Education and career

Abiodun attended Queen Mary University of London where he received his degree in electronic engineering in 2005. Upon graduation, he worked as a software engineer in the oil and gas industries before transitioning to investment banking. Abiodun then held positions at JPMorgan Chase and HSBC investment banks. In January 2011, he installed a free application on his home computer to start Bitcoin mining in the evenings after work. After realizing he needed to mine constantly to make any money, he started investing in specialized computers to carry out constant Bitcoin mining and set up his computers in a data center in Kansas City, Kansas. In February 2013, he founded CloudHashing, a Bitcoin mining company which rents computing power to those who want to mine without purchasing a powerful enough machine. In October 2013, he added a datacenter in Iceland.

In March 2014, Abiodun presented his company at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas, Cryptocurrencies: Opportunities, Challenges and Profitability in the Migration from Main Street to Wall Street in New York City and at Coin Summit in San Francisco, California. He is a board member at Digital BTC.
