When the 75-year-old Kläger Group, a German industrial manufacturer with three production sites, faced rising energy costs and market uncertainty, it began exploring Bitcoin as a way to strengthen operational resilience. Out of this process, Terahash emerged — a dedicated company focused on integrating Bitcoin into real-world industry and energy systems. Guided by a small internal team with strong technical and organizational expertise, Terahash developed a practical three-step approach: holding Bitcoin as a reserve asset, using surplus renewable power for mining, and building managed mining services. In this talk, Matthias Fendt, Founding Member and Head of Operations & Sales at Terahash, shares how these steps evolved into Kläger Groups business model and how this blueprint helps others to apply Bitcoin within industrial environments.
This talk explores how Terahash was founded from within a real-world industrial environment — the Kläger Group — at a time when rising energy costs, regulatory pressure, and economic volatility required new forms of resilience and creativity.
From his position in lead infrastructure project management at the Kläger Group, Matthias Fendt was part of the team that began exploring how Bitcoin could be used not only as a financial asset, but as an operational and energetic tool. What started as a small internal initiative developed into a structured strategy — and eventually into the foundation of a new company: Terahash.
Terahash emerged as a bridge between industry, energy, and Bitcoin infrastructure.
-> Bitcoin as a Strategic Reserve – Integrating Bitcoin into the corporate structure as a long-term financial reserve and treasury asset.
-> Mining with Surplus Power – Using renewable electricity during off-peak hours to mine Bitcoin, improving energy efficiency and grid flexibility.
-> Managed Mining Infrastructure – Developing the Genesis and Aurora Site in Finland, powered entirely by renewable energy and featuring integrated heat reuse and grid flexibility — serving as an example for future industrial projects around the world.
Today, Terahash provides Managed Mining, Energy Integration, and Educational Services, supporting companies, utilities, and municipalities that aim to incorporate Bitcoin into their operations or energy strategies.
Presented by Matthias Fendt, Founding Member and Head of Operations & Sales at Terahash, former responsible for Infrastructure Project Management at the Kläger Group, this talk offers a practical, first-hand perspective on how Bitcoin can evolve from an internal idea into a productive and scalable part of industrial systems.
