Strategy
Why mine instead of just buying crypto and holding?
🎯 Mining is not just "buying crypto with extra steps" — it's an energy monetisation business. You convert electricity spend into crypto assets, creating deductible business expenses and a physical asset base.
Mining has six distinct advantages over DCA buying:
1. Below-market accumulation. With cheap electricity, your Miner 1000 with 1× RTX 5090 + 7× RTX 5080 can produce coins below market price.
🎯 2. Forced DCA — mining's biggest advantage. Your rig mines coins every single day regardless of market conditions. You can't panic-sell and you can't forget to buy.
3. Hardware retains value. GPUs hold roughly 60% of their value even after years of mining.
4. Multi-asset diversification. A single GPU rig can mine 14 different tokens.
5. Tax efficiency (UK). Claim 100% Annual Investment Allowance on equipment and deduct electricity as a business expense.
🎯 6. Downside protection. If crypto collapses, a miner retains ~60% hardware resale value. Your floor is never zero.
