# Sazmining – Bitcoin Mining as a Service (BMaaS) > Sazmining lets individuals and organizations own real ASIC mining hardware deployed in carbon-free data centers. Freshly mined Bitcoin goes directly to customers' wallets. Sazmining only earns a management fee when customers are actively stacking sats — it does not profit on the sale of rigs or on service fees. This file is generated from Sazmining's live store, so the prices, hardware and data centers below are what is actually for sale. Anything not listed here is not currently available. Full pricing page: https://www.sazmining.com/pricing ## What Sazmining Does Sazmining pioneered Bitcoin Mining as a Service (BMaaS). Customers purchase ASIC miners outright with full legal ownership and unique serial numbers. Sazmining handles everything else: shipping, installation, 24/7 operations, and maintenance at renewable energy data centers. Core differentiators: - True hardware ownership: customers control the hashrate, the hardware, and the Bitcoin - Carbon-free energy at all locations - Aligned incentives: Sazmining earns only from a management fee on mined sats, and does not profit on the sale of rigs or on service fees - Direct wallet payouts: Sazmining never custodies customer Bitcoin (cold wallet recommended) - No minimum order for standard purchases; dedicated support for 20+ rig orders - Break-even typically achieved in 12 to 18 months; rigs operate for 3 to 5 years ## Cost to Start Mining The cheapest way to start is $3,275: a Bitmain S21 XP 270TH hosted in Paraguay. That figure covers the rig ($2,467), setup ($150), import and shipping ($493), and the Prepaid Monthly Service Fee ($165). Paying in Bitcoin, USDT or USDC takes 5% off the rig price. There is no minimum order — a single rig is fine. ## Mining Hardware and Prices | Rig | Hashrate | Power | Data center | Rig price | Total to start | Availability | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | Bitmain S21 XP 270TH | 270 TH/s | 3645 W | Paraguay | $2,467 | $3,275 | in stock | | Bitmain S21 XP 270TH | 270 TH/s | 3645 W | Texas | $5,277 | $5,450 | in stock | "Total to start" includes the rig, setup, import/shipping and the Prepaid Monthly Service Fee.

Figures are net of the management fee and represent the rate while the rig is hashing; they do not subtract downtime. Network difficulty rises over time, which lowers these figures, and the Bitcoin price determines what the sats are worth. These are current-conditions estimates, not guarantees. - Bitmain S21 XP 270TH (270 TH/s): ~295,415 sats/month, ~3.54M sats/year, net of the 15% management fee - Bitmain S21 XP 270TH (270 TH/s): ~311,827 sats/month, ~3.74M sats/year, net of the 15% management fee Annual figures are the monthly figure times twelve, not a forecast. ## Monthly Electricity Cost Electricity is passed through at cost — Sazmining does not profit on power — and billed on the rig's actual consumption. Illustrative monthly figures, at each site's rate and guaranteed uptime, including cooling overhead: - Bitmain S21 XP 270TH in Paraguay: about 2,516 kWh/month at $0.059/kWh = ~$148/month - Bitmain S21 XP 270TH in Texas: about 2,656 kWh/month at $0.062/kWh = ~$165/month ## Fee Structure - Management fee: taken automatically at pool level on Bitcoin actually mined (see the table above per site) - Monthly service fee: actual electricity + maintenance passed through at cost; Sazmining does not profit on it - Rig purchase: one-time, at-cost pricing - No hidden fees, no profit taken on rigs or service fees, no custody fees, no withdrawal fees - First-year repair costs (parts and labor) are included ## Mining Pools - Luxor: 0.7% pool fee, ~140,000 sats minimum payout threshold - OCEAN: decentralized, 1% fee, 0.01 BTC minimum payout - Payout frequency is adjustable where supported (daily, weekly, monthly) ## Warranty - 1-year manufacturer warranty with free parts and labor on all rigs - Annual rig performance guarantee per site, listed in the data center table above ## How It Works (Step by Step) 1.
