Where the Thesis Lives

01

Sovereign AI Infrastructure

Compute has become a geopolitical asset. We model hashprice economics, rare earth supply chains, and the physical stack that national AI ambitions depend on to persist.

02

Energy Systems

Nuclear baseload, grid-scale storage, and stranded power are the upstream inputs to every sovereign infrastructure thesis. We track capacity buildout, policy shifts, and capital flows in the energy transition.

03

Digital Monetary Networks

Bitcoin is infrastructure. We research the monetary architecture of the post-software cycle: proof-of-work security, hashprice modeling, and the convergence of energy markets with programmable money.
