Path A: Direct BTC Purchase (Price Speculation)
For 600,000 CZK, you buy Bitcoin at the current market price (approx. $81,000). This adds approximately 0.32 BTC to your wallet.
- Scenario after 2 years: The price has reached $150,000. The value of your 0.32 BTC is now approximately 1,100,000 CZK.
- The "Holding Period" Problem: In the Czech Republic, a three-year "time test" applies for income tax exemption on cryptocurrencies. Since you want to sell after only 2 years (at the peak of the cycle), you must declare your profit to the state.
- Tax Impact: Your profit is 500,000 CZK (1,100,000 - 600,000).
- At a 15% tax rate, you will pay 75,000 CZK to the state.
- However, if your total annual taxable income exceeds 36 times the average wage (the threshold for 2026 is around 1.6 million CZK), the amount above this limit is subject to a 23% tax. In this case, the tax on your profit could climb as high as 115,000 CZK.
- Net Result: After taxes, you take home approximately 985,000 to 1,025,000 CZK.
Path B: Purchasing 3x Z15 Pro Miners (Asset Production)
Instead of buying coins directly, you purchase three Antminer Z15 Pro machines under 2Bminer hosting. These machines immediately start "manufacturing" Bitcoin for you.
- Average monthly yield: Based on real data from January–May 2026, a single machine generates a net profit of approximately 11,600 CZK per month (based on data from early May, this is significantly higher). Your mini-fleet of 3 machines earns an average of 34,800 CZK per monthat the current Bitcoin price.
- Production Over Time: Over 2 years of operation, the machines will produce a value of approximately 835,200 CZK. However, as the price of BTC rises toward $150,000, the value of your continuously mined coins will increase much more significantly than a static purchase.
- Tax Efficiency (Depreciation): As a miner (entrepreneur/company), you can write off the purchase of the machines (600,000 CZK) as an expense. This expenditure directly reduces your tax base. While the investor in Path A is taxed on their gross profit, you are only taxed on what you earn above the cost of the hardware and energy.
- Residual Value: After 2 years, you still own the hardware, which maintains high value during a bull market.
- Net Result: When accounting for the continuously mined Bitcoin (which has increased in value over time), the residual value of the machines, and after deducting a 15% tax (which, thanks to depreciation, you only pay on the actual profit exceeding your initial investment), you take home approximately 1,120,000 to 1,280,000 CZK. Additionally, you are left with the hardware, which either continues to mine for you or can be easily sold on our Marketplace.
Comparison: Who Wins?
| Parameter | Direct Purchase (0.32 BTC) | Mining (3x Z15 Pro) |
| Initial Investment | 600,000 CZK | 600,000 CZK |
| Tax Deductibility | No (only purchase price) | Yes (full machine depreciation) |
| Time Test (3 years) | Required for 0% tax | Does not apply to ongoing profit |
| Selling after 2 years | Pay 15% or 23% tax | Tax only profit exceeding costs |
| What you are left with | Cash from sale only | Mined amount + Hardware |

The Verdict and the Power of the Marketplace
Path A (Buying) is great for passive holders who know they won't touch their funds for at least 3 years. However, if you want to react to the market and sell earlier, the state will take a significant bite out of your pie.
Path B (Mining) is the path of the active investor. It has one huge advantage that is rarely discussed: Hardware Liquidity. During a bull market, when the price of Bitcoin skyrockets, there is an enormous demand for mining rigs. Thanks to our 2Bminer Marketplace, you can sell your machines to other interested parties very quickly and at attractive prices. With a well-timed purchase, you can recover a substantial portion of the original purchase price of the machine.
Although the Marketplace offers an excellent exit strategy for realizing quick profits from hardware sales, our recommendation is clear: Keep mining. Given the high yield and efficiency the Z15 Pro model is demonstrating in 2026, it is a "money machine" that is well worth keeping in operation.
At 2Bminer, we don't just help you mine—we help you understand how to build a digital asset portfolio that makes sense, even to your accountant.
