Better infrastructure increases Bitcoin mining profitability

Satokie Mining operates more than 180 megawatts of bitcoin mining infrastructure across the U.S., with new greenfield projects constantly coming online. With facilities in Oklahoma, Texas, Mississippi, and beyond, Satokie’s core mission is clear: maximize hashrate and uptime using the most efficient energy sources available. As co-founder Omar Alatorre put it, “We're always looking for stranded energy or areas where energy is being underutilized, and we optimize from there.”

But as Satokie moved beyond smaller container builds and began standing up megawatt-scale sites in record time, they encountered a consistent bottleneck: infrastructure that couldn’t keep up.

“A lot of Bitcoin mining is really just trying to get as cheap as possible,” Omar said. “But we started realizing infrastructure has a huge impact on uptime. You can’t skimp on it.”

This pain point became especially clear during the buildout of an air-cooled site in Enid, Oklahoma. The team needed cooling infrastructure fast, and they needed to trust that what showed up would meet their high standards.

“When you're working on greenfield infrastructure, you need timely delivery,” said Adrian Alatorre, who manages Satokie’s Enid repair and deployment facility. “Giga stepped up and delivered exactly when they said they would.”

Why Satokie chose Giga to scale Bitcoin mining operations

For a company like Satokie, execution speed and service quality aren’t just nice-to-haves: they’re essential. Delays can lead to unused power, missed uptime, and lost revenue. Omar had seen it firsthand.

“The biggest thing in Bitcoin mining is timeline, timeline, timeline,” he said. “You need to know if someone says one month, is it really one month, or is it four? With Giga, it was very clear. We set expectations, and they met those expectations.”

Beyond the delivery commitment, Satokie was drawn to Giga for its responsiveness. Having previously relied on internal builds or off-the-shelf options, the difference in service was immediate.

“The biggest one was customer service. Whenever we had a question, Giga was there.”

Adrian and Omar emphasized that what sealed the deal wasn’t just the sales process. It was the product performance and support that followed. “Everyone I’ve met there believes in what they do,” Adrian said. “And that matters. It shows in the product and in the partnership.”

Technical challenges for Satokie in Oklahoma

Satokie’s Enid site required more than a standard air-cooled deployment. The facility was built around Giga’s air-cooled container, custom-designed to support the latest generation of miners, including the S21 XP and S21 Pro.

The requirements were demanding. Airflow management had to be precise. Rack configurations needed to fit new-gen units while preserving serviceability. And pressure monitoring needed to be built in for long-term performance tracking.

“The new generation of Giga containers has major improvements,” Adrian explained. “Better pressure controls, variable speed fans, HMI features, and expanded rack space. It’s a product that keeps improving.”

Omar echoed that perspective. “You’ve got to think ahead. Can the container run the miners of tomorrow? Giga’s containers do that. That was huge for us.”

Fast delivery on mining equipment and post-sale support

Once Satokie confirmed its order, everything happened quickly. Giga coordinated directly with Satokie’s team to handle delivery logistics, crane coordination, and install timing.

“It was pretty straightforward,” said Omar. “You get an invoice, you pay it off, and then Giga keeps you updated throughout. When we had questions, like where’s the container or what’s the ETA, Giga was always clear and transparent.”

Satokie didn’t have long to wait. Just two days after they placed the order, Satokie received the data center from Giga’s factory in Los Angeles. Delivery happened quickly because Giga regularly restocks data centers and 3-phase padmount transformers

On-site, the install went smoothly thanks to proactive coordination and build quality that required minimal adjustment. When Satokie noticed a minor issue with a fan, Giga’s warranty and operations team responded immediately.

“They were fast, thorough, and walked us through troubleshooting before sending a replacement,” Adrian said. “That kind of support matters.”

Project outcomes and highlights

• Container delivered from Giga’s L.A. facility to Enid, OK, in approximately 2 days
• Fully compatible with S21 XP and S21 Pro miners
• Includes built-in pressure gauge visible via HMI for real-time airflow diagnostics
• Hot-swappable filters replaced during live operations with no downtime
• Warranty support initiated after one fan failed; resolved quickly through direct coordination with Giga’s operations team
• Enabled Satokie to maintain uptime and avoid hashrate losses from overheating or clogged airflow systems

How Satokie continues to grow with Giga

Today, Satokie continues to expand its proprietary mining footprint and operations-as-a-service business. From the 10 MW hydro facility in Enid to third-party operated sites across the Midwest and South, their goal is to exceed 900 MW in managed capacity over the coming years.

Giga infrastructure is part of that growth. “We’ve already placed more orders,” Omar said. “We’re building new greenfield sites now, and we want them online as fast as possible.”

More importantly, Satokie trusts that Giga will keep evolving its container platforms to match changing miner specs and airflow demands. “The pressure gauges, the HMI, the way filters can be swapped without disrupting operations…it’s all designed to make our job easier,” Adrian said.

When uptime and airflow equal revenue, even small design features matter. “With better airflow, we’re avoiding thermal throttling and bad hashboards,” Omar explained. “We’re seeing better site performance just from the way air is managed.”

Looking ahead, Satokie is even considering micro-scale AI applications and under-10 MW sites that will demand a similar level of responsiveness. “We’ve got to stay flexible, and Giga helps us do that,” Omar added.
