About this episode
Finland is emerging as one of the most attractive Bitcoin mining destinations in the world — and in this episode, Jesse sits down with Daniel Jonsson (MGMT) to unpack why. They discuss how Finland’s unique energy mix of 41% nuclear baseload, fast-growing wind capacity, and strong hydro creates some of the most miner-friendly power dynamics in Europe. Daniel explains how flexible operations and grid balancing can outperform traditional 100% uptime mining, why older-gen ASICs suddenly make sense again, and how miners can benefit from zero or even negative power prices. The conversation explores Finland’s development pipeline, second-life hardware strategies, heat reuse with storage, the challenges of Iceland’s shifting policy landscape, and how Daniel is structuring a Luxembourg-based digital infrastructure fund aimed at capturing these emerging opportunities. Whether you’re scaling a site, evaluating European power markets, or studying the future of flexible mining, this episode offers a highly practical deep dive into the Nordic advantage.
