The short answer: for most Swedish companies, mining is the smartest option. But not in the way you might think. <\/p>\n\n
Let’s start with direct purchases.<\/p>\n\n
Buying Bitcoin on an exchange is simple. You pay market price, the Bitcoin ends up in your wallet, and you are exposed. The problem from a corporate perspective is that you purchase with unrestricted equity, meaning you have already paid 20.6 percent in corporate tax on the funds before they are invested (Skatteverket, corporate tax<\/a>). Add brokerage fees and charges, and you are immediately down 25 percent before the asset has even moved a single krona. <\/p>\n\n That is a significant handicap from the start.<\/p>\n\n Mining via server rental works differently.<\/p>\n\n Vostroblock leases servers that are placed in our server hall in J\u00e4mtland, powered by 100 percent renewable energy. The servers mine Bitcoin for your company. The rental is accounted for as an operating expense, meaning the entire expenditure is tax-deductible before corporate tax. This provides an immediate tax advantage of 20.6 percent compared to a direct purchase. <\/p>\n\n The Bitcoin extracted is accounted for as an intangible asset in the company, in accordance with the Swedish Accounting Standards Board’s guidelines and the Swedish Tax Agency’s regulations (Bokf\u00f6ringsn\u00e4mnden, IFRIC\/IAS 38<\/a>; H\u00f6gsta f\u00f6rvaltningsdomstolen<\/a>). You own Bitcoin, you have full insight into the mining process via your own account, and the asset is tradable from day one. <\/p>\n\n The actual cost of entry is therefore significantly lower than it appears on the surface, precisely because you utilize existing operating expenses instead of taxed capital.<\/p>\n\n As mentioned, conventional large-scale mining is not for everyone. It requires hardware, technical expertise, and access to cheap electricity. With Vostroblock, you do not need to worry about any of that. You pay a monthly fee, and everything from procurement and installation to operation, support, and monitoring is handled by us, with Bitcoin landing directly in your wallet. <\/p>\n\n For a company seeking Bitcoin exposure in a tax-optimal and practical manner, this offers a different approach to capital allocation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The short answer: for most Swedish companies, mining is the smartest option.
