GoMining launches GoBTC Pay: a new gateway for instant settlements on the Bitcoin network
The cryptocurrency payment market continues to evolve, and this time a major step has been taken by the mining company GoMining. It has introduced the GoBTC Pay platform — a solution that allows businesses to accept Bitcoin payments with automatic conversion of funds into fiat or stablecoins.
The service is aimed at companies working with international clients and is designed to simplify the use of the first cryptocurrency as a full-fledged payment tool. As GoMining's CEO emphasized, "Satoshi created Bitcoin not for it to just sit idle in wallets. It was designed to move value between people."
Technical Foundation and Settlement Speed
A key feature of GoBTC Pay is the use of GoMining's private mempool, built on the Stratum V2 protocol. This prioritizes the service's transactions and ensures an average settlement window of about 12 hours. For businesses, this means reliability and predictability in payment processing without the need to independently manage cryptocurrency infrastructure.
The platform handles the entire cycle: transaction processing, settlement operations, and conversion. Users can choose the format for receiving revenue — in Bitcoin, stablecoins, or national currencies.
Integration with the GoMining Ecosystem
The new service fits seamlessly into the GoMining ecosystem, which previously developed around mining services. The launch of the payment solution expands the scope of Bitcoin's application and creates additional use cases for ecosystem participants. This is a logical step in a market where crypto payments remain one of the most competitive segments of the industry.
Competitive Landscape and Prospects
Currently, both specialized crypto processing companies and traditional payment providers adding support for digital assets are vying for business attention. GoMining is betting on growing interest in international settlements and the development of Bitcoin infrastructure. Recall that in October 2025, Jack Dorsey's company Block already launched zero-fee Bitcoin payments for businesses within Square.
My analysis: GoBTC Pay is not just another payment gateway. Integration with its own mining pool and the Stratum V2 protocol gives GoMining a unique competitive advantage in transaction processing speed and reliability. If the company can scale this solution and attract major corporate clients, we will see a significant shift in the use of Bitcoin as a means of payment, not just as a store of value.
