What Poolin does

Poolin, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Beijing, China, is a multi-cryptocurrency mining pool and integrated mining infrastructure platform serving individual miners, mining farm operators, and large-scale mining operations. The company's core product is its mining pool, which currently supports 15+ proof-of-work cryptocurrencies (BTC, LTC, ETC, ETHW, BCH, KAS, DASH, ZEC, DCR, DCRN, CKB, ZEN, ETH, HNS, STC) using FPPS and PPLNS payment methods, with a 4% FPPS fee on Bitcoin mining. The platform aggregates 2.63 EH/s of average Bitcoin hashrate across approximately 18,134 active BTC workers, with daily payouts processed between 2:00–8:00 UTC.

Beyond the pool, Poolin has built a horizontal ecosystem of adjacent products: the Poolin Miner Store, an ASIC miner marketplace offering new, used, and futures equipment with North American warehousing and logistics support; a proprietary immersion cooling solution for ASIC miners using dielectric fluid in stainless-steel tanks (claimed 10–20% overclocking capacity, 5% energy savings, 40% longer miner life, 60–70% lower maintenance, 90% noise reduction), paired with the exclusive Poolin Management Platform (PMP) software; a daily-updated Miner Ranking profitability comparison tool; a suite of mining calculators (historical, profitability, and mini); mobile applications for iOS and Android; and the Poolin Wallet (poolin.fi) for earnings management. Distribution is predominantly product-led and self-serve through poolin.com, with direct sales for enterprise immersion cooling deployments. The company raised $10M in February 2021 from FBG Capital, Fenbushi Capital, Hashkey Exchange, LedgerPrime, and Three Arrows Capital, and acquired NovaBlock in February 2021.

Poolin's revenue model is multi-stream: (1) transaction-based mining pool fees deducted from miner payouts, (2) marketplace commissions on ASIC miner transactions through the Miner Store, (3) hardware sales and project-based revenue from custom immersion cooling installations, and (4) professional services covering design, installation, deployment, and PMP onboarding. Geographic coverage is global with explicit sanctions-based restrictions (Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria), and a regional North America logistics footprint. The company is privately held with 11–50 employees and no public ownership disclosure.

Direct peers

• F2Pool: F2Pool is one of the largest multi-cryptocurrency mining pools globally, supporting BTC, LTC, ETHW, ETC and others with FPPS/PPS+ payouts. It directly competes with Poolin across the same multi-coin pool product and shared target market of professional and retail miners.
• AntPool: AntPool is the mining pool operated by Bitmain, the largest ASIC manufacturer, supporting BTC, BCH, LTC, ETC, ETHW and others with FPPS and PPLNS payouts. It competes head-to-head with Poolin's mining pool offering and has structural advantages through Bitmain's hardware ecosystem.
• ViaBTC: ViaBTC is a multi-coin mining pool established in 2016 supporting BTC, BCH, ETHW, LTC and other coins with PPS+ and PPLNS schemes. It directly competes with Poolin in the same Chinese-rooted multi-coin pool category with overlapping feature sets including calculators and mobile apps.
• BTC.com: BTC.com operates a leading BTC and multi-coin mining pool with a strong block explorer and miner tooling suite. It is a directly comparable pool+tools platform with similar fee structures and target segments to Poolin.
• Braiins (Slush Pool): Braiins operates Slush Pool, the first Bitcoin mining pool, and offers firmware and mining software tools for ASIC operators. It is a directly comparable mining pool and tooling provider competing with Poolin for miners' pool selection.

Broad incumbents

• Foundry Digital: Foundry Digital is the Digital Currency Group-affiliated mining pool and services provider operating one of the largest BTC pools in North America. It competes with Poolin on the BTC pool layer and offers broader institutional mining services and hosting, placing it as a broader incumbent.
• Bitmain: Bitmain is the world's largest ASIC manufacturer (Antminer line) and parent of AntPool. As the vertically integrated supplier of mining hardware plus a directly competing pool, Bitmain is a broader incumbent in the same ecosystem that Poolin's Miner Store and immersion cooling offerings intersect.
• Marathon Digital Holdings: Marathon Digital is a publicly listed Bitcoin mining operator running one of the largest fleets of ASICs in North America. While not a pool, its mining-fleet and immersion/hydro-cooling deployment makes it a relevant comparable for Poolin's industrial immersion cooling business line and large-scale mining operations segment.
• Riot Platforms: Riot Platforms is a publicly listed large-scale Bitcoin miner operating facilities with proprietary cooling and large hashrate fleets in Texas. It is a relevant broader comparable for Poolin's large-scale mining operations services and immersion cooling offerings at industrial scale.
• Canaan: Canaan is a publicly listed ASIC manufacturer (Avalon series) and cloud-mining operator. As a vertically integrated hardware-plus-mining supplier, it overlaps with Poolin's Miner Store hardware distribution and provides a broader incumbent reference point for the hardware/services side of the business.
