GoMining launches GoBTC Pay: Bitcoin becomes a payment tool for businesses
Mining company GoMining has introduced a new payment service, GoBTC Pay, designed for businesses. The platform allows accepting payments in bitcoin with automatic conversion of funds into fiat currencies or stablecoins. This is a step towards transforming the first cryptocurrency from a store of value into an active settlement mechanism.
Almost two decades ago, they told you to lock it away. To treat Bitcoin like gold that never moves. But the scripture said cash.

Today the prophecy is fulfilled. GoBTC Pay integration toolkit is live — on-chain settlement, next block, mined by our own network.

The service is aimed at companies with international clients seeking to simplify the use of bitcoin in settlements. The CEO of GoMining emphasized: "Satoshi created bitcoin not for it to just sit idle in wallets. It was designed to move value between people." This statement reflects the company's strategy — to bring bitcoin out of passive storage into active circulation.
Focus on Bitcoin Settlements
GoBTC Pay relieves businesses from the need to independently manage cryptocurrency infrastructure. The platform handles transaction processing, settlement operations, and conversion. Users can choose the format for receiving revenue: in bitcoin, stablecoins, or national currencies. A key feature is its operation based on GoMining's private mempool, built on the Stratum V2 protocol. This ensures priority processing of the service's transactions with an average settlement time of about 12 hours.
Integration with the GoMining Ecosystem
The new service has become part of the GoMining ecosystem, previously focused on mining services. The company expects that the launch of the payment solution will expand the scope of bitcoin's application and create additional use cases for ecosystem participants. This is a logical step: a mining company is using its computing power to accelerate and optimize payments.
Competition in the Crypto Payments Market
The cryptocurrency payments market remains one of the most competitive in the industry. Specialized crypto processing companies and traditional payment providers adding support for digital assets are vying for business attention. GoMining is confident that growing interest in international settlements and the development of bitcoin infrastructure will contribute to the further spread of crypto payments among corporate clients. Notably, in October 2025, Jack Dorsey's company Block launched zero-fee bitcoin payments for businesses as part of the Square service. GoMining is choosing a different path — betting on its own mining and private mempool, which increases the speed and reliability of settlements.
My comment: GoBTC Pay is not just another payment service, but an attempt to integrate mining into the real economy. The use of a private mempool and Stratum V2 provides a competitive advantage in speed, but raises questions about decentralization. However, for businesses that need predictability, this could be a decisive factor. The crypto payments market is moving from experiments to practical solutions, and GoMining is clearly aiming to carve out its niche.
