Sterling Digital eyes AQSE listing as it fuels off-grid Bitcoin mining assets with stranded gas

Episode Summary

Sterling Digital Plc CEO Stefan Michaelides joined Stephen Gunnion in Proactive's studio with more on the company’s unique approach to off-grid Bitcoin mining and its upcoming listing on the Aquis Growth Market. Sterling Digital is distinguishing itself from traditional miners by utilising stranded natural gas from oil fields, primarily in the United States, to power its operations. According to Michaelides, this model provides a cost advantage and addresses an environmental challenge by capturing methane-rich gas that would otherwise be vented or flared. He explained, “We’re not only solving an environmental issue, but creating a valuable asset at the same time.” The company sources the gas at prices under one dollar per MCF, which translates to approximately half a cent per kilowatt-hour—significantly lower than grid-based energy costs. Michaelides also discussed the scalability of Sterling Digital’s operations, noting that a series of assets are already lined up, setting a clear path for the next 12 to 18 months. While future international expansion is being considered, the focus remains firmly in the United States for now. Sterling Digital plans to hold its mined Bitcoin as part of a treasury policy, potentially lending to liquidity providers to earn yield. The company's ticker on the Aquis exchange will be ASIC.
