We’re back tomorrow with more

Our CEO Mark Zalan delivered his keynote at #ConsensusMiami today.

"Bitcoin finally usable as cash." Native Layer 1, no extra complexity, no custody compromise.

Merchant toolkit launches mid-June.

Time to reset and make your next move ⛏️👾

This clip gets into a model that keeps the keys with the holder, avoids bridges and conversions, and still opens the door to liquidity and BTC-native yield.

The part that matters most is how it stays entirely in Bitcoin while trying to solve a problem the industry has struggled with for years.

Sharing a few moments from our GoMining GoClub event in Miami — a night we’ll remember for a long time.

We brought together an incredible group of builders, partners, and ecosystem leaders for an evening that felt full of purpose. From the first conversations on board, the energy was right: open, thoughtful, and genuinely fun.

It was one of those nights where people could step away from the usual pace, take in the Miami views, and connect in a more natural way.

Events like this matter because they create space for real conversations. Ideas move faster when people are in the same room, and that was exactly the feeling throughout the night.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us, shared their time, and made the event what it was.

A few highlights from the evening below.

"We've solved a problem that's been around for 18 years."

Mark Zalan on the panel at Consensus Miami, reminded everyone why we're all here.

Paying in Bitcoin, instantly, at zero cost. Like cash.

That's what GoBTC Pay is.

Day 3 at Consensus

The panel with Mark Zalan landed. The watch found its winner. The booth stayed packed until the end.

Three days. One mission. Bitcoin, finally usable as cash.

Thank you, Miami.

⚡Instant Funds is now live ⚡

GoMiners, if you’ve ever had to sell BTC just to get liquidity, this changes that.

Usually, getting liquidity means selling and stepping out of your position.

Instant Funds gives you another option.

You can now access USDT or USDC using your Bitcoin — without selling it.
Your Bitcoin stays locked while funds become available in your GoMining wallet, so you don’t have to sell your Bitcoin just to use it.

For now, each GoMiner can have one active Instant Funds position at a time.

Upcoming: Consensus Miami Recap with CEO Mark Zalan

We launched GoBTC Pay. We announced key partnerships. Now it is time to break down what it all means.

Join our CEO for the debrief on where Bitcoin payments and our infrastructure go from here.

📌 Wednesday, May 13 — 4 PM UTC

⚡️ We launched the GoMining MCP Server and AI Skills to make the platform easier to understand and easier to use.

The goal is to help people get answers faster, make better decisions, and interact with GoMining in a simpler way.

Instead of searching across the app or trying to piece things together, users can ask one question and get a more complete response.

That is a small change in workflow, but a big change in how the platform feels.

More than 500 people joined us at #ConsensusMiami to play the interactive games at our booth, and the energy was huge throughout the 3 days.

We also had a major launch with
GoBTC Pay, which made the event especially important as we introduced how we’re moving Bitcoin payments from concept to real use.

Across the conference:

• 9 different games were played
• Nearly 1,000 Solar GoBoxes were opened
• Close to $13,000 in Bonus Miner upgrades were won
• One participant won an Epic X GoMining Jacob & Co

It was also great to receive strong feedback about the team, the booth experience, and the overall energy around the activations. We had a blast and we’re so happy that all our new and existing customers did too!

Thanks to everyone who joined us, played, and helped make Miami such a strong moment for GoMining.

A full blog recap is coming soon with real event photos and more detail.

Bitcoin pays miners for proof of work. GoBTC Pay adds a second cheque.

Bitcoin pays miners for proof of work. That’s the deal — and it has worked since 2009.

GoBTC Pay adds a second cheque.

Every GoBTC Pay transaction carries a 0.2% merchant fee. Half of that — 0.1% of every transaction value — flows to the miners in GoMining’s ecosystem, pro-rata to hashrate. On top of the block reward. On top of the standard fee. Paid in BTC.

So when GoBTC Pay merchant volume comes online, every GoMining customer with a digital miner starts earning a share of payments revenue. Not “yield.” Not “rewards points.” A fee for doing what hashrate is supposed to do: confirm transactions.

This is the part that no other payment company can offer. Because no other payment company is also a top-ten miner.

Stack sats. Mine sats. Now: get paid in sats when other people spend sats.

The fee model is the message.

A retail card payment in 2026 costs the merchant somewhere between 1.5% and 3.5%. Interchange, scheme fees, processor margin, gateway, PCI — it stacks up.

On a $100 sale, the merchant keeps between $96.50 and $98.50, and the customer often eats the cost twice through surcharges and higher menu prices.

BitPay charges 1% on top of all that, and converts your customer’s BTC into fiat whether you asked for it or not.

GoBTC Pay is 0% for the user and 0.2% for the merchant. On a $100 sale, the merchant keeps $99.80.

But the more interesting number is where that 0.2% goes.

It doesn’t sit on a balance sheet in San Francisco. It is split in half and sent back into the network that produced the transaction:

→ 0.1% to the miners in GoMining’s pool, pro-rata to hashrate.
→ 0.1% to the wallet that initiated the payment.

We keep nothing on third-party flow. Every basis point routes back to the people running the rails.

Card networks extract value from every swipe. GoBTC Pay routes value back to the network. That isn’t a tagline. That’s the protocol.
