A family office is a private command center.
It exists to preserve, grow, and transfer wealth across generations. Four functions carry that mandate.
Financial Oversight
Every dollar accounted for, across every entity.
Investment Management
Capital deployed where it compounds.
Tax Planning
Structure decided before the gain, not after.
Estate Strategy
Wealth that transfers intact to the next generation.
Why Bitcoin belongs in that mandate
Most assets carry risks a multi-generational horizon cannot ignore. Bitcoin can reduce exposure to four of them.
No Dilution Risk
Fixed supply of 21 million. No board can issue more.
No Debasement Risk
Supply cannot be inflated by policy. Ever.
Reduced Jurisdictional Dependence
Held and moved across borders without permission.
Self-Custody Optionality
Self-custodied keys answer to no counterparty.
Few comparable assets combine all four characteristics. On a 100-year horizon, that sovereignty is the point.
Why mine instead of buy?
Buying spot gets you exposure. Mining gets you exposure plus six advantages spot buyers never see.
Your cost basis is electricity, not the market price. When the economics work, you accumulate Bitcoin for less than spot.
Mining hardware is a financeable asset. That opens strategies unavailable to anyone buying Bitcoin on an exchange.
Mining returns depend on different variables than holding: hardware efficiency, energy cost, network difficulty. Same asset, different exposure.
Machines produce Bitcoin every day, in every market. No entries to time. No trades to second-guess.
Mining revenue pays out in Bitcoin, delivered straight to custody you control. No exchange in the middle.
100% bonus depreciation, deductible operating costs, and advanced structuring options a spot purchase cannot offer.
Why now?
Four conditions changed. Together they opened a window for allocators.
100% Bonus Depreciation
Back in the tax code. Qualifying machine CapEx can be expensed in year one.
Corporate Treasuries at Highs
Public companies hold more Bitcoin on their balance sheets than ever.
SAB 121 Repealed
Banks can now custody Bitcoin for their clients.
Strategic Bitcoin Reserve
The United States now holds Bitcoin as a reserve asset.

★★★★★
“Adam, Nick and the Simple Mining team bring deep technical knowledge, operational discipline, and a genuine partnership mentality that sets them apart in a crowded market. Fleet performance has been consistently optimized, communication is always timely… For a Bitcoin mining operator who wants a hosting partner that actually understands the business and takes long-term partnerships seriously, Simple Mining is the real deal.”

“Been mining with them through cycle lows and highs and they're always responsive. Can't beat the pricing… It would cost me four times as much to mine locally. I like the idea that mining has forced me to accumulate BTC every day regardless of the market.”

★★★★★
“I've mined with several others at this point, and my experience was mostly a nightmare. Bad uptimes, lack of transparency, poor results… This is NOT the case with Simple Mining. SM is upfront with their pricing… Home mining and other mining services feel like gambling, whereas Simple Mining is a simple and direct way to engage in BTC mining profitably.”

Buy Bitcoin At A Discount
You are not buying Bitcoin at the market rate. You are buying electricity and converting it into Bitcoin. When your production cost sits below spot, every block reward is accumulation at a discount. The wider the spread, the deeper the discount.
The Tax Case
Mining is one of the few ways to acquire Bitcoin inside an operating business, with the deductions that come with one.
Expense qualifying machine CapEx in year one. Especially powerful in a year with large capital gains to offset.
Electricity, hosting, and repairs are ordinary business expenses. They reduce taxable income directly.
Mined Bitcoin is ordinary income at receipt. Appreciation held past 12 months qualifies for long-term capital gains treatment.
Mining can be structured inside IRA vehicles for tax-advantaged accumulation across a long horizon.
Confirm the specifics with your CPA. Our tax partners work with clients on structure, calculations, and filings.
From Pain Points to Simple Solutions
The four objections every investment committee raises, and how we answer each one.
Family Office Concerns
Fiduciary Duty
Hosting cost is the bulk of mining OpEx. Rate volatility can turn a sound allocation into an indefensible one.
Operational Complexity
No family office wants to staff and run an industrial data center.
Reporting
Opaque hosting costs make cash-flow modeling and quarterly reporting impossible.
Entity Structure
Allocators need clarity on structure, compliance, and custody before a dollar moves.
Simple Solutions
Long-Term Fixed Contracts
Locked energy rates produce bankable projections your committee can underwrite.
End-To-End Hosting
Procurement, deployment, cooling, and in-house repair, handled by one team. You allocate. We operate.
Dashboard and Precision Billing
Real-time hashrate, P&L analytics, and line-item invoices built for family office reporting.
Clear Structure
US-domiciled operations across 10+ Iowa data centers, with entity and reporting guidance from our tax partners.
The questions your committee will ask
Who holds the Bitcoin?
You do. Mining payouts go to the wallet or custodian you designate. We never take custody of your Bitcoin.
Who owns the machines?
You do. The hardware is your titled property and depreciable equipment on your balance sheet. We host, power, and maintain it under contract.
How does the tax treatment work?
Machines placed in service can qualify for 100% bonus depreciation, and operating costs are ordinary business expenses. Treatment depends on your structure and participation. Confirm specifics with your CPA, or ours.
What if Bitcoin's price falls?
Mining returns vary with Bitcoin's price and network difficulty, and can be negative over a given period. The deck covers how allocators think about cycle timing, machine economics, and position sizing. Nothing here is a guarantee.
How do we exit?
Machines are liquid assets. Our marketplace and dashboard give you a venue to sell hardware positions rather than being locked in.
What does it cost?
Hardware at market pricing, plus all-in hosting from $0.065–$0.08/kWh. Line-item billing, no performance fees, no fund wrapper.
THE SHORT VERSIONYou own the machines. We run them in our Iowa facilities. Bitcoin lands in your custody at an effective cost below spot, with depreciation on the hardware. $300M under management, 1,200+ investors, 95% uptime.
Talk Through Your Mandate
A working session on sizing, structure, and timing for your mandate. Or start smaller: run one machine for seven days and see the numbers for yourself.
