You’re Trusting Someone with Your Operation
I bought my first Bitcoin in 2011 at $4. Mined through two halving cycles.
After years as a CISO and CTO, I started looking for ways to deploy excess cash from my own LLC. The goals were specific:
- Tax-advantaged deployment of business profits
- A retirement strategy
- Diversified income stream
- Asymmetric upside without betting the whole business
Mining checked all three boxes. But finding reliable operators, hosts, and hardware sources took longer than it should have. The industry isn’t set up for business owners who just want it handled.
So I built that.
MinerOps is the service I wanted when I started. You get the tax advantages and the BTC. I handle the operations.

Facility Network
Relationships across multiple sites in multiple states. You benefit from diversification and leverage you can’t build alone.

Your Time Back
You focus on your business. We focus on keeping your miners running. That’s the trade at 3%.
Honest About Who This Fits
Managed Operations works well for a specific type of operator. We’d rather tell you upfront than waste both our time.
Good fit
- You own a profitable LLC deploying 10+ miners
- You want the tax advantages without managing operations
- You’re thinking long-term — 3 to 5+ years
- You have a CPA who can help you capture the depreciation
- You want BTC on your balance sheet, not just exposure
Not a fit
- You’re looking for a short-term trade or quick profit
- You don’t have an LLC or active business income to offset
- You want to manage the operation yourself
- You need guaranteed returns or income projections
- You’re deploying fewer than 10 miners
