Dropping in again, with an in-person recording from the media lounge at the Bitcoin 2025 Las Vegas conference, Kyle is joined by Aydin Kilic, CEO of HIVE Technologies.
Kilic leads HIVE, a leading crypto mining company, that has positioned itself a leader among the Bitcoin mining landscape. Poised for significant growth, HIVE is targeting $500 million in annualized revenue––with a market cap under $400 million. As a publicly traded company these are impressive figures.
But HIVE, like all miners is facing major challenges with the declining hash rates. Hear from Kilic, how HIVE has plans to expand its operations to 18 hash sites this summer, leveraging green hydro energy and strategic Bitcoin mining techniques.
Aydin was a fun chat, he’s got good energy, and even pushed me for a photo after. Anyone willing to do that has great vibes in my book.
Stick to the end of the interview as we hear Kilic give his predictions of potential Bitcoin prices by 2025.
