   Satoshi Energy

   Oct 2025 — Present · Seattle, WA, US

   The energy transition isn’t just about new fuels — it’s also about re-architecting how value moves through the system. As renewables reshape the grid, we need transactions that move as fast as the electrons themselves. Programmable transactions let price, usage, and settlement adjust automatically to real-time conditions - turning the commercial layer of energy into software. This unlocks faster settlement, better incentives for generators, and new forms of flexible load that can stabilize the grid while lowering costs. Satoshi connects power generators directly with flexible, high-load customers through real-time, transparent energy settlement — using Bitcoin’s open monetary network to clear transactions with speed, neutrality, and trust. By streamlining development, origination, and settlement, we’re focused on scaling energy and compute together.I focus on structuring partnerships, contracts, and market frameworks that align incentives across the grid and help scale the Satoshi team by reducing contracting timelines and friction points.
