gas producers who were flaring gas or selling it for pennies. Bitcoin miners looking for cheaper, more reliable power. Investors trying to evaluate deals they didn't fully understand.

They all had the same problem: they couldn't find anyone who had actually done it and was willing to help them do it too.

So we started sourcing gas for miners, connecting producers with buyers, and showing people exactly how this works.

"I would be paying for many costly mistakes from inexperience had I not taken this course."

President, Fuego Exploration

Why We Exist

Most operators who try to figure this out on their own follow the same path.

They piece together information from online and vendor pitches. They get conflicting advice. They buy equipment before understanding how the full system works. They skip a step somewhere and it costs them months of downtime and tons of money.

We built Verde Mining so you don't have to go through that.

Everything we teach comes from deploying and operating real sites.

We source the gas and assemble the team, or teach you how to do it for yourself. We've compressed years of trial and error into a clear, proven process. So whether you need the gas, the deployment, the knowledge, or all three, you're working with people who've done it with their own money on the line.

What We Believe

Stranded gas is one of the largest overlooked opportunities in energy today.

Operators across the country are flaring gas, selling it for pennies, or leaving it in the ground. Natural-gas-powered bitcoin mining turns that waste into a new, consistent revenue stream.

The operators who act early will capture the most value.

This opportunity won't stay hidden forever. The people who move now with the right knowledge and the plan will be the ones who benefit the most.

The right network changes everything.

Knowing which generator mechanic to call, which equipment supplier to trust, and which insurance provider understands off-grid mining can take years to learn. We already have those relationships.

"The best part of this training is the network of people you get connected to. I love knowing I have a group of people to reach out to for future business deals, advice, or industry updates. I don't feel like I am doing it alone."

Clint Croft
Oil & Gas Manager

What Makes Us Different

We are real operators and oil and gas professionals. We built and operated our own sites before we ever did this for anyone else. When we walk you through gas sourcing, generator selection, or site design, it's because we've done it ourselves.

We do the part you can't do alone. The hardest piece of gas-powered mining isn't the mining, it's finding the gas and assembling everything around it. That's what we do. We source the gas, connect you with the right service providers, and get you from contract to an operating site.

We've seen what goes wrong. We've dealt with H2S, bad gas quality, generator failures, vendor delays, and equipment mismatches. We know what the failure points are because we've lived through them.

Learn From Operators Who've Done It Before

This isn't run by consultants who read about bitcoin mining or presenters who've never set foot on a well site. Everyone you work with has direct, hands-on experience building and running natural-gas-powered mining sites.

Who We Work With

We work with three types of people:

Bitcoin miners

Bitcoin miners who need cheaper power. Stranded natural gas can be the lowest-cost power source there is, but the deals aren't easy to find on your own. We source the gas, then assemble whichever pieces you need to get online and stay running.

Oil & gas producers

Oil & gas producers who have stranded, flared, or undervalued gas and want a better way to monetize it. We bring you a qualified bitcoin-miner buyer at no cost to you.

Energy investors

Energy investors who want to evaluate gas-to-bitcoin opportunities. They need to understand the full operation before committing capital.
