🍕 GoMiners, Bitcoin Pizza Day comes with sats

Bitcoin Pizza Day started with one BTC payment and became a reminder of what Bitcoin can be when people actually use it.

With GoBTC Pay, GoMining is on a mission to make every day Bitcoin Pizza day.

This weekend, we're celebrating that idea with a sats raffle inside GoMining.

From May 22 to May 24, you can create new miners or upgrade your existing miners’ power, collect raffle tickets, and compete for BTC prizes paid in sats.

🎁 27 winners in total ⚡ 7,200,000 sats up for grabs

Ready to get your slice? 👀

📢 Cards for Friends update

GoMiners, we’re extending the Cards for Friends Contest and Cards for Friends Raffle until June 30.

After receiving complaints from the community, we reviewed recent activity and found rule violations linked to a group of participants.

The 23 accounts involved have been notified and will be removed from both activities. We’re also tightening our checks to help keep participation fair.

You now have another month to share your cards, take part, and stay in the running.

1000 days of tokenomics

1000 days of weekly cycles. 1000 days of burns, mints, votes, and rewards moving through the same system.

Every cycle connects:

 → maintenance fees burned  → fewer tokens minted back  → veGOMINING votes shaping weekly reward distribution  → maintenance discounts and ecosystem rewards tied into the model

Across 1000 days, tokenomics became more than a design. It became part of how GoMining runs week after week.

Not a one-time mechanism or a campaign layer.

A recurring system that connects $GOMINING to maintenance payments, maintenance discounts, weekly rewards, and distribution decisions.

After 1000 days, the mechanics are still active.

The rules are still public. The votes are still open.

The cycle continues.

We cannot move your sats.

Most “Bitcoin payment” products fix the UX problem by taking your keys. They hold the BTC; you hold an IOU on a screen. Convenient — until it isn’t.

GoBTC Pay is non-custodial by design. The wallet uses a 2-of-3 multisig architecture:

→ Key 1 — held by you, on your device, in the secure enclave. → Key 2 — held by GoMining, as co-signer. → Key 3 — held by an independent regulated custodian.

Any two keys authorise a transaction. No single party — including us — can move your BTC alone.

Why three keys instead of one? Because real non-custody has to survive real life. GoMining disappears tomorrow? You and the independent custodian can still sign. Custodian compromised? You and GoMining can still sign. No single point of failure. No trusted third party with unilateral control.

This isn’t “self-custody with help.” This is multisig the way Bitcoin’s protocol has always supported it, wired into a payment app anyone can use.

Not your keys, not your coins. With GoBTC Pay, the keys stay yours.

“Yesterday, people drove in buggies with horses, but the future is not that”.

Here's a clip of our CEO Mark Zalan discussing GoBTC Pay whilst taking on card providers at Consensus Miami - he was on fire 🔥

The fee model is the message.

A retail card payment in 2026 costs the merchant somewhere between 1.5% and 3.5%. Interchange, scheme fees, processor margin, gateway, PCI — it stacks up.

On a $100 sale, the merchant keeps between $96.50 and $98.50, and the customer often eats the cost twice through surcharges and higher menu prices.

BitPay charges 1% on top of all that, and converts your customer’s BTC into fiat whether you asked for it or not.

GoBTC Pay is 0% for the user and 0.2% for the merchant. On a $100 sale, the merchant keeps $99.80.

But the more interesting number is where that 0.2% goes.

It doesn’t sit on a balance sheet in San Francisco. It is split in half and sent back into the network that produced the transaction:

→ 0.1% to the miners in GoMining’s pool, pro-rata to hashrate.
→ 0.1% to the wallet that initiated the payment.

We keep nothing on third-party flow. Every basis point routes back to the people running the rails.

Card networks extract value from every swipe. GoBTC Pay routes value back to the network. That isn’t a tagline. That’s the protocol.

🌋 GoMiners, the Simple Earn Keys Raffle results are in.

Across the raffle, 182,828 tickets were generated and 10 access keys were awarded.

Here’s how it played out 👇

🔥 Megatron won 2 keys out of 10. Bitcoin blocks 949058 and 949062 both selected Megatron’s tickets.

🍀 f9df250c won with only 26 tickets. A 0.1% chance, and still enough to land a key.

📊 ProducerZ had the most tickets. 14,142 tickets, or 7.7% of all tickets, but didn’t win a key.

