Structural Resilience Pattern
Three compounding mitigants neutralize the majority of global risk exposure: BTM hydro ($0 electricity, 92% EBITDA) absorbs financial shocks, remote NOC model eliminates labor geography constraints, and Singapore holding provides jurisdictional optionality for regulatory and sanctions scenarios. Critical single-source dependency remains NVIDIA GPU supply chain (40% delay likelihood).
