On February 13, 2026, following the results of Vote #13, Minto allocated 5 BTC from the Treasury to purchase new miners and increase the current $BTCMT staking yield by 5% per annum.
Thanks to the project community's timely decision, we seized a window of opportunity to acquire mining equipment at the most favorable prices while also supporting Minto ecosystem participants during a challenging market period.
As a result of connecting the first batch of purchased equipment on March 7, 2026, Minto's hashrate reached a record 505,000 TH/s, adding 73,000 TH/s (+17%).
The project's Average Energy Efficiency (AAE) improved from 29 W/TH to 26 W/TH, while Customer Energy Efficiency (CEE) increased from 26 W/TH to 24 W/TH.
This means that through improved energy efficiency parameters alone, Minto's client profitability grew by 8.3%, and the Treasury accumulation rate increased by 11.5% (or ~30% when accounting for hashrate growth).
Minto reaching and exceeding the 0.5 EH/s threshold is a milestone moment in the project's history. Yet we remain focused on reducing the production cost of each Bitcoin — our growth entails not just increased computing power but continuous infrastructural improvement.
Thanks to building our BTC reserve, the project has become more resilient to strong market fluctuations, giving us the necessary freedom in decision-making to grow in any market phase. Together with the community, we make responsible investment decisions independent of general trends. For example, we buy mining equipment at a profit when everyone is selling, and vice versa; we increase mining profitability when it's declining for the vast majority of mining companies.
The Minto team once again thanks our community for making important decisions aimed at project development. The market changes, but our strategy remains independent of these changes — you earn Bitcoin income while we ensure the best possible efficiency in digital gold mining.
Stay with Minto to earn even more when the market surges upward again!
