GoMining launches GoBTC Pay: a new standard for bitcoin payments
Mining company GoMining has introduced the GoBTC Pay payment service, which fundamentally changes the approach to using Bitcoin in commerce. This platform allows businesses to accept BTC payments with automatic conversion of funds into fiat currencies or stablecoins, relieving companies of the need to manage complex cryptocurrency infrastructure.
The service is aimed at companies working with international clients and is designed to realize Satoshi Nakamoto's original idea — turning Bitcoin from a passive asset into an active means of payment. As GoMining's CEO emphasizes, "Bitcoin was created to move value, not to sit idle in wallets."
Technical Foundation and Settlement Speed
GoBTC Pay uses GoMining's private mempool, built on the Stratum V2 protocol. This solution prioritizes the service's transactions, ensuring an average settlement window of about 12 hours. For on-chain transactions, this is an impressive metric that makes Bitcoin competitive even compared to some fiat systems.
The platform handles the entire processing cycle: from receiving payments to conversion and settlement with the merchant. Users can choose the format for receiving revenue — in Bitcoin, stablecoins, or national currencies, which is critically important for businesses operating in volatile markets.
Strategic Role in the Ecosystem
The launch of GoBTC Pay is a logical expansion of the GoMining ecosystem, which previously focused exclusively on mining services. Now the company not only mines Bitcoin but also creates infrastructure for its use, closing the cycle from production to consumption.
This step is particularly relevant amid growing competition in the crypto payments market. Giants like Jack Dorsey's Block (formerly Square) have already launched zero-fee Bitcoin payments for businesses in October 2025. GoMining enters this niche with a unique advantage — its own mining power, which allows minimizing transaction costs and guaranteeing priority processing.
My expert assessment: GoBTC Pay is not just another payment service. It is a signal that the mining industry is evolving from resource extraction to creating full-fledged financial products. If GoMining manages to scale this service, we may see a new trend where miners become key operators of Bitcoin's payment infrastructure, significantly increasing its utility in the real economy.
