Our Story · Bitcoin Timber

A family legacy.
Rebuilt in Bitcoin.

This is not a startup founded in a co-working space. It started on a river, on land that has been in one family for generations — now being rebuilt into something the old world and the new world can both recognise as real.

Shane Anthony
Founder & Operator

Born into a Guyanese family with generational roots on the Canje River. The sawmill is not a new idea — it is a restoration. His grandfather Kawal Ramessar worked this land. The timber was always there. The waste was always there. Bitcoin made the economics undeniable.

A decade building operational discipline from the floor up in automotive management — Service Advisor to General Manager — before recognising that the same proof-of-work ethic applied to stranded energy in Guyana was a once-in-a-generation opportunity. Self-sovereign node runner. Solo miner.

"I'm not building a company for an exit. I'm building a legacy for my family — denominated in Bitcoin, rooted in Guyanese soil."

What We're Building

The flywheel
no one else built.

Four revenue streams from one operation. Every output feeds the next input. Nothing wasted. Everything monetised.

01
Timber
Generational hardwood on family land. Revenue from day one of full deployment. Real product, real market.
02
Biomass Power
Waste sawdust and offcuts feed a gasifier. Zero fuel cost. Energy that would otherwise burn off becomes the foundation of mining.
03
Bitcoin Mining
ASIC mining fleet scaling to full biomass capacity. HODL policy — every sat mined stays in treasury. Compounding from first block.
04
Carbon Credits
Verra pre-verification in progress. Renewable mining and sustainable forestry generates a third revenue stream at no additional cost.
Seed Round · Closing June 2026
Own part of
the operation.
$250,000 · 10% equity · $2.5M pre-money · Minimum $5,000.
First revenue 90 days from close.
