Bitcoin cloud mining priced against the live hashprice

Bitcoin is the deepest and most honest hashprice market on earth - which makes it the best market to price cloud mining offers against, and the one where the gap between honest and fraudulent contracts is most visible in the numbers. Forty live providers sell BTC exposure here; this page prices them against the one number that decides everything: what a TH earns per day.

The one number that prices every offer

BTC hashprice is n/a per TH/day [1] - roughly four cents of gross revenue per TH before any operator cut. At that number, the break-even power price for modern 15 J/TH machines sits near n/a per kWh [2][3]. Every offer on this page prices against both numbers:

• A $0.05/TH/day fee starts underwater - the fee alone exceeds gross revenue. This is not an edge case; it is the most common contract shape in the market.
• Zero-fee structures price the operator's margin into the up-front cost, where you can at least see it [4].
• Hosting at $0.05-0.085/kWh sits at or below break-even - the hosting hub carries the documented rate sheets.

The chart is the contract's fate in one line: difficulty climbs, halvings cut revenue, and only coin price pushes back [1]. Contracts are priced on a difficulty forecast you cannot see - which is why the contract vs HODL tool exists to price the same cash flows without the operator's assumptions.

Contract design against the decay

The chart above is the whole pricing problem in one line. Three structures respond to it differently [1]:

• Short contracts reprice quickly - the operator reprices at each difficulty turn, which is honest but leaves you with no rate protection.
• Long contracts lock a rate against a hidden difficulty forecast. At current hashprice the locked price is usually a forecast error you prepaid.
• Zero-fee with high up-front - the honest shape: total cost visible on day one, revenue floats with the network. The contract vs HODL tool prices exactly this shape against simply buying BTC.

Halvings are the stress test: each one cuts revenue per TH overnight while costs stay flat [1]. Every serious projection models the block subsidy; every scam projection omits it - the same asymmetry the scams checklist documents across the market.

Payout mechanics on BTC specifically

• FPPS - full pay-per-share including the transaction-fee share, which is real money on BTC. The platform carries pool luck [4].
• PPS - excludes the fee share; slightly less on BTC, where fees are a meaningful slice of block rewards.
• PPLNS - you carry pool luck. On BTC's deep pool ecosystem that variance is real money at contract scale.

The payout frequency and threshold matter more on BTC than elsewhere - 0.00002 BTC/day accumulation against a 0.005 BTC threshold is a 250-day wait, which can outlive the contract.

Merged and secondary exposure

BTC sits inside a larger mining portfolio: the same providers often sell LTC and DOGE exposure - merged-mining pairs with their own difficulty paths. Our feed tracks all three: BTC at n/a, LTC at n/a, DOGE at n/a [1]. The BTC hub's rule applies to all of them: price the coin's own hashprice, never port BTC arithmetic to another chain. For the merged-mining mechanics the litecoin hub and dogecoin hub carry the detail.

The proof standard on BTC

BTC mining has the market's best verification infrastructure - use it:

1. A pool worker under your name - the proof ladder tops out here, and every serious BTC pool supports it [5].
2. On-chain payouts at the documented cadence - BTC's chain is public; a txid is evidence.
3. Difficulty-adjusted projections you control - the mining calculator with your assumption, never the operator's [6].

The operational checklist before scale

The same sequence every time, because it works [1][5]:

1. Price the contract in the calculator at a difficulty growth you believe, at both calm and stressed hashprice.
2. Buy the minimum. The cheapest position the operator sells - the beginners hub explains why the upsell exists.
3. Verify the worker at the pool within 24 hours. Screenshots of dashboards do not count [5].
4. Verify the first payout on-chain, then decide about scaling.

34 providers make the live table; 35% operate without mandatory ID, and 53% of the rows carry facts we verified against sources with dates. The market's honesty lives in its numbers - which is exactly why the hashprice feed sits at the top of this page's evidence stack.
