Sean Campbell, Managing Director/ Head Of Distribution; Katherine Brand, Managing Director; Kevin Hertz, Co-Founder and Head Of Mining Operations, Deep Hash Mining LLCOne firm, Valiant Finance, stands out for providing an alternative to how investors engage with Bitcoin mining.
Valiant Finance is at the intersection of finance and technology to develop institutional-quality alternative investment solutions for the new economy. It integrates technological innovation with financial acumen, creating opportunities for accredited investors that simultaneously benefit the communities it operates in.
Central to Valiant Finance’s innovative approach is its digital mining fund, which provides crucial financing support to a captive Bitcoin mining operator. It facilitates the growth of this sector by directing investors’ funds to robust and scalable mining operations. This financial product is as a significant innovation, generating cash flows for investors through monthly payouts from the productivity of Bitcoin mining operations, a pioneering achievement in the industry.
“What excites me the most is how we’ve transformed access to Bitcoin mining. We’ve turned it into a cashflow business for seasoned investors and anyone looking to diversify into crypto with less of the typical risks associated with volatile market prices,” says Sean Campbell, managing director/head of distribution at Valiant Finance, sharing his enthusiasm.
There’s nobody else out here doing what we’re doing
The Genesis of Innovation
The story of this fund begins with Kevin Hertz, co-founder and head of mining operations at Deep Hash Mining, who began Bitcoin mining as a garage hobby. With a background in computer engineering from the University of Southern California and experience as a CTO, his deep-seated passion for technology led him to democratize financial systems through Bitcoin. By 2022, his once modest mining operation had grown into multi-state data centers dedicated exclusively to Bitcoin mining.
In 2023, Hertz’s path converged with Valiant founders Christopher Marston and Louis Amatucci and, together with Valiant’s management team of Campbell and Katherine Brand, all forward-thinking financial experts keen to innovate in the digital space. Brand, with her rich financial background in working with large and small firms, including crypto clients and educational expertise in the crypto industry, and Campbell, with extensive investment community insights, had been instrumental in laying the groundwork for Valiant Finance.
This collaboration of minds helped Valiant Finance forge a distinct identity in the digital mining sector, emphasizing innovation and deep market insight.
“There’s nobody else out here doing what we’re doing,” Kevin stated, emphasizing their approach’s exclusivity and pioneering aspect.
Valiant Finance has launched two, $50 million secured note offerings. It strategically designed its investment offerings to accommodate its client’s varied preferences. Campbell highlights the flexibility of their financial products, starting with their first investment note that provides a 15 percent annual yield, paid monthly over four years. This is particularly appealing to those seeking predictability in their returns.
“This product was designed to provide monthly returns, which is a cornerstone for many of our investors,” notes Campbell.
Recognizing the diverse appetite for risk among Bitcoin enthusiasts, Valiant introduced a second investment note.
“For those who believe in the potential for Bitcoin, we’ve developed a participation note that allows investors to share in the upside of Bitcoin mining,” explains Brand.
This note’s yield is adjusted based on Bitcoin’s hash price performance, offering a variable return that aligns with the nature of cryptocurrency investments.
Technological and Strategic Edge
The Bitcoin network underpins a global payment system that requires robust security and efficient transaction handling. To achieve this, mining operations focus on maximizing the hash rate—the collective computational power of miners—which fortifies the entire network.
"What excites me the most is how we’ve transformed access to Bitcoin mining. We’ve turned it into a cashflow business for seasoned investors and anyone looking to diversify into crypto without the typical risks associated with volatile market prices"
Valiant Finance’s operational strategy focuses on lean, cost-effective solutions and rapid scalability, central to its success.
“We’ve optimized our mining operations to be as lean and repeatable as possible,” states Hertz.
The pursuit of operational efficiency includes the selection of energy sources. By prioritizing locations with access to renewable energy at competitive prices, the company improves its operational efficiency and aligns with broader environmental goals. Notably, Texas has emerged as a strategic hub for its facilities, owing to its stable energy costs and favorable business environment.
Valiant’s mining facilities were designed with a focus on rapid deployment and cost control. It uses a containerized data center model, with mining pods prefabricated in China and shipped to the U.S. These units can be quickly set up and connected to electrical systems, significantly reducing the time to operation.
Efficient management practices are integral to Valiant’s operational ethos. Operational costs are lowered significantly by leveraging remote management techniques that minimize the need for extensive on-site personnel. Remote management streamlines operations and ensures a larger proportion of profits can be reinvested into the business, enhancing the value proposition for investors.
Advanced Cooling Technologies Elevating Mining Efficiency
Valiant Finance’s fund is further differentiated by its use of immersion cooling systems. Akin to a vehicle’s radiator system, the technology involves submerging servers in dielectric oil that are constantly cycled through a cooling tower system.
The innovative cooling solution maintains the servers at ideal temperatures and allows them to operate more efficiently than typical, air-cooled systems. By employing immersion cooling, Valiant significantly reduces the incidence of machine failures and extends the hardware’s lifespan. The absence of airflow over the delicate circuitry lowers the risk of overheating and related damages, reducing operational overhead and boosting profitability.
The cooling method’s adaptability allows Valiant to establish data centers in diverse geographic locations without concern for external temperature conditions, maximizing its operational deployment strategies.
Investor Relations and Market Impact
As Valiant Finance continues to carve its niche in the Bitcoin mining industry, its approach to engaging with accredited investors and registered investment advisors (RIA) is proven to be uniquely effective. An advisor who spoke with Campbell was particularly amazed by how easily he could explain the investment to a risk-averse client, emphasizing the simplicity of the returns based on the firm’s mining operations.
“When discussing our model with RIAs, the simplicity of our investment structure transformed what many anticipated to be a complex pitch into a straightforward, compelling narrative,” Campbell states.
The funds’ structure demystifies Bitcoin mining for investors and aligns with their desire for investment opportunities in this emerging industry. Its ability to present mining as a simple mathematical equation rather than a speculative gamble has been a massive success among seasoned and novice investors.
Community Impact and Sustainability Initiatives
Valiant is making a profound impact on local economies, extending its influence far beyond financial metrics. In Dimmitt, Texas, a small town known for its sprawling farmland, the company’s initiative to construct a new mining site is infusing much-needed economic vitality.
“By establishing operations in underdeveloped areas, we’re not just investing in technology but in the community,” explains Hertz.
