SwissGlobe is an American owned company specialized in the mining sector. In the late 1990s established in Oregon by Swiss investors, we have first concentrated in the financing of small gold and copper mining projects. In the early 2000s we have acquired shares of the global players like BHP Billiton, Rio Tinto and Southern Copper Corporation. In 2011 we have experimented by mining Bitcoin with field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs), months later with the first GPU-based mining rig. In the end of 2013 we have continued with the Bitmain Antminer S1, the very first ASIC Bitcoin miner on the market. To minimize noise and energy costs, the devices were immersed in food grade oil. Today we are operating like a non-profit organization.
