Cryptozyme hit the digital currency and mining industry in 2022. The decline in profitability affected all participants in mining. Not only corporate and private miners were affected, but also equipment manufacturers. As a rule, during such seasons the demand for it decreases. In response, factories reduce prices for devices. Therefore, recessionary periods provide opportunities to increase technical potential. This factor was taken advantage of by a large customer of IBMM in early 2023.
Nearly $5 million worth of asics delivered
The customer chose the leader in PoW mining – the crypto coin Bitcoin – for mining. The team needed to provide an industrial volume of equipment – 2 thousand units.
IBMM Technology employees helped to select the most efficient model. It turned out to be Whatsminer M50 by MicroBT. The main characteristics of the device:
- Produced since 2022.
- Supports mining on the SHA-256 algorithm – among them Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and Litecoin Cash coins.
- Base hash rate (depending on the configuration) – 118 and 120 TH/s.
- Power consumption – 3306 W/h.
- Air-type cooling.
- Cost – ₽123,994.
At the stage of preparation for purchase, it is important to calculate the profitability of the equipment. IBMM was one of the first in the country to launch a mining calculator. It can be found on the company’s website. For the current bulk order, the results were as follows:
- Thetotal hash rate of a farm of 2 thousand miners is 238 thousand TH/s. Translated into petahesh, the total performance of the devices is 238 PH/s.
- Monthly mining – 18.9 BTC.
- The indicator for 1 year is 226.8 BTC.
- The monetary equivalent excluding costs at the BTC exchange rate of $29 thousand is $6.58 million or 523,557,367 rubles.
- Hosting costs, including electricity costs of 4 rubles/kWh – 231, 01 million rubles.
- Payback period – 18 months.
Delivering a large batch is not an easy task. On the one hand, the customer needed to receive the equipment as soon as possible. On the other hand, only the manufacturer could provide such a large number of miners. Therefore, the delivery was made from the warehouse of the factory in China. IBMM, as in the case of any order from 1 to 100 thousand units, provided a full cycle of movement:
- Selection of the fastest transportation option – road, air or combined.
- Customs clearance when the shipment arrives from abroad.
- Inspection of the received equipment.
- Shipment to the end customer.
The fastest option for delivery of this large shipment was transmodal transportation using heavy-duty trucks. In 14 days after the order was placed by the customer, it arrived from China to the IBMM Technology warehouse in Moscow. During this time 26 tons of equipment crossed 2 borders, including the transit country.

The order was placed with partial prepayment – its amount amount amounted to 50%. As agreed, the second half was paid before the final shipment from the IBMM warehouse. The total value of the shipment amounted to $4.8 million.
This order allowed the company to break its own record. 4 months before it – in November 2022 – IBMM had delivered 200 miners of the same model Whatsminer M50 for 33 million rubles. The execution period amounted to only 16 days.
