Sazmining Now Sells Jack Dorsey's Proto Immersion Hashboards
Sazmining begins selling Proto immersion hashboards
Block's Proto mining hashboards are now available on Sazmining's mining-as-a-service platform. Sazmining announced Thursday that it is now selling Proto's immersion hashboards directly to individual and institutional buyers through its mining-as-a-service platform.
Key numbers
- Each hashboard delivers roughly 200 TH at about 15 J/TH.
- Buyers own the hardware outright; Sazmining handles deployment, monitoring and maintenance at a U.S. facility.
- Mining rewards go straight to the owner's wallet.
- The agreement is a multi-megawatt supply deal between Sazmining and Proto, the bitcoin mining arm of Block (NYSE: XYZ).
- Sazmining is based in Wyoming, founded in 2018, and operates renewable facilities across the U.S., Paraguay and Norway.
How the service works
Buyers receive the hashboard and own it outright. Sazmining deploys, monitors and maintains the hardware at a U.S. facility. Mining rewards are paid directly to the owner's wallet.
Why this matters
The move lowers the barrier to entry for bitcoin mining, offering a way to acquire bitcoin through mining without needing large-scale operations. It also spreads costs over the machine's working life, providing diversification. The partnership expands renewable-powered mining capacity and follows Block's earlier push to make mining more distributed and efficient.
What is still unclear
The exact megawatt capacity of the supply deal is not specified beyond "multi-megawatt." The specific expansion timeline is also not detailed.
What happens next
Both companies expect the supply agreement to expand as demand grows, indicating further availability of Proto hashboards through Sazmining's platform.
