Company Description
SAIHEAT Limited (NASDAQ: SAIH) is a computing and energy operator that focuses on infrastructure for Bitcoin (BTC) and artificial intelligence (AI) computing. According to the company’s disclosures, SAIHEAT operates as a global distributed computing power operator, using modular computing power systems to help energy owners address local energy consumption and resource utilization challenges. Its technologies and services are designed to support BTC cloud mining, AI computing, liquid-cooled data centers, and energy digitization and monetarization solutions for energy asset owners, with an emphasis on reducing the carbon footprint of energy-intensive computing.
Business Model and Core Divisions
SAIHEAT describes itself as a computing and energy operator dedicated to accelerating the realization of what it calls Sustainable Augmented Intelligence. The company highlights two main divisions:
- Computing division – offers BTC joint computing power (BTC cloud mining/joint mining) and AI cloud computing services. The company also reports self-mining activities and hosted services, and has referenced operations at facilities in the United States and Mexico in third-party research coverage.
- Energy division – provides liquid-cooled computing centers and small modular nuclear products, and develops technologies for advanced data center infrastructure and power supply.
In its financial reporting, SAIHEAT has identified four reportable segments: equipment sales, hosting, mining pool business, and mining. Equipment sales relate to products such as high-performance crypto asset mining machines and outdoor computing infrastructure containers. Hosting and mining pool services support third-party miners, while the mining segment reflects the company’s own digital asset mining activities.
Advanced Computing Center Ecosystem (ACCE) and Liquid Cooling
SAIHEAT has developed technologies for what it calls the Advanced Computing Center Ecosystem (ACCE), a computing center concept that incorporates high-performance servers, liquid cooling, and systems for capturing and recycling computing heat. The company has described ACCE as a liquid-cooling system that can enable data center operations with computing heat recycling. Through solutions such as its HEATWIT thermal module, SAIHEAT offers data center liquid cooling systems and solutions intended to recycle computing heat and support carbon-reduction objectives in BTC mining and AI computing.
In its public communications, SAIHEAT has also referenced a dual product line strategy (A/B Series) for liquid-cooled infrastructure. A Series products are described as covering power ranges suitable for AI data centers, while B Series products are described as focusing on BTC mining with significant noise reduction. These offerings are part of the company’s broader approach that integrates liquid cooling, waste heat recovery, and computing infrastructure for digital assets and AI workloads.
Waste Heat Recovery and Green Development
SAIHEAT has reported securing a patent for a “Waste Heat Recovery System and Method”. This patent addresses an industry issue where mainstream server or chip cooling solutions discharge large amounts of heat carried by a cooling medium, resulting in energy waste. The patented system architecture consists of a heat generation end, a waste heat utilization end, a cooling end, and a control end. The control end adjusts the distribution ratio of heat carried by the cooling medium between the waste heat utilization end and the cooling end by changing the opening degrees of two valves. According to the company, this design enables efficient recovery and utilization of waste heat from the heat generation end and improves energy utilization efficiency.
SAIHEAT states that it positions technological innovation as a core strategy, increasing research and development investment and building a professional R&D team. The company links its waste heat recovery work to efforts to reduce energy waste and carbon emissions, contribute to green and low-carbon development, and support environmental, social, and governance (ESG) responsibilities.
Small Modular Reactor (SMR) and Nuclear Energy Initiatives
SAIHEAT has also developed a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) business line. The company has announced that the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has approved SAIHEAT as a vendor of SMRs, endorsing the conceptual design and reactor description it submitted. The approved SMR concept is based on an integral reactor design intended for deployment in ground-based SMR power stations. The plant integrates core systems such as the reactor, steam turbine generator, and automated control and protection systems.
The SMR plant design, as described by SAIHEAT, uses established technologies and materials to meet safety and regulatory expectations. Features highlighted include compactness, reduced radiation exposure, minimized pressurized coolant interfaces, and a sealed safety containment that houses all primary circuit components. The company has outlined safety systems such as an Emergency Cooldown System, Emergency Reactor Cooling, absorber input for emergency shutdown, overpressure prevention systems, multi-layer containment and protective structures, and dedicated cooling systems for equipment safety.
SAIHEAT has also reported receiving an invention patent authorization for a “Control Rod Drive Mechanism for Small Modular Pressurized Water Reactors (SMRs)”. This mechanism is described as enhancing core reactivity control through a compact design, precision, and reliability, with the goal of improving operational safety and flexibility in nuclear power plants. The company links this patent to the strengthening of its intellectual property portfolio and its plans to advance SMR industrialization and deployment.
Integrated Computing–Energy Model and Product Modules
In its public materials, SAIHEAT presents an integrated computing–energy model that connects computing workloads with energy infrastructure. The company has described:
- HEATWIT thermal module – data center liquid cooling systems and solutions for computing heat recycling, associated with its ACCE concept and liquid-cooled computing centers.
- HEATNUC power module – focused on global power resource development and modular nuclear power joint development, including small modular nuclear products intended to power AI computing centers and next-generation digital infrastructure.
SAIHEAT has discussed using computing power Bitcoin mining as a way to address issues such as lack of stable customers at the early stage of infrastructure construction and long cost recovery cycles for energy projects. By pairing computing workloads with energy assets, the company aims to support energy digitization and monetarization for energy asset owners.
Services and Customer Focus
SAIHEAT has outlined several categories of services related to its computing and energy operations. These include:
- Bitcoin currency mining and BTC joint computing power, including services that range from BTC joint mining to related asset custody services for eligible investors, supported by improved computing power.
- Associate Petroleum Gas (APG) reutilization, described as associated gas reutilization services to energy asset owners, intended to help large enterprises in oil and gas fields create value from idle energy through energy digitization and monetarization solutions.
- SMR-based integrated solutions for sovereign countries, based on modular nuclear power, intended to help build new generations of digital energy infrastructure.
The company has also referenced a customer base of small and medium-scale computing clients across certain regions in third-party research coverage, and has described containerized AI computing solutions and liquid-cooled containers for clients such as a subsidiary of Bitdeer Technologies Group.
