Satoshi Energy has quietly grown from a Bitcoin-energy specialist into a power-first data-center developer with a multigigawatt pipeline. The important part is separating what is already operating from what is still planned. The company now advertises a 5+ GW powered-land pipeline and says it has developed or originated roughly 1.2 GW of powered land. Its…
