Mine vs Buy

Mine

Buy

Exposure

BTC + operational alpha

BTC price only

Spot cost basis

Medium (BTC held + resale)

High

Why mining can outperform

Cost basis control

Power‑linked BTC production

Low $/kWh can undercut spot over multi‑year holds.

Operational alpha

Uptime and efficiency levers

Better uptime and fleet tuning translate directly into BTC yield.

Reinvestment optionality

BTC earned, not just bought

Earned BTC can be held, sold, or redeployed into more hashpower.

How mining generates returns

Capex

Hashpower

BTC production

Costs/fees

BTC held/sold

What drives outcomes

BTC price
Cycle and drift dominate returns.

Difficulty/hashrate
Network growth reduces share.

Power price
$ / kWh is the largest cost input.

Uptime
Availability directly impacts BTC output.

Fees
Pool, hosting, and management stack.

Why mining wins in strong setups

Power advantage

Fixed, low‑cost energy

Secured power contracts create durable BTC production costs.

Infrastructure moat

Scale beats retail buying

Hosting and fleet scale improve uptime and unit economics.

Asset resilience

Residual hardware value

Hardware can be re‑sold or repurposed to reduce downside.

Risks & disclosures

Returns depend on BTC price, network difficulty, and operational execution. This calculator is scenario-based and pre-tax, with simplified assumptions.

Past performance and model outputs do not guarantee future results. Hardware performance, downtime, and counterparty risk can materially affect outcomes.
