Bitcoin mining can seem complicated from the outside. This guide breaks down exactly how Sazmining works, what you pay, and what you get.
How Sazmining Works
Sazmining offers Bitcoin Mining as a Service (BMaaS).
You own a mining rig. We handle everything else: sourcing the hardware, placing it in a renewable-powered data center, and keeping it running. Your Bitcoin goes straight to your wallet.
Here's the process:
1. Choose a Mining Rig
Browse our available rigs and pick one based on your budget and goals. Each listing includes performance specs, estimated revenue, and a full cost breakdown.
2. We Manage It in a Carbon-Free Data Center
Your rig runs in one of our facilities, each powered by 100% carbon-free energy. Current locations and availability are listed below and in our store.
3. Bitcoin Goes Directly to Your Wallet
Your rig mines Bitcoin around the clock. Rewards are sent to your wallet after two deductions:
- Management Fee: 15% of your mining pool payout, split automatically through the pool (via Luxor or OCEAN) before the 400,000-sat customer payment threshold is reached. See How Bitcoin Mining Payouts Work with Sazmining for the full breakdown.
- Service Fee: A monthly charge billed separately, based on your rig's actual energy usage. This covers electricity and maintenance.

Our Model = Your Benefits
Management Fee
15% of your rig's Bitcoin rewards, split at the pool level before payout. This is Sazmining's only source of revenue. We don't mark up electricity or profit from rig sales, so our incentives track directly with yours.
Service Fee
A monthly charge covering electricity and maintenance. It's calculated based on your rig's actual energy usage and does not include any margin for Sazmining.
The estimate you see at purchase is based on each location's Annual Rig Performance Guarantee. The fee is not capped, but the estimate is a reliable planning benchmark.
Aligned Incentives
Our management fee is a percentage of what your rig produces. If your rig underperforms, we earn less. That's by design.
How to Calculate Profitability
BTC price and network difficulty change daily. Any numbers we publish here go stale fast. Use our live calculator instead:
The formula it runs:
(Sats Earned x BTC Price) - Management Fee - Service Fee = Net Revenue
Plug in your rig and location and it does the rest with current network data.

FAQs
1. What is the management fee?
15% of your Bitcoin rewards, split automatically at the pool level via Luxor or OCEAN. It covers operations, performance management, and our cost of sourcing each data center. This is the only fee that generates revenue for Sazmining.
For a detailed breakdown of how the split works, read How Bitcoin Mining Payouts Work with Sazmining.
2. What is the service fee?
A monthly charge for electricity and maintenance based on your rig's actual energy usage. Sazmining does not profit from this fee.
3. Is the service fee capped?
It's effectively hard-capped at 110%, which reflects the ceiling when a rig is pushed to its overclocking limit. Estimates at purchase reflect typical operating conditions for each location.
4. How do I calculate profitability?
Use the live mining calculator for current numbers. The formula:
(Sats Earned x BTC Price) - Management Fee - Service Fee = Net Revenue
5. Are there hidden fees?
No. The management fee and service fee are the only costs. Both are disclosed before you purchase.
6. How does mining compare to buying Bitcoin?
Mining earns Bitcoin directly from the network, independent of exchange prices or order book liquidity. It's a way to accumulate native Bitcoin over time without going through a third party.
