Turning hashrate into healthcare, education and economic development
Impact Mining forms partnerships with non-profits and B-corps that are sustainably powering communities in emerging economies. These partners develop high impact projects where lowering electricity prices will immediately increase productive usage.
How it Works
- Bitcoin miners direct hashrate to the donation pool
and Bitcoin payouts occur daily to the donation node - For each project, Synota calculates energy costs
and bitcoin is instantly routed to
project partners to lower electricity prices - People, hospitals, schools and business pay less
for electricity, usage is tracked, and impact is
reported to the hashrate donors
Why it Works
- It’s simple, and donating hashrate has tax advantages
- It’s efficient, nearly 100% of donations go to the projects
- It’s impactful, the benefits are direct, immediate, and measurable
Goal for Impact Mining
Achieve a $30 million run rate by the next bitcoin halving – around April 2028. $30 million could lower energy costs 20% for hundreds of thousands of homes, hospitals, schools and businesses, potentially putting millions of people on an accelerated path to an abundant energy future.
Today, achieving the goal for Impact Mining requires around
0.2% of global Bitcoin hashrate. One block at a time…

Director, Impact Mining at Synota
“Impact Mining is more than philanthropy—it’s proof of concept for the transformation of global energy finance that technology now enables. Global energy finance MUST be transformed to increase energy abundance. For example, the financial risk and friction associated with investing in emerging markets keeps billions of dollars from flowing to energy infrastructure projects. I am excited because Synota has the potential to unlock new ways of pooling capital, generating liquidity, and aligning incentives.”
