Simple Mining

What started in the back of a cell phone repair store with a few GPUs turned into one of the largest hosted mining operations in the country. A lot changed. The standard did not. This is Simple Mining.

A few years ago US Bitcoin miners were fighting a federal tax aimed at making them less competitive. The current administration calls Bitcoin a strategically important asset and treats domestic hashrate as something to keep onshore. The American miner moved from regulatory liability to industrial policy inside a single political cycle If you run hashrate inside US borders, the policy moat just widened. The states with the highest variable renewable energy are the most leveraged businesses on this whole repricing. (Iowa is #1 wind/solar at 65%)

$100K into a spot Bitcoin ETF: 1.25 BTC, 0.25% annual fee, taxed as a security. $100K into hosted mining at $0.07/kWh: a fleet of efficient ASICs, newly issued $BTC below market, full Section 179 write-off in year one. Same Bitcoin exposure. One gives you a position. The other gives you a business.

One S23 Hydro at $0.07/kWh. 580 TH/s. 5.5 kW. Whisper-quiet hydro. Monthly power: $277. Monthly revenue at $37 hashprice: $653. Monthly profit: ~$376. One machine. Quietly stacking sats while you sleep. Now picture 10. Now picture 100. The math doesn't change. Only the zeroes do.

Amazon's actual product isn't speed. It's removing your last chance to think before you buy. Engineered consumerism at its finest.

Software margins are in freefall. AI is doing to software what software did to everyone else. That's Visser's setup. Bezos's old line was your margin is my opportunity. Now AI is the one collecting. The trade he's making: Bitcoin is one of the few growth assets that doesn't lose margin under deflation, and still gains under inflation. Two-sided exposure in a market where most assets only work in one regime.

it will come as a shock to many to find out all compute is downstream of atoms you can't get a permit without the city stamping your plans you can't get the interconnection without the substation stuck in China you can't get the fiber optics without the critical minerals from China you can't pour the concrete without the oil you can't make train the models until you get the GPU's you can't have GPU's without TSMC cooperation no coordination of real world atoms, no intelligence tokens

Thinking about investing in Bitcoin mining in 2026? We put together a short resource called The 2026 Bitcoin Mining Blueprint. It walks through the 5 mistakes investors make when allocating to mining, and how to fix them before deploying capital: simplemining.io/blueprint?utm_…

Bitcoin network hashrate: 923.08 EH/s. Roughly 2.6M S21 Pros running 24/7. Drawing ~13 GW continuously. Enough power for 10M US homes. All securing one network. Every hash is a lottery ticket on freedom money.

What if I told you you could earn money while saving money? Sounds hard to believe, right? The IRS doesn't care if you buy spot Bitcoin. It might care quite a bit if you buy mining hardware. Qualifying ASICs are eligible for 100% bonus depreciation in the year they're placed in service. Bitcoin exposure and a potential write-off in the same transaction.

AI can replicate work. It can't replicate scarcity. The AI era compresses the value of skill itself. Output that took 20 years to learn is on track to cost ten dollars. When effort gets cheaper, owning scarce assets gets more important. Bitcoin is the cleanest version of that in digital form.

You could literally: - Buy $500,000 of Bitcoin miners - Deduct the full amount this year under Section 179 - Own machines producing Bitcoin every day at $0.07/kWh Why aren't more people doing this?!

The IRS raised the Section 179 limit to $2.5M for 2026. And they don't care if the equipment you're deducting is a Bitcoin miner. Section 179 + Bonus Depreciation let you write off the full purchase price of qualifying hardware in the year it's placed in service. Here's the play: • Buy ASIC miners before December 31, 2026 • Deduct up to $2.5M against this year's income • Own hardware that produces Bitcoin every day at $0.07/kWh The government designed this to encourage business investment in productive equipment. ASIC miners qualify. You're not gaming the system. You're using it exactly as intended. Most people pay their tax bill and then accumulate Bitcoin. But you don't have to. Your tax bill could be buying S21 Hydro miners instead.

The US government's posture on Bitcoin has shifted faster and further than most market participants have priced in. In less than 18 months: a permanent Strategic Bitcoin Reserve holding 200,000+ BTC, a live Pentagon node inside Indo-Pacific Command, and the Defense Secretary testifying to Congress about classified Bitcoin programs. None of that gets built around something a government considers speculative. Sovereign-level integration isn't a future scenario worth modeling. It's the current operating reality.

Glen is the winner of the S21+ Congrats Glen! We’re doubling down on giveaways this year to get more people into mining so stay tuned for the next one
