Three routes to Bitcoin mining exposure, three very different profiles. The wrong choice is expensive.

Cloud Mining: Fastest Entry, Highest Counterparty Risk

No hardware, no logistics, daily revenue based on purchased hashrate. The critical variable: counterparty trust. Coinfast's cloud mining service is backed by real operational ASICs across five facilities — not synthetic hashrate. Contracts 3–24 months, daily payouts, real-time pool reporting.

Professional Hosting: Own the Asset, Outsource Operations

Own the hardware economics — balance sheet asset value, resale optionality, direct BTC production — while a professional operator handles everything else. Coinfast's hosting service: zero setup fee for 350+ machines, 99% uptime SLA, on-site certified repair at all facilities, 24/7 monitoring. Minimum 1MW. Our recommendation for most institutional clients.

Self-Build: Maximum Control, Full Commitment

Compelling at scale (50MW+) over a long time horizon. Requires 12–18 months, significant capex, and genuine operational expertise. Coinfast's farm construction service delivers turnkey across five countries with optional ongoing management.

Most institutional clients start with professional hosting and graduate to self-build after 12–24 months of operating experience and a genuine understanding of the economics at their scale.
