Frequently Asked Questions
Is Bitcoin mining still profitable?
Profitability depends on several factors including equipment efficiency, power costs, Bitcoin price, and network difficulty. Use our ROI calculator to model your specific situation.
How do I report Bitcoin mining income for taxes?
Mining rewards are taxable as ordinary income at their fair market value when received. Equipment purchases can be depreciated. We recommend working with a CPA familiar with cryptocurrency.
What's the difference between pool mining and solo mining?
Pool mining combines hashrate with other miners for more consistent payouts. Solo mining means you receive the full block reward if you find a block, but this is unlikely for small operations.
How much does it cost to start mining?
Entry-level miners start around $2,000-$5,000 per unit. You'll also need to factor in power costs, hosting fees (if applicable), and infrastructure. Start small and scale as you learn.