Every result can be verified on-chain. Winners were determined using Bitcoin block hashes 949057–949066, with each winning ticket calculated from the block hash and total ticket count.

No human involvement, just Bitcoin.

The Magmars collection releases on May 18. Each Magmar avatar brings:

🔥 Blazing Multiplier: ×1.4 on your Simple Earn base rate when active 🔐 GoClub access: invite-only events, exclusive drops, perks, rewards, VIP support, and premium assistance for avatar holders.

👉 Bitcoin is great to hold. The harder part is what happens when you need liquidity...

Instant Funds was built for that moment.

It lets you access USDT or USDC using your BTC as collateral, while your Bitcoin stays locked inside GoMining until you repay.

That gives users a way to unlock funds without selling their position.

The idea is simple: keep your Bitcoin, get the liquidity you need, and manage both in one place.

Bitcoin pays miners for proof of work. GoBTC Pay adds a second cheque.

Bitcoin pays miners for proof of work. That’s the deal — and it has worked since 2009.

GoBTC Pay adds a second cheque.

Every GoBTC Pay transaction carries a 0.2% merchant fee. Half of that — 0.1% of every transaction value — flows to the miners in GoMining’s ecosystem, pro-rata to hashrate. On top of the block reward. On top of the standard fee. Paid in BTC.

So when GoBTC Pay merchant volume comes online, every GoMining customer with a digital miner starts earning a share of payments revenue. Not “yield.” Not “rewards points.” A fee for doing what hashrate is supposed to do: confirm transactions.

This is the part that no other payment company can offer. Because no other payment company is also a top-ten miner.

Stack sats. Mine sats. Now: get paid in sats when other people spend sats.

More than 500 people joined us at #ConsensusMiami to play the interactive games at our booth, and the energy was huge throughout the 3 days.

We also had a major launch with
GoBTC Pay, which made the event especially important as we introduced how we’re moving Bitcoin payments from concept to real use.

Across the conference:

• 9 different games were played
• Nearly 1,000 Solar GoBoxes were opened
• Close to $13,000 in Bonus Miner upgrades were won
• One participant won an Epic X GoMining Jacob & Co

It was also great to receive strong feedback about the team, the booth experience, and the overall energy around the activations. We had a blast and we’re so happy that all our new and existing customers did too!

Thanks to everyone who joined us, played, and helped make Miami such a strong moment for GoMining.

A full blog recap is coming soon with real event photos and more detail.

⚡️ We launched the GoMining MCP Server and AI Skills to make the platform easier to understand and easier to use.

The goal is to help people get answers faster, make better decisions, and interact with GoMining in a simpler way.

Instead of searching across the app or trying to piece things together, users can ask one question and get a more complete response.

That is a small change in workflow, but a big change in how the platform feels.

⚡Instant Funds is now live ⚡

GoMiners, if you’ve ever had to sell BTC just to get liquidity, this changes that.

Usually, getting liquidity means selling and stepping out of your position.

Instant Funds gives you another option.

You can now access USDT or USDC using your Bitcoin — without selling it. Your Bitcoin stays locked while funds become available in your GoMining wallet, so you don’t have to sell your Bitcoin just to use it.

For now, each GoMiner can have one active Instant Funds position at a time.

"We've solved a problem that's been around for 18 years."

Mark Zalan on the panel at Consensus Miami, reminded everyone why we're all here.

Paying in Bitcoin, instantly, at zero cost. Like cash.

That's what GoBTC Pay is.

This actually happened 👀

The Jacob & Co Epic X GoMining watch found its owner at Consensus Miami today and the moment they opened the box was unreal.

Wait until you see it. Congrats to the winner 🎉

Sharing a few moments from our GoMining GoClub event in Miami — a night we’ll remember for a long time.

We brought together an incredible group of builders, partners, and ecosystem leaders for an evening that felt full of purpose. From the first conversations on board, the energy was right: open, thoughtful, and genuinely fun.

It was one of those nights where people could step away from the usual pace, take in the Miami views, and connect in a more natural way.

Events like this matter because they create space for real conversations. Ideas move faster when people are in the same room, and that was exactly the feeling throughout the night.

We’re grateful to everyone who joined us, shared their time, and made the event what it was.

A few highlights from the evening below.

This clip gets into a model that keeps the keys with the holder, avoids bridges and conversions, and still opens the door to liquidity and BTC-native yield.

The part that matters most is how it stays entirely in Bitcoin while trying to solve a problem the industry has struggled with for years.
