Bitkern LITE & Bitkern PRO
Whether beginner or professional, Bitkern has the right mining solution. Bitkern LITE for an easy, fully managed start with fixed rates and guarantees, or Bitkern PRO for higher flexibility, selectable locations and full control.
Hosting Only
Existing next-generation mining hardware is placed in Bitkern data centers and benefits from professional operations, optimized infrastructure and 24/7 monitoring. Ideal for experienced miners scaling existing fleets.
Pick Your Economics
Same data centers, same operations, same SLAs. The only difference is how costs and output are structured. Pay a fixed cost and retain all the mining output, or choose a profit sharing model with Bitkern.
Fixed Price
All-in rate per kWh, the full mining revenue is retained.
A classic fixed-cost agreement. A fixed rate per kWh covers power, cooling and operations, and every satoshi mined is kept.
- Advantage: 100% of mined BTC and all the upside retained
- Advantage: Clear, predictable cost per kWh
- Advantage: Easier to budget and forecast
- Disadvantage: Full power and BTC price risk carried by the client
- Disadvantage: Can become unsustainable when margins compress
- Disadvantage: Flat fee may not reflect real uptime or performance
Profit Sharing
Operating costs first, the remaining profit is split by an agreed percentage.
A performance-based agreement. Actual operating costs are deducted from the mining revenue first, the remaining profit is divided on a predetermined split.
- Advantage: Costs covered first, profit shared fairly afterwards
- Advantage: Bitkern shares the risk and earns on the profit
- Advantage: Mining keeps running even when margins are thin
- Advantage: Aligned incentives on uptime and efficiency
- Advantage: Downside protection
- Disadvantage: Part of the profit is shared with Bitkern
- Disadvantage: More complex to calculate than a flat fee
Advantages of Bitcoin Mining vs. Direct Bitcoin Purchase
Bitcoin mining enables continuous participation in the network and can offer tax benefits as well as independence from market prices. Direct Bitcoin purchase, on the other hand, is a one-time transaction whose success depends on the prevailing market conditions.
Mine Bitcoin, Cut Taxes
Mining hardware can often be depreciated, and operating costs may be deductible for businesses, turning a mining setup into a tax-efficient asset rather than a simple purchase.
Everything You Need to Know About Crypto Mining
What is Bitcoin Mining?
Bitcoin mining is the process of validating transactions and securing the Bitcoin network. Specialized computers (ASIC miners) solve complex mathematical problems to add new blocks to the blockchain. Miners are rewarded with newly created Bitcoins and transaction fees.
What is Bitkern LITE?
Bitkern LITE is a compact and comprehensive mining solution for an easy and fast entry into Bitcoin mining, no technical effort or prior knowledge required. Customers acquire ownership of the mining hardware and can start with just one miner, while Bitkern takes care of operations, maintenance, and hosting. A 36-month hardware warranty, ≥99% uptime guarantee, and deployment within 24 hours are included and no deposit is required.
What is Bitkern PRO?
Bitkern PRO is a professional mining solution for businesses, institutions, and family offices seeking large-scale hardware deployment. Customers acquire high-performance mining hardware, select from 20+ hosting locations worldwide, and benefit from tailor-made concepts for Bitcoin and altcoin mining. A dedicated contact person and 24/7 support are included, while a fast deployment option (online within 24 hours) and a hardware buyback option are available on request.
What distinguishes Bitkern LITE from Bitkern PRO?
- Bitkern LITE is mining with guarantees: fully managed operations, a 36-month fixed hosting rate and hardware warranty, ≥99% uptime guarantee and no deposit, starting from a single miner.
- Bitkern PRO is mining with flexibility: a choice of 20+ hosting locations worldwide, tailor-made concepts, own pool management and a personal contact person, starting from 10 miners.
Which solution is better for long-term mining?
Both are built for the long term, but with different priorities. Bitkern LITE offers planning certainty through fixed rates, guarantees and fully managed operations. Bitkern PRO offers flexibility and control, with free choice of location and setups tailored to the individual strategy.
Can I purchase mining hardware without hosting?
Yes. Mining hardware can be purchased through Bitkern without hosting services for orders of 10 devices or more. Bitkern sources the latest generation of ASIC miners through direct supplier partnerships, with shipping and customs handling available on request.
Can I host my existing miners with Bitkern?
Yes. Through the Hosting Only option, existing mining hardware can be placed in Bitkern data centers and benefits from professional operations, low-cost power and 24/7 monitoring. The option is available for fleets of at least 100 next-generation ASIC miners, subject to available capacity.
Is profit sharing also possible with Hardware & Hosting?
Yes. The profit sharing model is not limited to Hosting Only and can also be combined with Hardware & Hosting. In this structure, operating costs are covered from the mining output first, and the remaining profit is split on an agreed percentage. Whether profit sharing fits a specific setup depends on factors such as fleet size, hardware generation and the chosen location, and is best discussed directly with the Bitkern team.
