Blockstream’s Bitcoin Mining Security Token Is Predicted to Outperform Direct Bitcoin Investments

MONTREAL

Blockstream, a global leader in Bitcoin infrastructure technology, has launched the third series of the highly anticipated Blockstream Mining Note 2 (BMN2), responding once again to growing investor interest in the possibilities of Bitcoin mining.

BMN2, an EU-compliant hashrate-backed security token, provides direct exposure to bitcoin hashrate powered by Blockstream’s state-of-the-art, enterprise-grade mining facilities in North America. BMN2 is designed to replicate the first iteration of the Blockstream Mining Note (BMN1), which launched in 2021 and matured in July of this year, delivering a 32% return on bitcoin over a 3-year period. Arnab Naskar, co-founder and co-CEO of STOKR, a digital asset investment platform, declares that “the highest payout in the history of real-world asset (RWA) security tokens.”

The Bitcoin industry has matured significantly since BMN1 launched in 2021. Bitcoin mining investment products such as hash rate contracts and hosted mining services have become available to investors and businesses. However, these products and services lack the investment amenities — secondary market liquidity, long-term fixed interest rates, immediate exposure, and protection from market volatility — that BMN2 provides.

BMN2 — which launched its main offering on July 18, 2024, raising just under $7 million — is based on a similar economic model to BMN1, offering investors a highly competitive hash rate and an investment opportunity that could outpace spot bitcoin purchases. Additionally, BMN2 includes hashrate protections that surpass those of its predecessor, including a 50% reserve of the posted hashrate (1PH/s per day) to protect against potential miner failures, reduced efficiency, and other non-force majeure issues.

Available to qualified non-US investors through Luxembourg-based virtual asset services provider STOKR, BMN2 is offered at a fixed, discounted hash rate of $21.23 for 48 months. The bitcoin hash rate refers to the short-term profitability of bitcoin mining and measures the revenue that bitcoin miners can earn. BMN2 is priced well below the current spot hash rate to encourage bitcoin holders, investors, and businesses to participate directly in maintaining the bitcoin network. Each BMN2 security token entitles holders to bitcoins produced by 1 PH/s (petahash per second) of Blockstream’s mining hash rate, providing a steady stream of bitcoin rewards directly tied to mining efficiency. BMN2 provides investors with a well-timed ramp to strategically participate in the market before the next bitcoin halving.

Bitcoin mining operations for BMN2 began this week at an equivalent hosting rate of less than $0.045 kWh (kilowatt-hour), which is significantly lower than the industry average of $0.065 for enterprises and $0.075 commonly available to retail customers. The strength, reliability, and efficiency of Blockstream’s advanced mining fleet allow for the expansion of favorable terms to the larger Bitcoin community to contribute to the decentralization of the network. Additionally, over 80% of BMN2’s power comes from carbon-neutral sources—wind, solar, and nuclear—making it a savvy investment opportunity that aligns investor interests, community cooperation, and offers an attractive entry point relative to historical market hash prices.

“Operational excellence and integrity are the foundation of our mining operations,” said Chris Cook, CIO at Blockstream. “We know firsthand the complexities associated with Bitcoin mining—hardware challenges, power constraints, and price fluctuations, to name a few. We built the BMN product to provide a consistent hash rate to maintain a strong and stable investment outcome.”

Blockstream’s leadership in Bitcoin mining is well-established. Its roots lie in CEO and co-founder Dr. Adam Back’s invention of the HashCash algorithm that underpins the proof-of-work protocol, a fundamental part of Bitcoin’s security architecture. Dr. Back’s pioneering work laid the foundation for Bitcoin, and his ongoing contributions to the BMN note and BASIC, Blockstream’s next mining offering, continue to shape the future of the entire real-world asset sector.
