Cloud Mining
NFT-based Cloud Mining
As our operations continue to scale we will offer non-fungible token (“NFT”) based cloud mining. Therefore, anyone in the world will be able to invest in our operations and earn Bitcoin into their wallet(s).
- Each set of miners will have its own NFT token assigned to them.
- Client purchases or rents NFT token.
- As long as the NFT token is in their wallet, it earns Bitcoin from miners assigned to his/her NFT
- BitcoinAlley collects commission from providing this service.
Qualified Custodian for Digital Assets
In-House Asset Custody
Throughout BitcoinAlley’s business history and experience dealing with cryptocurrencies, we have solved the regulatory puzzle to become a Qualified Custodian for Digital Assets (Cryptocurrency) in the Unites States. In the future, we are looking to deploy our own fully insured and regulated custodial services for our mining business to further reduce costs for our investors.
Better Mining
Increasing Bitcoin Mining Efficiency
Since 2017, BitcoinAlley has been designing systems to improve the efficiency of mining (hash rate). We have designed and deployed liquid cooling systems for Bitcoin miners, which allowed us to:
Remove excessive heat from mining facility
Increase the hash rate per miner
Reduce electrical consumption
Drastically prolong the life of mining equipment

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
At BitcoinAlley we see Bitcoin as the only independent and fully decentralized blockchain. Heavy use of Proof of Work (mining) is a large part of Bitcoin’s intrinsic value and the reason we believe in its long-term viability.
Presently, BitcoinAlley’s cost of mining one (1) bitcoin is ~$3,500, while the current market price is significantly higher. We deploy your investment more efficiently than other Bitcoin related investment vehicles that purchase assets at market cost.
100% of the Bitcoin we mine stays on BitcoinAlley’s company balance sheet. We believe that Bitcoin and Ethereum will appreciate over time, thereby increasing shareholder value. Further, we use smart contracts and arbitrage to earn a return on the cryptocurrencies we hold in storage.
When the price of Bitcoin falls, many miners pause their operations and mining Bitcoin becomes easier for those who can stay operational. Due to BitcoinAlley’s low cost of energy, we are able to continue operating and mining more Bitcoin during price downturns.
Bitcoin has been following the Stock-to-Flow model (used to predict the price behavior of precious metals) for the past 10 years. Please see the projection here.
As part of Bitcoin’s coin issuance, miners are rewarded a certain amount of bitcoins whenever a block is produced (approximately every 10 minutes). When Bitcoin first started, 50 Bitcoins per block were given as a reward to miners. After every 210,000 blocks are mined (approximately every 4 years), the block reward halves and will keep on halving until the block reward per block becomes 0 (approximately by year 2140). As of now, the block reward is 6.25 coins per block and will decrease to 3.125 coins per block post halving.
Bitcoin was designed as a deflationary currency. Like gold, the premise is that over time, the issuance of bitcoins will decrease and thus become scarcer over time. As bitcoins become scarcer and if demand for them increases over time, Bitcoin can be used as a hedge against inflation as the price, guided by price equilibrium is bound to increase. On the flip side, fiat currencies (like the US dollar), inflate over time as its monetary supply increases, leading to a decrease in purchasing power. This is known as monetary debasement by inflation. A simple example would be to compare housing prices decades ago to now and you’ll notice that they’ve increased over time!
Since we know Bitcoin’s issuance over time, people can rely on programmed/controlled supply. This is helpful to understand what the current inflation rate of Bitcoin is, what the future inflation rate will be at a specific point in time, how many Bitcoins are in circulation and how many remain left to be mined.
The network itself controls the issuance of Bitcoins, derived by consensus through all Bitcoin participants. Ever since Bitcoin was first designed, the following consensus rules exist to this day:
- 21,000,000 Bitcoins to ever be produced
- Target of 10-minute block intervals
- Halving event occurring every 210,000 blocks (approximately every 4 years)
- Block reward which starts at 50 and halves continually every halving event until it reaches 0 (approximately by year 2140)
Any change to these parameters requires all Bitcoin participants to agree by consensus to approve the change.
Bitcoin has been referred to as “Star Trek Money “
After block rewards are no longer generated, Miners will get paid exclusively from transaction rewards. Rewards are also paid for Proof of Work and smart contract verification on the Block chain. Therefore, it would not be prudent of us to try to approximate the earnings from transaction rewards 120 years in the future.
