Starcloud, a pioneering space computing startup based in the U.S., is forging ahead with an audacious plan: to deploy Bitcoin mining equipment in space and strive to become the inaugural company worldwide to carry out Bitcoin mining in orbit. Backed by prominent institutions like NVIDIA, Starcloud's long-term vision extends beyond merely launching mining rigs into space. The company aspires to capitalize on the abundant solar energy and the vacuum conditions of space to construct expansive orbital data centers. This strategic move would enable energy-intensive operations, such as artificial intelligence computing and cryptocurrency mining, to be conducted efficiently in the space environment.
