The Industry Challenge

The bitcoin mining industry is at a crossroads. As mining equipment becomes more powerful and energy-intensive, traditional air-cooling methods are struggling to keep pace. NFN8, a veteran institutional bitcoin miner established in 2017, has identified immersion cooling technology as the solution—and they’re offering investors a unique opportunity to participate in this infrastructure evolution.

Why Immersion Cooling Matters

Traditional bitcoin mining facilities use air-cooling systems with hot and cold aisles to manage heat. But as next-generation mining equipment increases in power density, these older cooling methods become costly and inefficient. Immersion cooling—where mining equipment is submerged directly in specialized cooling fluid—delivers stability, scalability, and energy savings that air-cooled systems simply cannot match.

This isn’t just a marginal improvement. Immersion cooling represents a fundamental shift in how institutional miners can operate at scale while controlling costs and maximizing uptime.

The Joint Venture Structure

NFN8’s Immersion Ventures offering combines two revenue streams for investors. Each investment unit is $100,000 (with a $3.6MM investment total) and includes:

Sale-Leaseback Component ($1.8M)

• 20% annualized returns paid quarterly over 4 years
• Equipment repurchase at end of lease term
• Cash flow begins within 120 days of fund closure
• Quarterly payments of $90,000 ($2,500 per unit for 36 units)

Joint Venture Mining Revenue ($1.8M)

• Direct participation in bitcoin mining operations
• 70/30 investor-preferred split on mining revenue
• Quarterly distributions beginning 4-6 months after funding
• 75% of mined bitcoin sold monthly for consistent cash flow
• 25% held long-term, distributed at end of 4-year term

The Operational Advantage

NFN8 brings serious credentials to the table. Since 2017, they’ve generated over $40 million in mining revenue and have navigated multiple bitcoin market cycles. Their expertise spans site selection, infrastructure development, power contract negotiation, and operational management.

For this venture, they’ve secured:

• Fixed electricity rate of $0.06/kWh for 4 years
• 320 ASIC miners per module generating approximately 140 petahash per second
• 4-year hosting agreements for predictable operating costs
• Institutional-grade 3-megawatt facilities

The Numbers: Conservative to Optimistic Scenarios

NFN8’s projections use revenue per terahash calculations based on four key variables: block rewards (currently 3.125 BTC), network hash rate, blocks mined per day, and bitcoin price.

For a $100,000 Investment (One Unit): (You can purchase multiple units)

Sale-Leaseback Component ($50,000):

• Quarterly payments: $2,500
• Annual payments: $10,000 (20% annualized)
• Total 4-year lease payments: $40,000
• End-of-lease repurchase: $50,000
• Total sale-leaseback return: $90,000

Joint Venture Mining Component ($50,000):

• Base scenario: $7,498 per quarter ($29,992 annually)
• Average scenario: $13,743 per quarter ($54,972 annually)
• Upside scenario: $19,988 per quarter ($79,952 annually)

Combined Annual Returns (per $100,000 unit):

• Base case: $39,992 (40% annual return)
• Average case: $64,972 (65% annual return)
• Upside case: $89,952 (90% annual return)

Projected 4-Year Total Returns:

• Base case: Approximately $170,000 (170% total ROI)
• Average case: Approximately $270,000 (270% total ROI)
• Upside case: Approximately $370,000 (370% total ROI)

Note: These projections include the sale-leaseback repurchase at end of term and assume participation in the 25% bitcoin hold program. Actual returns will vary based on bitcoin price, network hash rate, and operational performance.

These projections account for the realities of bitcoin mining—network difficulty adjustments, halving events, and price volatility—while maintaining conservative baseline assumptions.

Weathering the Halving Cycle

One of the most impressive aspects of NFN8’s track record is their ability to navigate bitcoin’s halving cycles. Every four years, the block reward gets cut in half (most recently dropping from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC in 2024). Many mining operations fail during these transitions.

NFN8’s approach combines:

• Multi-asset mining capability (switching between cryptocurrencies based on profitability)
• Proprietary hedging platforms
• Enterprise-scale cost advantages
• Long-term fixed power contracts that protect against energy price volatility

The immersion cooling technology provides an additional edge: improved efficiency means lower operating costs per bitcoin mined, which becomes critical when revenues compress during halving events.

Risk Mitigation Strategy

No investment is without risk, and NFN8 is transparent about the challenges:

• Bitcoin volatility: Conservative revenue projections build in downside protection
• Regulatory considerations: Focus on jurisdictions with pro-mining policies
• Energy cost control: Long-term fixed-rate power contracts reduce exposure
• Operational security: Continuous performance monitoring and analytics

The disclaimer materials make clear that equipment ownership poses financial risk, and investors could lose some or all of their investment. This is not a guaranteed return. However, NFN8’s proven track record of generating over $40 million in mining revenue since 2017 and successfully navigating multiple market cycles demonstrates their ability to operate profitably through both bull and bear markets.

