It converts the gas or “stranded energy” into electricity used to power the high-performance compute required for Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. Some reports suggest that Crusoe’s Bitcoin mining operation accounts for 1% of the world’s Bitcoin mining.

它将气体或“滞留能量”转换为电力，用于为比特币挖掘和AI数据中心所需的高性能计算提供电力。一些报告表明，克鲁索的比特币采矿业务占世界比特币采矿的1％。
