Open protocol for Bitcoin payments Non-custodial • On-chain • Mining-powered settlement
The fee model is the message. A retail card payment in 2026 costs the merchant somewhere between 1.5% and 3.5%. Interchange, scheme fees, processor margin, gateway, PCI — it stacks up. On a $100 sale, the merchant keeps between $96.50 and $98.50, and the customer often eats the cost twice through surcharges and higher menu prices. BitPay charges 1% on top of all that, and converts your customer’s BTC into fiat whether you asked for it or not. GoBTC Pay is 0% for the user and 0.2% for the merchant. On a $100 sale, the merchant keeps $99.80. But the more interesting number is where that 0.2% goes. It doesn’t sit on a balance sheet in San Francisco. It is split in half and sent back into the network that produced the transaction: → 0.1% to the miners in GoMining’s pool, pro-rata to hashrate. → 0.1% to the wallet that initiated the payment. We keep nothing on third-party flow. Every basis point routes back to the people running the rails. Card networks extract value from every swipe. GoBTC Pay routes value back to the network. That isn’t a tagline. That’s the protocol. #GoBTCPay #UnlockBitcoin
GoBTC Pay is rails, not a walled garden. Closed payment networks are how you end up paying 3% to swipe a card. Bitcoin was designed to escape that, not rebuild it under new branding. So GoBTC Pay ships as an open protocol. One open SDK. One integration spec. → Any wallet — hardware, software, self-hosted — can plug in. Ledger. Trust Wallet. Sparrow. Whatever you run. → Any merchant — physical or online — can accept GoBTC Pay. One-click plugins for Shopify, WooCommerce, and standard POS. → Any institution — bank, fintech, crypto platform — can route its customers’ BTC payments through the network. And the economics are open too. Every wallet that integrates earns 0.1% on every payment its users make. We keep nothing from third-party flow. This is how Bitcoin’s payment future gets built — by everyone, on shared rails, with revenue flowing back to the integrators doing the work. Build a wallet? Integrate the protocol. Run a merchant? Accept BTC at 0.2%. Bitcoin as money, built in the open. #GoBTCPay #UnlockBitcoin
Bitcoin pays miners for proof of work. GoBTC Pay adds a second cheque. Bitcoin pays miners for proof of work. That’s the deal — and it has worked since 2009. GoBTC Pay adds a second cheque. Every GoBTC Pay transaction carries a 0.2% merchant fee. Half of that — 0.1% of every transaction value — flows to the miners in GoMining’s ecosystem, pro-rata to hashrate. On top of the block reward. On top of the standard fee. Paid in BTC. So when GoBTC Pay merchant volume comes online, every GoMining customer with a digital miner starts earning a share of payments revenue. Not “yield.” Not “rewards points.” A fee for doing what hashrate is supposed to do: confirm transactions. This is the part that no other payment company can offer. Because no other payment company is also a top-ten miner. Stack sats. Mine sats. Now: get paid in sats when other people spend sats. #GoBTCPay #UnlockBitcoin

Sharing a few moments from our GoMining GoClub event in Miami — a night we’ll remember for a long time. We brought together an incredible group of builders, partners, and ecosystem leaders for an evening that felt full of purpose. From the first conversations on board, the energy was right: open, thoughtful, and genuinely fun. It was one of those nights where people could step away from the usual pace, take in the Miami views, and connect in a more natural way. Events like this matter because they create space for real conversations. Ideas move faster when people are in the same room, and that was exactly the feeling throughout the night. We’re grateful to everyone who joined us, shared their time, and made the event what it was. A few highlights from the evening below. 📷 #UnlockBitcoin #ConsensusGM #GoBTCpay
