Brad Cuddy

Director, Field Operations Energy
Cholla, Inc

Brad Cuddy leads Bitcoin strategy at Cholla Inc., where he directs mining operations, treasury strategy, and education programs that position Bitcoin as both a flexible load for the grid and freedom money for the world.

After earning a B.S. in Petroleum & Natural Gas Engineering from Penn State, Brad cut his teeth as a Schlumberger field engineer on rigs from the North Sea to the Gulf of Mexico. In 2021, he pivoted from hydrocarbons to hash, joining Great American Mining to deploy off-grid Bitcoin mines in the Bakken. Today, he brings that same playbook to Cholla’s on-grid initiative, overseeing procurement, construction, commissioning, and round-the-clock operations at the company’s Innovation Lab – pioneering the future of energy-backed Bitcoin infrastructure.
