To Pioneer Innovative Business Model Enabling SCRYPT Miners to Mine BTC, VolcMiner and NiceHash Forge Strategic Partnership
In September 2025, VolcMiner, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of cryptocurrency mining equipment, announced a strategic partnership with NiceHash, a Swiss-based hashrate marketplace established in 2014. The collaboration aims to support VolcMiner’s global user community, enhance mining asset liquidity and efficiency, and introduce an innovative business model that enables SCRYPT miners to mine Bitcoin (BTC).
Through this integration, VolcMiner users can effortlessly configure their miners to connect with NiceHash’s extensive and active marketplace. This connection allows SCRYPT algorithm miners—typically used for mining coins such as DOGE and LTC—to rent out their hashrate to global buyers on NiceHash. The key innovation lies in the payout system: miners will receive their earnings directly in Bitcoin (BTC), removing the need for manual conversions. In essence, this breakthrough allows SCRYPT miners to “mine BTC,” overcoming the long-standing technical limitation that previously restricted miners to specific algorithms and corresponding cryptocurrencies.
The core value of this collaboration lies in:
1.Significantly Enhanced Liquidity for VolcMiner Miners: NiceHash connects global buyers and sellers, providing a near real-time, highly liquid market for VolcMiner miners’ hashrate. Miners can respond more flexibly to market fluctuations, ensuring optimal returns for their computing power.
2. Diversified Revenue Streams: Users no longer need to concern themselves with which digital currency their hashrate ultimately mines or manage the exchange and handling of various altcoins. By connecting to NiceHash, all earnings for VolcMiner miners are automatically settled in BTC, the most widely accepted store of value in the crypto world, greatly simplifying asset management and monetization processes. According to official NiceHash calculations, the revenue per kilowatt-hour for VolcMiner miners is significantly higher than that of many SHA-256 ASIC miners, suggesting VolcMiner could be an ideal choice for miners focused on current profitability and long-term BTC accumulation.

3. Lowering Barriers and Risks for BTC Mining: For miners seeking BTC rewards but concerned about the risks of expensive ASIC miners becoming obsolete post-BTC halving events, acquiring BTC via more cost-effective SCRYPT miners is now possible. This approach helps mitigate the market volatility risk associated with ASIC miners, which are typically limited to mining a single coin.
Mingsen, Head of R&D of VolcMiner, stated: “We are thrilled to partner with an industry leader like NiceHash. This collaboration fully aligns with VolcMiner’s mission to create maximum value for our users. We are not only unlocking the value of miner but also pioneering a new, flexible way of mining. Our users can now participate in the BTC network more easily and efficiently, marking a significant step towards the democratization of cryptocurrency mining.”
Marko Tarman, Lead Mining Manager, commented: “We welcome VolcMiner and its community to the NiceHash ecosystem. VolcMiner is renowned for its high-quality hardware, and their users represent the kind of quality hashrate providers we value on our platform. This partnership enriches our hashrate supply and opens the door to the Bitcoin economy for SCRYPT miners, creating a win-win situation.”
The powerful alliance between VolcMiner and NiceHash is expected to significantly boost both parties’ influence in the global mining market and offer profound insights for the entire industry regarding the assetization of hashrate and innovation in revenue models.