Tax Considerations

The joint venture structure offers potential tax advantages. Investors may capture approximately $35,000 in depreciation benefits in the first year of the JV for every $100,000 unit invested (representing 70% of the investment of the sale/leaseback portion).

NFN8 emphasizes that investors should consult with licensed tax professionals to determine appropriate individual treatment, as tax situations vary.

The Timeline

From initial funding to revenue generation:

• Days 1-30: Finalize hosting agreements and capital contributions
• Days 30-90: Equipment procurement and insurance
• Day 120: Sale-leaseback cash flow begins
• Months 4-6: Mining operations launch, JV distributions begin
• Quarterly: Ongoing distributions from both revenue streams
• Year 4: Final distribution including held bitcoin and equipment repurchase

Who This Opportunity Is For

This investment is structured for accredited investors who understand the bitcoin mining industry and are comfortable with:

• Capital commitments with 4-year timelines
• Quarterly liquidity rather than daily tradability
• Technology infrastructure investments

The $100,000 per-unit minimum (with a 36-unit offering totaling $3.6M) positions this as an institutional-grade opportunity rather than a retail investment.

The Bigger Picture: The Next Generation of Bitcoin Mining Infrastructure

NFN8’s transition to immersion cooling represents more than just an equipment upgrade. It’s a bet on the future of bitcoin mining infrastructure—one that prioritizes efficiency, scalability, and operational control in an industry that’s rapidly maturing.

As traditional air-cooled facilities struggle with rising energy demands and heat management challenges, immersion cooling offers a pathway to remain competitive through future halving cycles and network difficulty increases.

For investors seeking exposure to bitcoin mining without the operational complexity of running their own facilities, NFN8’s joint venture structure provides professional management, institutional-scale advantages, and dual revenue streams.

The Accredited Investor Advantage

As an accredited investor, you have access to opportunities that simply aren’t available to the general public—and for good reason. These investments often carry higher risk, require larger capital commitments, and demand a sophisticated understanding of the asset class. But they also offer the potential for returns that dwarf what’s available in traditional public markets. 

NFN8’s immersion cooling venture exemplifies this dynamic: projected annual returns of 30% to 80% with a 4-year total ROI ranging from 170% to 370%. Compare that to the historical average stock market return of roughly 10% annually, and you can see why qualified investors are increasingly looking beyond traditional portfolios. The combination of quarterly cash flow, professional operational management, cutting-edge technology infrastructure, and exposure to bitcoin’s long-term growth potential creates a unique value proposition. While past performance doesn’t guarantee future results, NFN8’s eight-year track record of profitability through multiple bitcoin cycles provides a level of operational confidence that’s rare in this emerging industry. 

This is the kind of asymmetric opportunity—substantial upside potential with mitigated downside through professional management and diversified revenue streams—that makes alternative investments compelling for those who qualify.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the minimum investment amount?

A: The investment is structured in units of $100,000 each. Investors can participate with multiple units for increased rewards.

Q: When do distributions begin?

A: Sale-leaseback payments begin within 120 days of fund closure and are paid quarterly. Joint venture mining distributions begin 4-6 months after funding, once mining operations are fully operational, and are also paid quarterly.

Q: What happens to the bitcoin that’s held rather than sold?

A: The JV holds 25% of all mined bitcoin until the end of the 4-year term, based on the thesis that bitcoin’s value will appreciate significantly over time. At the end of the term, this held bitcoin is distributed to investors in USD unless they specifically request a bitcoin-to-bitcoin transfer. Investors can opt out of the 25% hold program before the first quarterly payment if they prefer to receive full quarterly distributions.

Q: How does immersion cooling improve mining efficiency?

A: Immersion cooling submerges mining equipment directly in specialized cooling fluid, which is far more efficient at heat transfer than air. This results in more stable operating temperatures, reduced energy consumption for cooling, extended equipment lifespan, and the ability to overclock miners safely for increased hash rate performance.

Q: What happens if bitcoin’s price drops significantly?

A: NFN8’s projections use conservative baseline scenarios to account for price volatility. The sale-leaseback component provides fixed quarterly payments regardless of bitcoin price movements. The JV mining revenue will fluctuate with bitcoin price, but the long-term fixed electricity rate of $0.06/kWh provides cost stability that helps maintain profitability even during down markets.

Q: Can I visit the mining facilities?

A: Yes. I’m happy to facilitate an introduction so we can schedule a site visit to our current data center in Taylor, TX.
