Monetize Your Stranded Energy For Data Centers
Data centers consumed 415 TWh of electricity in 2024—roughly 1.5% of global power—and that figure is projected to reach 945 TWh by 2030. Yet typical facilities operate at less than 50% utilization, with idle power representing 36% of total consumption. Melanin transforms this wasted capacity into Bitcoin revenue. Our agentic platform integrates with existing infrastructure—zero additional hardware required. Top facilities achieve PUE of 1.1 and over 60% now use renewable energy. Turn that efficiency into value: 97% of mining rewards go directly to your treasury wallet.
Integrate → Mine → Save
Integrate
Deploy Click software on your existing servers, GPUs, and idle compute infrastructure. Our lightweight agent maps stranded energy sources—cooling overhead, renewable intermittency windows, and low-utilization periods. No additional hardware required. Installation takes minutes per node, and fleet-wide deployment can be automated via your existing orchestration tools.
Mine
Our agentic AI continuously optimizes mining intensity based on real-time energy availability and grid demand signals. GPUs and ASICs run SHA256 for Bitcoin during off-peak hours while CPUs earn bonus Whive via the ARM-optimized Yespower algorithm. Mining pauses automatically during peak demand or critical workloads—your operations always take priority.
Save
Bitcoin rewards flow directly to your treasury wallet—non-custodial, with 97% of all mining revenue going to you. The platform generates ESG-compliant sustainability reports tracking energy utilization, carbon offset equivalents, and renewable attribution. Transform what was a pure cost center into a revenue-generating asset that improves your sustainability metrics.
The Data Center Opportunity
The data center industry consumed 415 TWh in 2024—about 1.5% of global electricity—with projections reaching 945 TWh by 2030. Yet idle power still accounts for 36% of consumption, and typical facilities operate at less than 50% utilization. Meanwhile, over 200 TWh of renewable energy is curtailed globally each year due to grid constraints. Melanin transforms these inefficiencies into Bitcoin revenue, turning cost centers into profit centers while improving sustainability metrics.
Excess Energy Sources

Data Center Value Proposition
Zero Capex
Deploy Melanin Click on your existing servers, GPUs, and compute infrastructure. No specialized mining hardware required—our software runs alongside your current workloads, activating only when resources are available. Start generating Bitcoin revenue immediately with zero upfront investment.
Energy Monetization
With 36% of data center power going to idle consumption and typical facilities running below 50% utilization, the opportunity is massive. Convert cooling overhead, renewable intermittency windows, and stranded capacity into Bitcoin revenue. Every kilowatt-hour becomes a potential earning opportunity.
Compute Utilization
Idle CPUs earn Whive via the ARM-optimized Yespower algorithm while GPUs run SHA256 for Bitcoin. Our multi-threaded architecture maximizes utilization across heterogeneous hardware—from x86 servers to ARM-based edge nodes. Decommissioned hardware awaiting disposal can generate value until final retirement.
Grid Flexibility
Participate in demand response programs with mining as flexible load. Our agentic scheduler automatically pauses during peak pricing or grid stress events and resumes during low-demand periods. Help stabilize the grid while optimizing your energy costs—mining becomes a grid asset, not a liability.
Sustainability
Over 60% of leading data centers now use renewable energy. Melanin helps you monetize that investment with ESG-compliant reporting that tracks renewable attribution, carbon offset equivalents, and energy efficiency metrics. Meet sustainability goals while generating returns—Bitcoin mining with purpose.
Non-Custodial
Mining rewards flow directly to your corporate treasury wallet via Stratum V2 encrypted connections. We never hold, touch, or have access to your funds. 97% of all mining revenue goes directly to you—the 3% platform fee is transparently visible in every coinbase transaction. Full auditability, zero custody risk.
