Powering the Future of American Farming

Wed, Feb 25 · 6:30 PM EST

Pubkey DC, 410 Seventh St NW,, Washington, DC, US

​What if the American small farm could double as a high-tech power plant and farmers could become their own bank? Join us at PubKey DC for an exploration of a new frontier in rural land use. We’re sitting down with Mark Smith, CEO of Carbon Country, and Hunter Budd from the Digital Energy Council to break down a scalable model for the modern grower.

👉 RSVP on LUMA

You’ll get an inside look at how integrating agrivoltaics (solar + grazing) with on-site Bitcoin mining creates a financial "flywheel" for regenerative agriculture. By monetizing excess energy and sequestering carbon through biochar, this model offers small farms a path toward energy independence and diversified revenue. Come find out how the intersection of Bitcoin and land stewardship is building a more resilient, decentralized grid—one pasture at a time.
