About Us

Hashbranch empowers investors to mine Bitcoin with maximum profitability and transparency. Our platform helps each ASIC reach its full earning potential, supported by 24/7 monitoring and top-tier hosting.

Why We Started?

Hashbranch was founded by engineers and innovators who wanted to transform how mining services are delivered. We saw that

01

ASICs are often run in poor conditions or purchased at the wrong time.

02

Investors felt that there was an absence of transparent practices and dependable partners.

03

Facilities struggled with sales and client management on top of operations.

So, we built a platform that solves these challenges by giving investors instant access to mining hardware, contracts, and hosting. We also provide transparent metrics and streamlined operations that help facilities and clients succeed together.

Who Do We Serve?

Hashbranch serves individual investors, institutional funds, and hosting partners, delivering tailored support and actionable insights to ensure success at every stage of your mining journey.

Individual & Accredited Investors

What Drives Us?

Our Mission

To make every ASIC as profitable as possible throughout its lifespan while giving customers transparent and trusted access to Bitcoin mining.
