"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.

The block is the receipt.

Every previous attempt to make Bitcoin spendable at scale made the same compromise: they moved settlement off the base layer. Lightning channels. Sidechains. Wrapped tokens. Custodial IOUs you can redeem “later.”

Each one solved the speed problem by surrendering the thing that made Bitcoin worth solving for in the first place.
GoBTC Pay refuses the trade.

Every GoBTC Pay transaction settles on Bitcoin’s base layer. On-chain. In a real block. With a real hash. No L2. No sidechain. No wrapped anything. The block is the receipt.

This is possible because GoMining is a top-ten Bitcoin miner globally with a dedicated private pool processing GoBTC Pay transactions. Other payment products depend on someone else’s pool to confirm transactions, which means they depend on someone else’s priorities, fees, and timing.

We mine the blocks ourselves.

The target: 12-hour final on-chain settlement on every GoBTC Pay transaction by the end of 2026. Not “12 hours from a custodian’s spreadsheet.” 12 hours from broadcast to confirmed Bitcoin block.

Layer 1, or it doesn’t count.

Instant Funds follows a straightforward flow.

You choose how much USDT or USDC you need. The app shows how much BTC will be locked, along with the fee, repayment deadline, liquidation price, and risk level. Once you confirm, your BTC is locked and the funds are credited immediately.

There are no ongoing interest charges. Instead, a one-time service fee applies when the position is opened, and each position has a 30-day repayment window.
