VOTE#12. Using Treasury funds to purchase new miners

The proposal's essence It is proposed to allocate 2.5 BTC from Minto Treasury funds for the purchase of miners with a total capacity of 120,000 TH/s and an average energy efficiency of 29 W/TH. This measure is aimed at:

• Increasing the project’s total hashrate and mining BTC,
• Improving energy efficiency,
• Cost reduction,
• Scaling up contributions to Treasury,
• Improving conditions for Minto's clients.

Why is this important? Minto consistently invests part of its profits in expanding its own computing infrastructure. At the moment: The project’s total hashrate: 190,000 TH Active Customer Hashrate (ACH): 36,590 TH Average Energy Efficiency (AEE): 31 W/TH Customer Energy Efficiency (CEE): 29 W/TH

The purchased new equipment does not merely replace the old miners, but offers a strategic increase in the project’s mining power. We continue to use existing miners, complementing them with modern, more efficient models. This approach allows us to constantly increase the share of income from our own hashrate, accelerating the Treasury reserve growth and reducing dependence on external factors. Each new miner contributes to reducing the cost of BTC mining, increasing the overall energy efficiency and the project's stability. Even with a decrease in the bitcoin price, we maintain high profitability due to increased production volume and optimized costs. This ensures a stable financial model, makes the project less sensitive to market volatility, and allows Minto to take an increasingly strong position in the decentralized mining industry.

What will change and what are the benefits If the vote is approved:

• 2.5 BTC will be converted to USD within 2 days of the end of voting.
• 120,000 TH/s of equipment with an energy efficiency target of 29 W/TH will be purchased.

Expected results: The project hashrate will increase to 310,000 TH/s Contributions to Treasury will grow by ~52%, accelerating its growth by 1.5 times The equipment will be installed on Minto farms within 30 days after payment

Payback and efficiency Expected payback: ~8 months Potential return on investment from Treasury: ~146%

The expansion of capacities helps to reduce the share of fixed costs by 1 TH/s and increases revenue sustainability Investing in its own infrastructure makes Minto less dependent on the market situation. This strengthens Minto’s stability, allows the company to withstand crises and reinforces its position as a technological leader in the decentralized mining sphere.

Voting format: Option 1: Yes, allocate funds for the purchase of equipment Option 2: No, do not allocate funds
