General Questions

Green Mining innovates in the Bitcoin mining sector by focusing on sustainability and profitability. Born out of a desire to mine Bitcoin responsibly using renewable energy and repurposing mining heat to dry food, Green Mining democratises access to Bitcoin mining — enabling investors to directly receive Bitcoin as a result of the production process.

Every kilowatt used in our Bitcoin mining operations comes from renewable hydroelectric energy. We work closely with national utility providers to obtain surplus renewable energy at very low prices — making our operations cost-efficient and truly sustainable. We also utilise excess heat from mining to dry food like the Bitcoin Mango, supporting the local economy and our sustainability goals.

Green Mining revolutionises Bitcoin mining with a co-ownership model that aligns investor and founder incentives. (1) Equal ownership structure — investors receive the same shares as founders. (2) Aligned incentives — investors earn when founders earn, keeping operational costs low. (3) No hidden fees — zero-fee structure maximising returns for all stakeholders.

The exact opposite. With cloud mining you own nothing — no contracts with real rights, no ownership. With Green Mining you buy shares in a Swiss AG, registered in the commercial register. With voting rights. With quarterly reports. With the same rights as the founders.

We currently produce Bitcoin for ~$60,404 (as of April 2026). If the Bitcoin price falls, companies with higher energy costs are the first to shut down. This reduces the global hash rate, difficulty drops — and with it our production price. With a cheap energy contract and a second revenue stream from fruit drying, we're among the last who would need to shut down. No overleveraging. No margin call risk.

Investment & Participation

Co-Mining means you become a shareholder in the mining operation instead of running your own solo setup. Resources and expertise are pooled to increase efficiency, with earnings distributed among shareholders based on their investment — without the hassle of managing hardware, maintenance or market fluctuations yourself.

Investing with us means you are free from the complexities of solo mining. We handle everything — market analysis, hardware management, repairs and strategic expansion. This significantly boosts your chances of success beyond the common one-year drop-off point in private mining ventures. Essentially a hands-off, efficient and potentially more profitable approach.

Yes! When signing documents for GM3, simply make sure both names appear on the documents that require signatures.

You can fill out a short form to share your details, or schedule a call with one of our Co-Founders. It's a great opportunity to connect, exchange ideas and explore what makes GM3 truly unique.

We conduct KYC/AML checks after receiving investments to ensure a smooth fundraising process — avoiding initial barriers and only performing checks on actual investors. If an investor fails these checks, their investment is fully refunded.

Each quarter we do a financial close. Based on the company's profit, distributions are made — directly to your own wallet. The statement is shared transparently. No intermediary. No platform holding your keys.

The quarterly BTC distributions give you ongoing liquidity. For the shares themselves, we're planning a secondary market in the second half of 2026. Until then, Green Mining is a medium- to long-term investment.

In Switzerland, co-ownership starts from CHF 5,000. In Germany from CHF 1,000. For family offices and larger tickets: direct conversation with Sascha or Valentine.

BTC Payouts

A BTC payout is a share of profits distributed to shareholders as a reward for their investment. At GM3, BTC payouts represent a portion of earnings from our co-mining operations, distributed among shareholders in proportion to their stake.

When you receive BTC payouts from GM3, they are recognised in your local currency (EUR, USD, CHF) for tax purposes. Since tax laws vary by location, it is essential to consult a tax professional to understand how these payouts impact your tax situation.

When you regularly receive BTC through mining, the tax implications can vary widely by location. These BTC payouts can be subject to your jurisdiction's tax regulations. We strongly recommend consulting a tax professional for guidance tailored to your specific situation.

At GM3, Bitcoin payouts are distributed quarterly, reflecting the company's operational success and profitability. Local regulations may influence the specific processes and tax treatment, which is why understanding the regulatory environment relevant to each investor is important.

Your earnings depend on Bitcoin market prices and our operational efficiency. Based on 2025 results, our investors achieved an average ROI of +10% (up to +20% for early investors). GM3 targets strong returns by leveraging our low energy cost advantage and a second revenue stream from fruit drying.

Quarterly payouts are paid in Bitcoin and calculated based on GM3's overall financial performance. After operating costs are deducted, the remaining profit is distributed proportionally to all shareholders. Our structured approach ensures fair and transparent distribution.

Security & Operations

Bitcoin halving is an event that occurs approximately every four years, halving the block reward for miners. This mechanism controls Bitcoin's supply, ensuring scarcity and curbing inflation. The last halving occurred in April 2024, reducing the reward from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC per block.

We prepare by locking in long-term contracts for affordable renewable energy, ensuring low operational costs and sustained profitability. We also utilise heat from mining for additional revenue and use auto-tuning software on our hardware to balance overclocking and underclocking for maximum efficiency (J/TH).

Security covers three areas: physical security at our mining sites, digital protection for wallets and Bitcoin, and safeguarding of shares. For transparency, we provide monthly investor updates and hold quarterly Extraordinary General Meetings (EGMs) to keep investors fully informed.

Our infrastructure is protected by a comprehensive monitoring system for grid instabilities, on-site technicians 24/7 for manual reboots if needed, armed guards, camera systems and high multi-level fences. In the unlikely event of a platform hack, no assets can be lost as they are protected by blockchain technology.

Itaipú — the second-largest hydropower plant in the world. Paraguay uses less than 50% of its generated energy. The rest is available, clean and cheap: $0.057/kWh. This is a structural cost advantage over most mining locations worldwide.

Our miners generate waste heat of 70–80°C. We feed this heat into a drying facility — currently under construction, going live in 2026. With this we dry tropical fruits and create a second revenue stream independent of the Bitcoin price. Goal: reduce energy costs by 25%.
