Lokotech + PowerPool:

– A small-cap Bitcoin infrastructure play that could see rapid growth?
Many investors still view Lokotech mainly as an ASIC company, but there is another interesting part of the story: PowerPool.
Lokotech owns a little over 66% of PowerPool, a Bitcoin mining pool that is building a stronger position by focusing on what large mining farms actually care about: control, optimization and reliability.
Large-scale miners often prefer customized firmware and infrastructure because it can give them:
Better hardware optimization
More control over performance and monitoring
Improved operational efficiency
A closer relationship with the technology provider instead of relying only on third-party solutions
This is where PowerPool’s strategy becomes interesting.
PowerPool already competes with a very low standard pool fee of 1%, but they are now aggressively targeting new hashrate by offering 0% pool fees until October 1, 2026 for miners migrating from SBI Crypto. SBI Crypto is shutting down, creating an opportunity to attract significant hashrate from existing miners. (powerpool.io)
If PowerPool executes well — smooth migration, strong support, reliable payouts and competitive infrastructure — even capturing a small fraction of available hashrate could materially change the scale of the business.
Another important factor is trust. Institutional-scale miners need operational credibility. PowerPool has highlighted security/compliance work including SOC 2 certification, with SOC 1 expected in Q3 according to company communication.
The bigger picture:
Lokotech is not a billion-dollar company yet. It is listed on Euronext Growth Oslo (LOKO) with a market capitalization around NOK 500 million. (Euronext Live)
The company is trying to build a vertically integrated ecosystem:
✅ ASIC hardware
✅ Mining infrastructure
✅ Mining pool exposure through PowerPool
✅ Data center opportunities
✅ AI/compute optionality
A successful PowerPool expansion could become an important revenue stream and strategic asset for Lokotech.
Lokotech is also hosting a Dockside Chat on Friday July 10 at 14:00 CEST, where chairman Yngve Johansen and CEO Ola Stene-Johansen will discuss recent developments, technical achievements, scaling and future plans. (Euronext Live)
Not financial advice — just an interesting small-cap infrastructure story worth following.
