About this episode

Rajiv Khemani discusses Auradine's innovative strategies in the ASIC mining industry.

Rajiv Khemani, co-founder & CEO of Auradine , sits down with Justin Ballard (@JLB_Oso) and Jake Corley (@jacobcorley) live from Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas to pull back the curtain on America’s newest 3 nm ASIC powerhouse. Auradine They break down: Hydro Hash Density – 600 TH/s packed into a 2U rack and tunable down to 13.5 J/TH for “eco-mode” efficiency. AI-by-Day, Bitcoin-by-Night – shared liquid-cooling racks that swing idle GPU power into mining revenue in seconds. Heat Recapture Hustles – turning spent watts into shower water, fish-farm warmth, and any creative thermal side-gig you can dream up. Tariff-Proof Supply Chain – why building chips at TSMC but assembling in the U.S. (or non-China Asia) hedges geopolitical risk. $150 M War Chest & Creative Financing – how fresh capital lets Auradine offer pay-as-you-mine terms and sell standalone chips for DIY devices. If you’re obsessed with mining density, cheap electrons, and staying geopolitically uncancelled, this episode hands you the playbook.
