CARLSBAD, CA -- July 26, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire -- OPTEC International, Inc. (OTC ticker: OPTI): Following Mining Disrupt in Miami, Bitcoin Mining Firm, Solteir and its Cofounders Jesse Fastenberg and Andrew Insignares have officially announced their renewable energy mining partnership with OPTEC International.

The pilot program will use OPTEC's Solar Paneled Generators to mine Bitcoin at Solteir's current mining facility in Bradford County, Pennsylvania and is expected to start by early Fall, 2021.

Following the inaugural program, the two companies expect to move solar mining operations to Carlsbad into one of OPTEC's secured distribution and  warehouse facilities where they plan to scale the operations exponentially.  OPTEC will be the sole provider of solar powered products to Solteir.

The arrangement was brokered by cryptocurrency pioneer, Aleksandr Likhtenstein who was introduced to OPTEC by WeShield.

As a full service, full lifecycle host of ASIC and GPU mining equipment, Solteir provides a low cost managed hosting solution for cryptocurrency miners. With proprietary monitoring software and access to cheap electricity, they are able to provide secure and cost effective ways for miners to achieve higher profits.

WeShield CEO, Michael Sinensky, commented, "From the moment WeShield execs laid eyes on OPTEC's suite of solar products, we knew there was a huge opportunity to utilize OPTEC solar generators to mine Bitcoin and put less environmental stress on the planet. This deal will allow us to dip our toes into a huge ocean of possibilities in this fast growing and essential renewable energy sector."

Solteir Cofounder, Jesse Fastenberg, commented, "We are very excited to be announcing our solar partnership with OPTEC International. At this year's annual Mining Disrupt Conference in Miami, there were so many conversations about mining with cleaner renewable energy and our responsibility to do so for the betterment of society.
