Run the numbers as to whether a move to the cloud or hybrid would make sense.
The problem is that the marginal price of compute is minimal and the overheads of distributing work across various untrusted machines (plus moving any data to them) outweigh the potential savings, so that's why there's no standardized market for this. If you had enough servers and development capacity in your business I guess you could start a hosting/cloud provider side business to sell that extra capacity?
There might be a market if those servers have GPUs, but even then I'm not sure if the earnings would be worth it and would trump what you could earn yourself by just mining crypto on them.
Short of those options, just power them off on a schedule and use IPMI/etc to start them back up when needed.
