San Francisco, California Jul 7, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - As devastating floods sweep through parts of Texas, communities are scrambling for shelter, food, and safety. Amid the chaos, one healthcare consultant is stepping in with direct support for the people (and animals) affected by the crisis. This July, Jonathan Szkotak, PharmD and his wife donated a total of $130 to three boots-on-the-ground nonprofits actively responding to the Texas flooding disaster: $25 to Mercy Chefs, which has mobilized in flood-hit areas to serve hot, chef-prepared meals to displaced families and first responders. $25 will provide meals to a family of 5. Mercy Chefs has a 4-star rating (out of 4) on CharityNavigator(.)com website $25 to Operation BBQ Relief, a veteran disaster response team delivering warm meals and comfort to overwhelmed shelters and emergency crews. Each $25 provides a meal to 4 people. Mercy Chefs has also has a 4-star (out of 4) rating on CharityNavigator(.)com website $80 to Kerrville Pets Alive, a Texas-based no-kill rescue organization working to reunite pets with owners and provide shelter for animals separated by floodwaters. The donation was made directly through Chewy, who will be sending 2 bags of dog food and one of cat food directly to the shelter. Ive lived through natural disasters. You never forget that moment when everything turns upside down when youre cold, hungry, and wondering what comes next, said Szkotak. These organizations dont hesitate. They show up, they cook, they rescue. That kind of compassion deserves backup. With years of experience in Medicaid reform, clinical analytics, and healthcare strategy, Szkotak is used to designing complex systems to improve care. But in moments like this, he believes the best response is immediate and human. People are wading through knee-deep water with their kids in one arm and their dog in the other, he added. These groups meet them on the other side with food, safety, and dignity. The Texas floods have left thousands displaced and many more cut off from basic needs. While national headlines fade, grassroots responders like Mercy Chefs, Operation BBQ Relief, and Kerrville Pets Alive continue working day and night to care for survivors both human and four-legged. All three groups are 501(c)(3) nonprofits. Donations directly fund mobile kitchens, emergency supplies, veterinary care, and local shelter operations. About Jonathan Szkotak Jonathan Szkotak, PharmD is a healthcare strategy consultant and medical writer specializing in Medicaid policy, patient access, and population health programs. He has led initiatives in opioid misuse prevention, rare disease access, and clinical analytics but he believes some of the most important decisions happen outside boardrooms and budget cycles. If we all gave just a little when the waters rise the world would be better off.

Hong Kong, Hong Kong S.A.R. Jul 7, 2025 (Issuewire.com) - Astra Bitcoin, a global infrastructure firm, today announced a multi-year investment plan to develop one of the Caucasus region's largest sustainable data centers in the Republic of Georgia. The project will harness Georgia's abundant renewable energy resources to power a next-generation digital asset processing facility, support the country's energy infrastructure goals, and create a platform for long-term economic growth. The initiative includes a five-year plan to deploy up to 20,000 industrial-grade processing units, representing a significant commitment to Georgia's burgeoning technology and energy sectors. This investment directly aligns with Georgia's national strategy to expand its renewable energy generation and attract foreign capital. The Georgian government aims to commission 1,500 MW of new green energy capacity, backed by $34 billion in investment, to meet rising domestic electricity demand and enhance its energy independence. Astra's facility will serve as a key industrial off-taker for this new power generation, providing a stable demand base that supports the development of new hydro, wind, and solar projects across the country. Astra's project is designed as a sustainable solution to one of the digital asset industry's most significant challenges: high energy consumption. Global data center and crypto-asset operations consume an estimated 600-850 TWh annually, an amount comparable to the entire electricity demand of Brazil or Canada. By building its infrastructure in a region rich with untapped renewable resourcesincluding an estimated 15,000 MW of hydropower potential Astra is pioneering a model for environmentally responsible digital infrastructure. The facility will be powered by a dedicated portfolio of renewable sources, primarily hydro, wind, and solar, contributing to a more sustainable and resilient global blockchain ecosystem. Looking beyond its initial data center deployment, Astra Bitcoin is developing a long-term vision for deep economic integration. The company plans to make parallel investments in Georgia's real estate sector, a key area for foreign direct investment, which attracted over $155 million in 2024. Furthermore, Astra is establishing a corporate governance framework designed to meet the rigorous standards of international capital markets. A key strategic goal is to prepare its parent holding entity for a potential future listing on a major regulated stock exchange, such as NASDAQ, the Dubai Financial Market (DFM), or the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX). "Our investment in Georgia is about more than building a data center; its about building a sustainable future for digital finance," said Dr. John Konrad, Strategic Advisor for Astra. "We chose Georgia because of its forward-thinking energy policy and incredible renewable resources. We are committed to being a long-term economic partner, creating local jobs, and developing an infrastructure that delivers value both to our stakeholders and to the region. Our ultimate goal is to build a globally respected technology company that operates with the transparency and accountability of a public institution." About Astra Bitcoin Astra Bitcoin is a global infrastructure company focused on developing sustainable digital asset ecosystems. By integrating renewable energy development with high-performance data center operations, Astra builds the foundational platforms for the future of digital finance.
