Bitford Digital is an American company founded in 2024 in Dallas, Texas, specializing in sustainable and ethical bitcoin mining. Its mission is to make mining more accessible, transparent, and inclusive, especially for those previously excluded from the traditional financial system.
The company’s founder, Jill Ford, rethought her approach to finance and cryptocurrency after serving a 20-month sentence for financial crimes. In prison, she saw how the traditional financial system can be unfair, especially for women and marginalized groups. This inspired her to create Bitford Digital with the goal of advancing economic justice through bitcoin and decentralized technology.
Bitford Digital is heavily invested in sustainable mining practices, including the use of renewable energy and energy-efficient equipment. The company also provides logistics and equipment consulting, helping other miners implement eco-friendly and ethical solutions.
Additionally, Bitford Digital runs social initiatives such as mining equipment repair shops for women recently released from prison and financial literacy programs for incarcerated individuals and underrepresented communities. These programs aim to provide the practical skills and knowledge needed to achieve financial independence.
In May 2025, Jill Ford spoke at the Bitcoin 2025 conference in Las Vegas, where she moderated a panel discussion with Justin Redrick, founder of the Bitcoin Transformation Community. Her participation highlighted Bitford Digital’s growing influence in the industry and its commitment to advancing inclusivity and sustainability in the cryptocurrency space.
