Turning Energy Into Money While Heating Your Home: Inside Exergy

In this episode of The Bitcoin Business Podcast, Brandon Karpeles sits down with Tyler Stevens, founder of Exergy, a company transforming Bitcoin miners into efficient heating systems for homes and businesses.

Tyler’s journey from Lockheed Martin aerospace engineer to Bitcoin entrepreneur is a testament to how innovation meets sovereignty. After realizing that Bitcoin miners convert nearly 100% of electricity into heat, Tyler began exploring how to reuse that thermal energy — and Exergy was born.

They discuss:

- How Exergy turns Bitcoin miners into smart home heating systems
- Why he walked away from a defense contractor job to build in Bitcoin
- The potential for mining-based radiant floors, boilers, and even water heaters
- How the “Heat Punk Summit” is bringing together the Bitcoin and HVAC worlds
- The vision of a “sovereign smart home” powered by honest money
- How Bitcoin heating can immediately reduce costs for homeowners and businesses

Tyler also shares the practical challenges — from hardware control to building code compliance — and how Exergy is solving them through open-source software and collaboration with tradespeople.

If you’re curious about Bitcoin’s real-world applications or how to turn wasted energy into income, this episode will change how you see mining forever.
