Blockware Solutions, a digital asset mining company, has announced the launch of a new service that will provide institutional investors with access to bitcoin mining hash rate. This service, called Blockware Hashrate, will allow institutions to gain exposure to bitcoin mining without having to purchase or operate their own mining equipment.

According to Blockware Solutions, Blockware Hashrate is the first fully integrated institutional bitcoin mining hash rate service. The service will provide institutions with a turnkey solution for deploying capital into bitcoin mining hash rate. Blockware Hashrate will handle all aspects of the mining operation, including procuring mining equipment, negotiating electricity rates, and managing the mining pool.

Institutions will be able to purchase hash rate from Blockware Hashrate in increments of 1 petahash per second (PH/s). The service will be available on a fully managed basis, with Blockware Hashrate handling all aspects of the mining operation. Institutions will also have the option to purchase hash rate and integrate it into their own mining operations.

Blockware Hashrate will initially be available to a limited number of institutions. The service is expected to be fully launched in the second quarter of 2023.

"We are excited to announce the launch of Blockware Hashrate, the first fully integrated institutional bitcoin mining hash rate service," said Blockware Solutions CEO Joe Thomas in a statement. "This service will provide institutions with a turnkey solution for deploying capital into bitcoin mining hash rate, without having to purchase or operate their own mining equipment."

"Blockware Hashrate is designed to meet the unique needs of institutional investors who are seeking a safe, regulated, and efficient way to gain exposure to bitcoin mining hash rate. We believe that this service will open up the bitcoin mining industry to a new class of investors."
