Simple Mining

Bitcoin mining gets pitched the wrong way. People focus on headline profitability. But if you’re evaluating mining in 2026, what really matters is: • Uptime • Repairs • Stable energy cost • Exit flexibility Simple Mining runs a white-glove hosting operation across 10 sites in Iowa. You own your miners, you choose your pool, Bitcoin goes straight to your wallet, no-KYC process. We manage 40,000+ machines and were recognized on the Inc. 5000 as the fastest-growing company in Iowa. We built a customer focused offering: • First 12 months of repairs included • Pause option with no penalties • Marketplace for liquidity • Downtime credits No lock-in contracts or black-box operations. If you want to think through whether mining actually makes sense right now, we put together a free resource: The 2026 Bitcoin Mining Blueprint It breaks down the 5 biggest mistakes investors make when allocating to mining, and how to avoid them before deploying capital.

We've never offered rates this low. $0.065/kWh all-in hosting on the S21 XP Hydro (473 TH). Introducing the Easter Pack. Pack 1: 3 miners at $8,500 each Pack 2: 6 miners at $8,000 each What's included: • Turnkey setup, go live same day • Free repairs for the first 12 months • Financing available Limited time. Limited availability.

Today: 150 MW under management. Scaling toward 500 MW. 65% renewable energy mix. 95%+ uptime. The same skill that fixed a broken phone now keeps thousands of miners running 24/7.

Why Iowa? Two-thirds of energy comes from wind. Highest in the country from a percentage standpoint. Cornfields and windmills. That's about it. Exactly what Bitcoin mining needs.

Our CEO dropped his phone at the pool in high school. His parents said "tough luck, buy a new one." He didn't have the money. So he fixed it himself. That broken phone turned into a Bitcoin mining company with 150 MW under management. Here's the story 🧵

POV: It's 2030 and someone says "remember when Bitcoin was only $70k?" You've heard this sentence before. Just with a different number. Every price felt too late until it became someone's greatest investment. Bitcoin can be yours too. The only variable is patience and the ability to feel nothing while everyone else panics.

Your life is made of two things: time and energy. Both are being stolen in plain sight. Money is how you store, save, and exchange both. When the currency is debased, you're not just losing purchasing power. You're losing pieces of your life you already worked for. "Fix the money, fix the world" sounds too simple to take seriously. But if money is stored time and energy, and that storage system is broken, everything built on top of it breaks too. That's the problem Bitcoin was designed to solve.

The most overlooked question in hosted mining: Does your host actually own their facility? If they don't, you're exposed to things that never show up in the rate quote: • Mid-contract rate hikes when the site owner raises wholesale power costs • Forced machine relocation if the host loses their lease or the facility changes hands • Prolonged downtime from facility-level issues the host can't escalate because they don't control the building • Payment disputes between the host and the actual site owner that freeze your operation • Counterparty blowup if the host's thin margins collapse during a downturn or energy crunch When energy prices rise, like oil right now pushing toward triple digits, and Bitcoin pulls back, these risks surface fast. Resellers absorb nothing. They pass it through. Your rate changes. Your uptime suffers. Your rigs might move. Hosts that own their sites with long-term fixed power agreements? Same rate. Same facility. Same operation. No middleman. No renegotiation. Own the site. Own the outcome

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_…

The IRS is giving you a 100% write-off for every dollar you spend on electricity to mine Bitcoin. Under IRC Section 162, that electricity costs is an ordinary and necessary business expense. If your mining operation qualifies as an active business, you can deduct the full cost of your power bill in the year you pay it. But unlike your mining hardware, which is a capital expense you write off upfront through bonus depreciation, your electricity bill comes off your taxable income every single month you're running machines. If you have mining income, capital gains, or a large tax bill this deduction works against it continuously and not just at purchase. You're not just offsetting the cost of entry. You're offsetting the cost of operation, every billing cycle, for as long as your miners are hashing. If reducing your ongoing tax burden while producing Bitcoin is something you're considering, this is the part of the equation most people miss. (This is general information only, consult a qualified tax professional for your specific situation)

@sweatystartup @grok is this true?

AI about to get 20x expensive. These $200 / month claude subscriptions are burning $5,000 worth of credits. The bubble is going to pop and it will pop soon.

A lot of investors are still treating Bitcoin as a one-dimensional trade. Buy. Hold. Hope. But there's a second path that most overlook. When you purchase mining hardware through a business entity, that equipment may qualify for accelerated depreciation under current tax law. That means part of your upfront cost can potentially reduce your taxable income in year one. You still get the Bitcoin. You still get the exposure. But the effective cost of entry may look very different on a post-tax basis.

Our partner Anthony Pompliano was asked the hardest investment question of 2026. His answer:

Every major AI company has the same problem: they can buy GPUs tomorrow, but they can't plug them in for 3 to 5 years. We've spent years doing what most AI startups can't do quickly: securing land, locking in energy contracts, clearing permits, and establishing grid connections. Today, Simple Mining is putting that work to use. We are now offering 234 MW of shovel-ready AI capacity across 4 sites ranging from 40 MW to 100 MW. Fully permitted, grid-connected, and fiber-ready. Available as leases, JVs, or outright sales. We're not pivoting from Bitcoin mining. Simple Mining is and will remain a hosted mining company. We're providing the energy foundation that AI companies and hyperscalers are struggling to build on their own timeline. If you need megawatts, not a waitlist, let's talk.
