In the world of alternative investments, returns aren’t defined solely by market performance, they are shaped by the tax code. The difference between an average allocation and an exceptional one often comes down to how efficiently an investment is structured.
Bitcoin mining is no exception. For high-net-worth individuals, family offices, and institutional allocators, mining represents more than a bet on digital assets, it is an infrastructure-backed yield strategy with unique tax advantages. With the passage of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) in 2025, investors now have unprecedented opportunities to accelerate cost recovery and reduce tax exposure.
Download the Investor’s Guide: Bitcoin Mining Tax Strategy 2025 to explore these opportunities in greater depth.
When structured correctly as a business, Bitcoin mining allows investors to tap into deductions and accelerated cost recovery not available in traditional digital asset investments.
Key advantages include:
The result is a powerful alignment of infrastructure, yield, and tax efficiency, turning Bitcoin mining into one of the most tax-advantaged asset classes available today.
Entity structure determines whether these tax benefits can be fully realized.
For W-2 employees, forming an LLC is critical, without it, the IRS may classify mining as a hobby, denying deductions. For 1099 contractors, mining integrates more seamlessly into existing business structures but still benefits from a dedicated LLC for clarity and liability protection.
Entity formation isn’t just about legal compliance, it’s the multiplier that transforms deductions into long-term after-tax yield.
The IRS draws a firm line between active trade or business activities and passive or hobby income. Passive activities cannot offset other income streams, a costly mistake for high earners.
To qualify mining as an active business, investors must demonstrate material participation. This can include:
Failing this test means deductions for electricity, hosting, and depreciation may be disallowed.
