Founded in 2017 by a team with expertise in mining operations, network security, software engineering, and data science, OBM initially focused on improving operational management for Bitcoin mining. Using its flagship platform Foreman, the company enabled miners to remotely monitor, automate, and optimize mining fleets across regions. Over time, this expertise evolved into a broader suite of flexible load management technologies capable of controlling compute power in real time to respond to grid signals, curtail energy use without disruption, and participate in demand response programs.
OBM’s technology allows customers to adjust energy consumption in real time, improving how operations interact with electricity markets and grid conditions. This includes behind-the-meter load management features that coordinate on-site generation, storage assets, and variable compute loads to maximize economic returns and reduce unnecessary shutdowns. The software can throttle compute workloads dynamically, helping operators respond to shifting energy prices, renewable generation variability, and grid demand without manual intervention.
Today, OBM positions itself as a leader in intelligent energy optimization, serving sectors beyond cryptocurrency mining. Its solutions help power suppliers, data centers, and other compute-intensive industries transform complex energy challenges into competitive advantages while supporting broader efforts to enhance grid resilience.
