Palm Data was born from a deep-rooted passion for Bitcoin mining and a relentless drive to solve real-world challenges in the hardware sourcing space. Our founder, Clay Johnson, began mining Bitcoin in 2016 when he purchased his first miner—a pivotal moment that would shape the trajectory of his career. From that initial spark, he went on to develop a dedicated mining farm in Kansas, powered by Bitmain Antminer S9s.
As Clay scaled his mining operations, a turning point came when a fellow enthusiast he met online asked for help sourcing mining hardware. Clay brokered the deal, and in doing so, uncovered an untapped opportunity in the hardware brokerage world. He realized that the mining community was underserved when it came to trustworthy, transparent, and reliable sourcing of mining equipment. 

With that insight, Palm Data evolved—from a personal mining endeavor into a full-fledged global brokerage. Clay shifted his focus toward building a robust network of suppliers and clients, one successful deal at a time. Over the years, he developed a deep Rolodex of trusted partners and cultivated a reputation for integrity, speed, and dependability. 

Today, Palm Data helps mining farms and institutional clients across the globe acquire hardware at competitive prices, with a firm commitment to quality, honest communication, and on-time delivery. We don’t just broker hardware—we build relationships, solve logistical hurdles, and contribute to the long-term success of the Bitcoin mining ecosystem. 

From our humble beginnings in Kansas to our growing global footprint, Palm Data remains committed to the same principles that sparked our journey: transparency, hustle, and genuine care for our clients.
