00:00:02.015 --> 00:00:04.995
I actually started in the trad-fi world.

00:00:05.135 --> 00:00:07.755
I spent just under 10 years at the

00:00:07.755 --> 00:00:09.795
bank formerly known as Credit Suisse on the

00:00:09.795 --> 00:00:11.715
trading floor in the fixed income space.

00:00:12.035 --> 00:00:13.575
I spent most of my time in the

00:00:13.575 --> 00:00:16.095
interest rate derivatives and we'll come back to

00:00:16.095 --> 00:00:17.835
that in a minute because it's kind of

00:00:17.835 --> 00:00:20.255
gone full circle as the name of the

00:00:20.255 --> 00:00:23.395
game recently as companies are making the AI

00:00:23.395 --> 00:00:26.535
and HPC transformation is Credit and the capital

00:00:26.535 --> 00:00:27.015
stack.

00:00:27.875 --> 00:00:30.215
I spent about 10 years after that doing

00:00:30.215 --> 00:00:32.355
various entrepreneurial pursuits,

00:00:32.975 --> 00:00:35.355
did some investing, did some advising and operated

00:00:35.355 --> 00:00:37.295
at companies in a bunch of different industries.

00:00:37.795 --> 00:00:41.175
I got into Bitcoin mining in early 2021.

00:00:41.455 --> 00:00:43.715
I made a private investment in a small

00:00:43.715 --> 00:00:45.975
Bitcoin mining startup called US Bitcoin.

00:00:47.095 --> 00:00:49.315
I went on later that summer, early fall

00:00:49.315 --> 00:00:52.015
of 2021 to go partner with Asher,

00:00:52.415 --> 00:00:55.235
Genoot and Mike Ho at the time and

00:00:55.235 --> 00:00:57.175
teamed up with them was CFO of US

00:00:57.175 --> 00:00:58.955
Bitcoin for about two and a half years

00:00:58.955 --> 00:01:01.015
and I led the merger with Hut 8.

00:01:01.735 --> 00:01:05.435
My former friends and colleagues are running Hut 8

00:01:05.435 --> 00:01:07.555
today as that's kind of made a pretty

00:01:07.555 --> 00:01:08.355
big transformation.

00:01:09.395 --> 00:01:10.395
I took about a year and a half

00:01:10.395 --> 00:01:12.775
off to kind of reset which I think

00:01:12.775 --> 00:01:15.295
at certain points in people's careers is important

00:01:15.295 --> 00:01:18.095
to kind of get the bearing straight, spend

00:01:18.095 --> 00:01:20.395
some time with the family and last summer

00:01:20.395 --> 00:01:21.815
I had an ability to come back into

00:01:21.815 --> 00:01:24.415
a small Bitcoin miner called Cathedra Bitcoin.

00:01:24.495 --> 00:01:26.635
We were already listed on the TSXV.

00:01:27.595 --> 00:01:30.215
I ran that for several months and then

00:01:30.215 --> 00:01:32.135
we started to explore some growth in different

00:01:32.135 --> 00:01:35.215
capital opportunities and so that led us to

00:01:35.215 --> 00:01:39.415
a merger with Sphere 3D, the NASDAQ listed Bitcoin

00:01:39.415 --> 00:01:39.915
miner.

00:01:40.575 --> 00:01:43.875
That closed earlier this year in June 1st

00:01:43.875 --> 00:01:47.955
of 2026 and fast forward to about six

00:01:47.955 --> 00:01:50.455
weeks ago we did a full rebrand and

00:01:50.455 --> 00:01:52.215
a rename to DarkHorse Technologies.

00:01:52.695 --> 00:01:55.295
So all the assets, the power and land

00:01:55.295 --> 00:01:58.575
portfolio is operating under DarkHorse Technologies now.

00:01:58.975 --> 00:02:01.015
The ticker is DRK and it's all under

00:02:01.015 --> 00:02:01.575
one umbrella.
