SmashFi and Sazmining turned idle BTC into fixed, sustainable BTC yield.

SmashFi had run every version of Bitcoin yield — derivatives, lending, staking incentives — and watched each one break or thin out. Mezzamine routed its capital into Sazmining's mining operations through risk-adjusted structured credit, turning idle Bitcoin into a fixed 9% BTC yield, paid in kind.

The first facility's 2 BTC of financing became 57 PH/s of deployed hashrate and mined more than the loan principal within four months — yield paid from real block production, not token incentives.

Mining is very capital intensive — you need the machines, the hosting, the infrastructure in place before a customer produces any Bitcoin. Before, we were constrained by our own balance sheet. And in mining, timing matters.
