New to Bitcoin Mining? Here's How It Works

Click to expand and learn the basics

1. You Buy Mining Hardware

Purchase Bitcoin miners (ASIC machines) that run 24/7 solving mathematical problems to secure the Bitcoin network.

2. Miners Earn Bitcoin Weekly

Your machines earn Bitcoin rewards based on their computational power. At current rates, expect ~8% annual yield — but here's the magic: as hashprice and Bitcoin price rise, your returns increase while your expenses stay fixed, improving your breakeven and accelerating payback.

3. Dollar-Cost Average Automatically

Instead of buying Bitcoin at today's price, mining spreads your investment over time — you accumulate BTC weekly regardless of price.

Why mining? Mining lets you accumulate Bitcoin at a discount to market prices while benefiting from potential price appreciation. It's a passive, automated DCA strategy.

$37,017

At current hashprice ($41), BTC can drop to $37,017 before you hit breakeven. Below this, you'd need hashprice to rise to stay profitable.
