Sazmining Offers Proto Immersion Hashboards to Individual Owners Starting at $1,397
Proto mining hardware now available to individual owners
Sazmining has begun offering Proto immersion hashboards to individual and institutional buyers through its mining-as-a-service platform. The move makes immersion mining systems, previously limited to large operators, accessible to regular buyers starting at $1,397 down with 0% financing over 18 months.
Customers buy the hashboards outright and own them directly. Sazmining hosts and manages the hardware at a facility in the United States, handling deployment, monitoring, and maintenance. Bitcoin mined by the rigs goes straight to the owner's own wallet, and owners pay one all-in rate covering power and maintenance.
Key numbers and terms
- Hashboard performance: roughly 200 TH at about 15 J/TH
- Down payment: $1,397
- Financing: 0% over 18 months
- Warranty: one year from Proto
- Payment options: card or crypto (bitcoin, USDT, USDC) for a discount
- Energizing timeline: November to December 2026
What Sazmining says
The offering follows an existing multi-megawatt supply relationship between Sazmining and Proto, both of which say they plan to expand it as demand grows.
Kent Halliburton, CEO and co-founder of Sazmining, said the company only earns revenue when it produces bitcoin for clients, which is why Sazmining seeks out the best available mining systems. He described Proto's hardware as built to last, meaning more uptime for owners.
Halliburton also framed mining as a different way to acquire bitcoin compared to buying on an exchange. He noted that a miner pays for rigs and power over the machine's working life rather than paying the market price on a single purchase day, calling it a form of diversification rather than a guaranteed outcome.
Availability
Proto immersion hashboards are available to order at sazmining.com starting October 16, 2026. Customers can order directly or book a consultation with a Bitcoin Strategy Advisor on the same site.
What is confirmed
Sazmining is accepting orders for Proto immersion hashboards through its platform. The starting price, financing terms, warranty length, and energizing window are all stated in the press release. Sazmining describes itself as having a multi-megawatt supply relationship with Proto and claims its fleet runs more than 20 points ahead of the Bitcoin network's carbon-free share.
What is still unclear
The press release is a sponsored announcement from Sazmining. Independent verification of the financing terms, performance figures, or availability timelines was not available from the supplied material. The disclaimer at the end of the source notes that readers should perform their own due diligence.
Why this matters
Buying at the hashboard level rather than the full system lowers the entry point for people who want to own competitive hashrate. Owners receive bitcoin directly in their own wallets rather than through a mining pool or exchange, which some in the crypto space view as a key advantage of self-custody.
What happens next
Systems are expected to be energized between November and December 2026, according to the press release.
