Green Mining DAO: A Snapshot
Green Mining DAO builds and operates modern Bitcoin mining infrastructure powered by renewable energy. The focus is on running Bitcoin mining efficiently and transparently while creating long-term structures that balance economic viability with environmental responsibility. GM Data Centers AG is the founding entity and functions as the backbone of our operations, securing power, initiating projects, and providing scalable services to its subsidiaries (GM3, GM4, etc.).
Through structured participation models, individuals and institutions can gain exposure to sustainable Bitcoin mining operations without managing hardware or daily operations themselves. Green Mining DAO handles site selection, energy sourcing, and the technical and operational setup of the mining facilities. Any resulting outputs are processed in line with the applicable structure and documentation and may be handled on a regular basis in the form of Bitcoin.
Green Mining DAO’s approach is based on the idea that profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand. By combining renewable energy, modern mining technology, and efficient infrastructure, the organization aims to make Bitcoin mining more resilient, transparent, and future-oriented. Regular updates and clear insights into operations and development are provided to support transparency and informed understanding.
