01 - Mechanism
Capital in. Hashrate allocated. BTC out.
Ingot is meant to be a claim on Bitcoin production, not a yield story. The unit is customer hashrate allocation over time.
01
Allocate capital
You would fund an account. v1 custody would start custodial, with withdrawal to self-custody as a first-class path, not a trap.
02
Hold allocated hashrate
The unit is a share of industrial TH/s from partnered operators, not a purchase that “mines” when you swipe.
03
Receive BTC rewards
Mining rewards would pay in BTC and show with pool attribution and on-chain payout data you can inspect.
02 - Proof over narrative
What you should be able to inspect
Phase 1 buyers compare Ingot to hosting an ASIC or holding BTC. They punish narrative. If hashrate cannot be shown, it is not sold.
Allocated TH/s
A dashboard would show the hashrate assigned to you. If that number cannot be shown, it is not sold.
Pool / worker attribution
Work should resolve to a pool and, when available, a worker, not a brand story about “our miners.”
On-chain payout data
BTC arriving should be checkable. We will not invent balances, names, or live earnings on this site.
Methodology over APY tiles
Publish how rewards are calculated, then actuals when they exist. No locked fantasy rate.

What Ingot is not
Readers will misread us as a cashback card unless we stop them. This is a production product, or it is nothing.
Not a debit card
Not cashback. Not spend rewards. Nothing you buy spins up an ASIC.
Not swipe-to-mine
Transaction-triggered mining at card scale is not the product.
Not a bank
Not FDIC insured. Do not analogize this to a savings account with a government backstop.
Not guaranteed yield
Rewards move with difficulty, hashprice, uptime, fees, and operator performance.
Not owned mines
Ingot does not operate owned mines. We will name operators when they are contracted.
Not live mining
Closed-beta allocate is open at app.ingotcrypto.com. Mining stays sample unless a live NiceHash feed succeeds.
04 - Alternatives
Compared with cards, ASICs, stocks, and black-box yield
| If you want | Usual option | Ingot’s bid |
|---|---|---|
| Price exposure only | Spot BTC / ETF | Different job. Ingot is production access, optional. |
| Rewards on spend | Cashback / debit cards | We do not sell spend rewards. Different tax character too. |
| Direct machines | Buy or host ASICs | Allocation without operating the box, if Phase 1 economics hold. |
| Mining-industry beta | Public miners / stocks | Equity, not a BTC payout from allocated TH/s. |
| An easy APY number | Opaque CeFi BTC yield | We only exist if proof is better. |
05 - Economics
No promised rate
Yield, if it exists, comes from machines, power, and uptime. It is a production outcome, not a product feature.
Rewards will move with network difficulty, hashprice, uptime, fees, and partner performance. We will not quote a customer rate until Phase 1 actuals exist.
Research modeled 5–9% APY in BTC at industrial partner scale after energy, pool fees, hosting, and platform margin. That is a target to validate in Phase 1, not an offer, floor, or track record.
Ingot’s intended take is a disclosed spread or servicing fee on attributable mining revenue. Bps TBD. Not interchange.
06 - Tax and risk
Income, not cashback
Mining rewards are generally ordinary income at fair market value when received (IRS Notice 2014-21). Ingot will not market them as tax-free cashback.
Not a bank. Not FDIC insured. BTC rewards are not guaranteed. US first. KYC expected. No-KYC is not available.
Legal classification (money transmission vs investment product) is TBD with counsel. Do not read this site as “not a security” or “fully compliant.”
07 - Stage
Idea stage. Defined product. Not a card.
No mining partners, custodian, or licenses are contracted. We will name them when they are. Closed beta is the next step. Requesting access does not create an account and does not guarantee admission.
