About us
Elevating Bitcoin Mining to New Height
2017
THE IDEA
The idea of approaching the world of digital mining was born in the context of significant growth in the blockchain sector, when we began a research journey focused on the sustainability of the system starting with its infrastructure.
2018
THE FOUNDING
Founded in Trento (IT) in 2018, Alps Blockchain aims to promote Bitcoin mining made in Italy, using renewable energy. However, in Italy, mining is not widespread, and the hydroelectric sector is facing challenges due to the expiration of government incentives.
2019
THE SOLUTION
The Alps Farm Italy project was launched, proposing a new business opportunity in the energy sector by building carbon-neutral hydroelectrically powered mining farms.
2020
FIRST TEST
Tecnoenergia, a technical partner, successfully installed and tested the first Italian Alps Farm in one of their power plants, confirming the profitability of the model.
2021
LEADER IN ITALY
The Alps Farm model expands along the Alps and into different Italian regions. We reach hydroelectric power stations throughout northern Italy, collaborating with private, public and para-public entities.

Advanced technology
We integrate advanced technical and technological systems by taking care of everything from the choice of hardware and the implementation of state-of-the-art cooling systems to the development and customisation of software and firmware. This allows us to maximise our efficiency and automate or manage tailor-made technology solutions.
Energy efficiency and sustainability
Our growth strategy aims to promote sustainability. We make strategic choices to maximise and prioritise the use of renewable sources for mining and invest in initiatives to accelerate an energy transition focused on decarbonisation.
Internationalisation
Our international expansion strategy is designed to align our business with the needs and characteristics of the countries in which we operate. We invest long-term in local markets to generate a positive impact on energy systems. This allows us to bring added value to the countries involved.
