Blockstream and STOKR Launch Blockstream Mining Note 2 (BMN2) Following BMN1 Success

Blockstream and Luxembourg-based digital asset marketplace STOKR are launching the Blockstream Mining Note 2 (BMN2), an EU-compliant hashrate-backed security token on the Liquid Network. 

The BMN2 builds on the success of BMN1, offering qualified non-U.S. investors exposure to Bitcoin mining without managing operations.

Success of BMN1

BMN1 achieved cash-on-cash returns of up to 108% over three years, generating an additional 325 Bitcoin. 

BMN1 will pay out over 1,200 Bitcoin to investors on Liquid. BMN1 investors can roll over to BMN2 with a 3% bonus in additional BMN2 securities.

BMN2 Details

Each BMN2 entitles holders to Bitcoin produced by 1 PH/s (petahash per second) of hashrate at Blockstream’s North American mining operations, with a hashprice of $61.64 per PH/s for a 48-month term. 

The primary offering began on July 18th, 2024, open to non-U.S. qualified investors with a minimum investment of $115,000 or $10,000 for professional investors, payable in BMN1, Bitcoin, LBTC, USDT, USD, or EUR. 

Mining operations are expected to start by September 2024.

BMN2 can be traded peer-to-peer and on secondary markets, offering greater flexibility and liquidity than traditional mining investments. 

BMN1 had an estimated trading volume of €18.23M over three years.

Expertise and Sustainability

BMN2 leverages Blockstream’s enterprise-grade North American mining facilities, trusted by clients like Fidelity and Foundry. 

It will use 72% wind power. Blockstream’s CEO Dr. Adam Back emphasized BMN2’s role in offering a secure and profitable investment vehicle.
