Over a 30-Year Career a $250k per year earner will pay ~$1.7 million in Federal Income Tax.
If the tax bill were instead re-directed into an asset with a 20% CAGR, that would accrue to ~$67 million over the 30-year period.
A $67 million opportunity cost is too high to ignore.
At a minimum, it warrants learning more about the various tax strategies that are available.
Join Blockware and Securus to learn how you can convert an income tax bill into Bitcoin miners.
It's 100% free to attend. ๐
Someone earning $250,000/year will pay ~$1.7 million in federal income tax across a 30 year career
If that were instead re-invested into an asset with a 20% CAGR, they'd accumulate $67 million in assets
$67 million
That's your opportunity cost
We have 2 more months of Bitcoin winter before the bull run to end all bull runs
Max pain is now
Your time to stack BTC under $100k is running out
This afternoon iโll be uploading a video to my YouTube channel breaking it all down ๐

"Time to Buy Bitcoin Miners?" w/ @MitchellAskew
We discuss:
โขย Variables that drive mining profitability
โข When to buy miners instead of bitcoin
โขย How the AI craze could improve bitcoin mining profitability

Borrowing fiat to go long Bitcoin is the ultimate expression of the "speculative attack"
This is how @saylor grew @Strategy from a $1 billion company to a $50 billion company ๐งต
The challenge for the average person is that you don't have access to the same lines of credit that Saylor does
I don't know of any exchanges that let you directly buy Bitcoin with a credit card
You can, however, buy (or rent) Bitcoin Miners from @Blockware and pay with a credit card
- Short Fiat
- Accumulate BTC Daily
- Lower Taxable Income w/ 100% depreciation
You can take it one step further by using a revolving door of 0% "introductory rate" cards to kick your principle payment down the road
@sunny051488 has done a great job documenting his implementation of a similar strategy
The idea is really simple:
- Zero capital out of pocket
- Inflation devalues the real debt burden
- BTC compounds over a long period of time
- Miners qualify for year 1 tax savings which can then be used to buy even more BTC
Let's take it one step further.
Here's how Bitcoin-backed credit could have a LOWER interest rate than US Treasuries (inflation-backed credit) ๐งต๐
Same scenario.
$500k house.
$100k down.
$400k mortgage.
$400k of BTC posted as collateral (~5.4 BTC).
Except...
the borrower pledges a certain % of the collateral to the lender at the end of the loan.
Call it 6%
For example:
(imagine this structure on a 30-year mortgage)
What's Bitcoin's CAGR on a 30-year time frame?
Let's be conservative and say 10%.
At $74k today, if BTC CAGRs 10% per year for 30 years, 1 BTC = ~$1,290,000.
The 5.4 BTC posted as collateral would be worth ~$7,000,000.
More than 17x the original loan principal.
The borrower pledges 6% of that to the lender at loan end.
6% of $7,000,000 = $420,000.
That's enough compensation for the lender to offer a lower interest rate than the "risk free" Treasury rate of 4.5%.
The lender gets upside on BTC / inflation protection.
The borrower gets cheap financing (as they should for posting pristine collateral).
Imagine a Bitcoin-backed mortgage at 2%:
2% (Bitcoin mortgage) โ ~$1,480/month
7% (conventional) โ ~$2,100/month
The borrower saves ~$620/month.
Take those savings and buy more BTC every month.
$620/month into BTC for 30 years at 10% CAGR = ~$1.3M in additional stack.
The participation "cost" them $420,000.
They're up $880k over 30 years vs. taking a conventional mortgage.
They paid a lower rate AND stacked more Bitcoin because of it.
The lender beats inflation.
The borrower makes their dream home affordable without having to sell their Bitcoin.
Pristine collateral. Pristine credit.
The possibilities are endless.
Imagine this
$500k house
$100k down
$400k mortgage
$400k worth of BTC posted as collateral.
Quantifiably lower risk for the lender because combined collateral value = loan value.
Can offer much lower interest rate for the buyer.
5 years pass.
Bitcoin doubles.
Loan principal paid down by $100k
Outstanding debt: $300k
Collateral value: $1.3m ($500k house + $800k of BTC)
Even less risk for the lender.
Variable rate lowers for the buyer.
Pristine collateral in action.
The top 50% of earners in the US paid $26,959 in income tax for 2025
$26,959 means nothing to a government with $39 trillion of debt
But it could be a real difference maker in the average person's portfolio
Imagine if that $26,959 wasn't sent to the IRS
Imagine instead that it's working capital
An extra $26,959 worth of hard assets producing income for you
That's what Bitcoin Mining & bonus depreciation can do for you
You can mine Bitcoin even if you're not a huge fan of Bitcoin itself.
No, I'm not being facetious.
Bitcoin Mining is a TAX MITIGATION strategy.
Every single machine you purchase can be fully deducted in Year 1 through Section 168(k) and Bonus Depreciation.
This means you can depreciate the cost of the machine against ACTIVE income (W2 workers, I'm looking at you).
Additionally, the electricity cost is a deductible business expense that can also be used to offset active income.
Every day the machines earn a "Bitcoin dividend." Me personally, I hold 100% of that. I'm long Bitcoin.
However, if Bitcoin's volatility doesn't fit your risk-appetite, you can still (and should) mine Bitcoin.
There are plenty of tools to mitigate BTC's volatility/risk:
- Sell BTC immediately upon receipt of your mining rewards
- "Rent out your machines" using @Blockware's "Rent Hash" product. This lets you pull forward future mining rewards, which you can then use to short-sell BTC.
- Allocate additional funds towards out-of-the-money puts on $IBIT or $MSTR to hedge downside risk.
Just because Bitcoin itself is novel, high-vol, and "risky", doesn't mean you have to forgo the best tax-mitigating tool in the tax code.
A married couple filing jointly with $200,000 in taxable income paid ~$35,160 to the IRS for the 2025 tax season
That's ~17% of their household income down the drain.
Zero returns. Zero QOL improvements.
Pure waste.
It doesn't have to be this way.
They can use Bonus Depreciation.
Purchase a qualifying asset and depreciate the entire cost in year 1 under Section 168(k).
Bitcoin Miners qualify.
- Buy $200,000 of Miners
- Lower Taxable Income by $200,000
- $0 of income tax
- Machines earn you Bitcoin every day
Why let capital go to waste when it could be earning you Bitcoin instead?
