Hosting should protect machine life before chasing the headline rate.
The main opportunity HashrateUp is providing is access to a serious hosting supplier without needing to arrive as a very large buyer. Smaller quantities can be placed into an operating environment that would normally be available only to much larger orders.
Cheap hosting can look good on day one and get expensive when uptime, cooling, maintenance, curtailment, billing, and repair paths are weak. Hydro units are capital assets. The better strategy is to place them where the operator can run them consistently, deal with issues quickly, and keep the fleet productive through the full term.
HashrateUp is taking the longer view here. Paying slightly more for lower operational risk can make sense if it helps keep machines online, extends usable machine life, and avoids the churn of moving hardware from one questionable host to another.
Sustainable production beats fragile upside.
This allocation gives smaller buyers a path into a supplier relationship that normally starts with much larger machine counts.
A responsible host makes the boring things work: power, cooling, uptime, metering, support, and communication. That is where real mining returns are protected.
The cheapest kWh is not always the best kWh. If a better operator reduces downtime and repair friction, the extra cost can be rational.
This is built around 24 month production and machine longevity. The aim is steady BTC output, not a quick turnaround that relies on everything going perfectly.

Indicative simple ROI only. Hardware pricing is pulled from the latest miner-pricing database during each site build, with U2, U2H, 2U, 3U, and mix rows excluded for now. Assumes 24 months / 730 days, $40/PH/day average hashprice, 40,000 sats/PH/day average BTC hashprice, $0.0700/kWh hosting, and $80 total rack/de-rack cost per unit. Price to mine 1 BTC is the implied all-in 24 month cost per BTC produced, including hardware, energy, and rack/de-rack. BTC cost conversion is implied at $100,000/BTC from the two hashprice assumptions. Figures are before pool fees, taxes, downtime variance, firmware variation, difficulty changes, repairs, shipping, customs, and financing costs.
Hydro hosting questions answered.
What is the opportunity?
Access to hosted Bitcoin mining deployment in the US, paired with selected Bitmain hydro ASICs where needed. HashrateUp coordinates sourcing, contract flow, onboarding, and deployment.
Who does the client contract with?
The client-facing structure is HashrateUp OÜ to customer. HashrateUp manages the downstream client relationship and the upstream host does not need to be named publicly.
What does the client get?
Hosted ASIC deployment with power, rack space, networking, site operations, monitoring, facility support, installation, configuration, and standard maintenance.
What hosting rate applies?
The current client-facing rate is $0.0700/kWh all-in.
What is the hosting term?
The working term is 24 months from commencement, with renewal language handled in the signed agreement.
What racking fees apply?
$40 per miner at commissioning and $40 per miner at decommissioning.
Is there an upfront payment?
Yes. One month estimated energy prepayment is required before energization. Deposit mechanics and end-of-term credits are governed by the signed terms.
How is power billed?
Energy is billed from actual measured power consumption at the fixed kWh rate. Over-use is invoiced and under-use can be credited to the next month.
What uptime is offered?
The working client term uses a 94% uptime guarantee, measured on a rolling 12 month basis after the first 12 months.
What happens if uptime is missed?
Uptime credits and compensation are governed by the signed service order. The public page avoids promising a formula before the client agreement is finalized.
Who owns the miners?
Customer-owned hardware remains customer property. HashrateUp can also support machines it owns, leases, manages, controls, or is authorized to place for downstream clients.
Who insures the machines?
Facility insurance and customer ASIC coverage need to be confirmed in the final contract. Clients should not assume physical loss, theft, or hardware damage is covered unless it is stated clearly.
How are repairs handled?
Standard maintenance covers monitoring, resets, connection checks, common-part testing, firmware updates, cleaning, and basic support. Advanced repairs require written approval and are billed for parts, labour, and related costs.
Can clients use a third-party repair provider?
Yes, subject to site rules and timing. Third-party repair or removal needs to be coordinated so capacity, access, and machine custody stay clean.
Are firmware changes allowed?
Third-party firmware can be considered, but changes that affect power draw, cooling, reliability, or site limits require review and approval.
Can clients underclock to save power?
No. Underclocking or firmware used to reduce consumption is not allowed under the current policy.
Can clients overclock?
Potentially, yes. Approval depends on climate, cooling capacity, site limits, and energy-team review at the time.
Can the customer terminate early?
The working structure allows termination mechanics to be handled in the signed agreement, including notice, fees, and deposit application where relevant.
What if deployment is delayed?
The client version should preserve protection if capacity is delayed, under-delivered, or not energized within the agreed window.
Does the client receive demand response revenue?
Under the current upstream template, demand response or load-program revenue is retained by the host and is not credited against the customer power price.
Are terms confidential?
Yes. Agreement terms, service orders, facility location, pricing, and technical or commercial information are confidential. Publicity needs written consent.
Which clients are the best fit?
Best fit is a client who wants a smaller hydro allocation placed with a supplier normally focused on much larger orders, or a larger buyer needing roughly 1-6 MW of US hosting demand. The strongest fit is someone who values durable production and managed operations more than chasing the absolute lowest kWh.
Which hydro ASIC models are being marketed?
The current list focuses on selected Bitmain S21 and S23 hydro models with live pricing pulled before quote. U2, U2H, 2U, 3U, and mixed-lot rows are excluded from the indicative economics for now.
Are ROI figures guaranteed?
No. ROI figures are indicative only and depend on hashprice, network difficulty, BTC price, uptime, fees, taxes, firmware, repairs, shipping, customs, and financing costs.
