Backed by Nvidia and targeting a bold new frontier, Starcloud is preparing a space bitcoin mining initiative that could redefine orbital computing and energy use. Starcloud plans to begin mining Bitcoin from space later this year as it readies the launch of its second spacecraft. The startup aims to run dedicated mining hardware in orbit and position itself as the first company to operate a commercial mining system beyond Earth. Moreover, this plan fits into a wider ambition to deploy large orbital data centers.
