BlockFuel, the U.S. oil and gas company approximately 51% owned by IBG, is advancing permitting on the Steinman #1-23 well in Central Oklahoma, with drilling targeted for early December 2026. The company has also commenced operating its initial natural gas-powered computing and data mining installation near Stillwater, providing a platform to test gas-to-compute economics before any expansion. BlockFuel reiterated its pending merger with IBG, after which IBG will be renamed BlockFuel Energy Limited and trade on Nasdaq under "BFE"; the deal remains subject to Nasdaq listing approval and other closing conditions.
