Most people who want exposure to Bitcoin mining face the same three obstacles: the hardware is expensive (a current-gen ASIC costs $4,000–$6,000), the hosting requires a minimum fleet commitment, and the technical setup is a barrier for anyone who isn't already a miner. PL Shares solves all three.
The concept: 1% of a miner, starting at $50
PL Shares lets you purchase a percentage of a specific ASIC miner running at our facility in Chattanooga. Each miner is divided into 100 shares, representing 100 percent of that machine's hashrate. You can purchase as little as one share — 1% of a miner — starting at $50.
This is not a fund. It's not a token. It's not a derivative. You own a compute service contract tied to a specific machine with a real serial number that you can verify on your Foreman dashboard.
How BTC payouts work
Your share earns Bitcoin proportionally to the percentage of hashrate you own. The calculation is straightforward:
Your hashrate earns gross BTC based on its share of the network's total mining output. From that gross amount, two costs are deducted: the hosting cost (power starting at 5.5¢/kWh, calculated on your proportional share of the miner's wattage) and a 10% management fee. The remaining BTC is sent directly to your Bitcoin wallet every day.
If you own 5 shares (5%) of an Antminer S21 Pro (234 TH/s, 3,510W), you control 11.7 TH/s of hashrate. At current network conditions and BTC price, that generates approximately 0.00014 BTC per day in gross mining output, before hosting and management fee deductions.
How this is different from cloud mining
Cloud mining operations ask you to purchase "hashrate" with no visibility into the underlying hardware, no ability to verify the equipment exists, and no recourse if the operation becomes unprofitable and shuts down — a common outcome in the industry's history.
PL Shares is different in three specific ways:
Real serial numbers. Every share is tied to a specific ASIC miner with a manufacturer serial number. You can look it up. It's not pooled into anonymous hardware.
Tour the facility. Your miner runs at our secure facility in Chattanooga, TN. Schedule a facility tour by appointment — we'll provide location details and show you the specific rack your machine is in.
Live Foreman dashboard. Real-time hashrate, temperature, fan speed, uptime, and earnings are visible on your dashboard at all times — the same monitoring platform institutional miners use.
