OBM Buyer Map
John Triscoli | OBM | October 2026
As of 14 Oct 2026
OBM makes flexible load management and energy analytics software for energy-intensive operations.
Its own site names its buyer groups as Bitcoin miners, HPC data centers running AI and other heavy workloads, and power suppliers serving high-power customers. Its miners page also describes its energy analytics platform as built for large energy consumers.
This map sorts those groups by type and size where a clean public count exists, and shows who usually makes the call in each.
Where the buyers sit
Counts are US firms, not sites, and are banded on purpose. A group with no clean public count says so rather than showing a number.
| Group | Organizations in the US | Under 20 staff | 20 to 99 | 100 to 499 | 500 or more |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Electric power generation, transmission and distribution companies, where power suppliers sit | about 2,400 | about 1,300 | about 690 | about 270 | about 140 |
| Data processing and hosting firms, where HPC and AI data centers sit | about 11,000 | about 8,900 | about 1,300 | about 650 | about 570 |
| Bitcoin mining operators | no clean public count | ||||
| Other large energy consumers facing demand charges, a possible next group | no clean public count |
US firm counts by industry code, banded deliberately.
Who usually makes the call, by group
Titles vary with size. At a small operator one founder holds most of these seats.
| Group | Who usually decides | Who also weighs in |
|---|---|---|
| Electric power companies | VP of commercial or retail energy, head of large accounts | Credit and risk leads, demand response or grid programs manager |
| HPC data centers | VP of data center operations or head of energy | CFO, head of infrastructure, site operations leads |
| Bitcoin mining operators | CEO or COO of the mining company | Head of energy or power strategy, site managers, CFO |
| Other large energy consumers | Head of energy or utilities, or the CFO | Plant or facilities managers, procurement |
What each group is weighing
| Group | What moves the decision |
|---|---|
| Electric power companies | Serving larger loads without taking on more credit exposure, and keeping the grid stable at peak |
| HPC data centers | Meeting uptime commitments during grid events, and earning from demand response without pausing workloads |
| Bitcoin mining operators | Uptime, power cost per unit of hash rate, and the collateral tied up in power contracts |
| Other large energy consumers | Seeing costs while they accrue, before the invoice and before a demand charge is set |
