Rent a GPU with Bitcoin, and six other coins.
GPU Rent Hub rents dedicated bare-metal GPU servers by the week or the month and takes payment only in cryptocurrency: Bitcoin, Ethereum, USDT, USDC, Monero, Solana and Litecoin, with no identity verification, no card on file and no name on the invoice.
Prices are quoted in US dollars. Your coin converts once, at the spot rate fixed when the deposit first confirms, and everything after that is a dollar balance you spend down.
Which cryptocurrencies can you pay with?
Seven, and we run our own node for each one. That list has not changed since September 2023 and we do not intend to add coins we would have to route through a third-party processor.
- Network
- Bitcoin mainnet (bech32)
- Confirmations
- 1
- Typical credit
- 10–30 min
We wait for one confirmation, so a transaction sent with a sane fee is spendable balance inside half an hour. The coin most accounts fund with, and the one we accepted on day one in DFW-1.
- Network
- Ethereum mainnet
- Confirmations
- 12
- Typical credit
- ~3 min
Twelve blocks is about three minutes, faster than provisioning an 8-way node. Mainnet only. Ether sent over an L2 or a bridge lands at an address our node does not watch, and we cannot recover it.
- Network
- TRC-20 or ERC-20
- Confirmations
- 19
- Typical credit
- ~1 min
A stablecoin removes rate movement between the moment you press send and the moment we credit dollars. TRC-20 costs cents to move, which makes it the cheapest way to top up a small balance.
- Network
- ERC-20
- Confirmations
- 12
- Typical credit
- ~3 min
Credited 1:1 with no spread, same as USDT. ERC-20 only. USDC issued on Solana, Base or Arbitrum is a different token to our node, so check the network selector in your wallet before sending.
- Network
- Monero mainnet
- Confirmations
- 10
- Typical credit
- ~20 min
Our own node since February 2022, the most requested feature of our first year. Amounts and counterparties are not readable on chain, so the rental leaves no public trail. Details on the Monero GPU hosting page.
- Network
- Solana mainnet
- Confirmations
- 32
- Typical credit
- ~15 s
Thirty-two confirmations take about fifteen seconds, the shortest gap we offer between sending money and starting a job. Fees are a fraction of a cent.
- Network
- Litecoin mainnet
- Confirmations
- 6
- Typical credit
- ~15 min
Bitcoin's mechanics with lower fees and shorter blocks. Worth using when you are adding $50 to a balance and do not want a meaningful share of it going to miners.
How does paying for a GPU in crypto actually work?
Four steps, and only the first and last involve a blockchain. In between you are spending a dollar balance, which is why a rate crash on a Tuesday does not change what your instance costs on Wednesday.
Deposit
Pick a coin in the dashboard and you get a deposit address for it. For six of the seven coins that address is permanent and reusable; Monero gets a fresh subaddress per deposit, which is how Monero works. Addresses never expire, so the one you used in 2023 still works. Minimum $20 equivalent, because below that network fees eat too much of it.
Credit
At the confirmation count listed above we take the median spot rate from three large exchanges, convert once, and credit US dollars. Stablecoins go in 1:1. No deposit fee, no spread, no processing cut.
Rent
Provisioning draws the term price from the balance in one line. Weekly or monthly, single card or an 8-way node, in DFW-1 Dallas, IAD-1 Ashburn or PDX-1 Hillsboro. Add-ons are drawn the same way.
Renew or withdraw
Twenty-four hours before a term ends, the renewal price is drawn automatically. Anything you never spend leaves in the coin you deposited, to an address you give, within 24 hours.
Definition: crypto GPU hosting
Crypto GPU hosting is dedicated GPU server rental paid for with cryptocurrency instead of a card, wire or invoice. At GPU Rent Hub the coin is converted to a US dollar account balance at the spot rate fixed when the deposit first confirms; rent, add-ons and automatic renewals are drawn from that dollar balance; and any unspent balance can be withdrawn in the coin that was deposited. No bank account, billing address or identity document is involved at any stage.
Why are prices in USD if I pay in Bitcoin?
Because a GPU costs us the same in dollars whether Bitcoin is up or down this week. Power is contracted in dollars, the cages are leased in dollars, and the cards were bought in dollars. Quoting rent in BTC would mean repricing the catalogue every hour and arguing about which hour counted.
So the conversion happens exactly once, on the way in. If the coin you deposited doubles next month, your instance still costs what the catalogue says, and that upside was yours before you sent it. If it halves, the same holds in reverse. Customers who want neither outcome deposit USDT or USDC.
Fixed at first confirmation
The rate is stamped when the transaction reaches the confirmation count for its coin, not when you pressed send. It appears on the ledger entry next to the transaction hash.
No spread, either direction
Median of three large exchanges, used as-is. No payment processor sits between you and us taking a percentage, because we run the nodes ourselves.
Locked for the term
A running term keeps its price until it ends. Catalogue changes apply at your next renewal, and a rise is announced 7 days beforehand.
How much does it cost to rent a GPU with Bitcoin?
The same as renting it with anything else. These are catalogue prices for one dedicated card, drawn from your balance in a single line. The last column is the monthly price divided by 720 hours, for comparison against hourly clouds.
| GPU | Per week | Per month | Equivalent $/GPU-hour |
|---|---|---|---|
| B200180 GB HBM3e · 2-GPU minimum | $1,090 | $3,890/mo | $5.40 |
| H200 SXM141 GB HBM3e | $640 | $2,290/mo | $3.18 |
| H100 SXM80 GB HBM3 · NVLink | $475 | $1,690/mo | $2.35 |
| MI300X192 GB HBM3 · ROCm | $450 | $1,590/mo | $2.21 |
| A100 SXM80 GB HBM2e | $280 | $990/mo | $1.38 |
| L40S48 GB · FP8 | $148 | $520/mo | $0.72 |

| RTX 309024 GB · entry price | $65 | $230/mo | $0.32 |
What does a three-month H100 rental look like, end to end?
One deposit, three terms, one withdrawal. The BTC rate below is illustrative; the GPU and add-on prices are the real catalogue numbers.
| Step | Detail | Balance |
|---|---|---|
| Deposit | 0.0500 BTC sent to your permanent address. One confirmation, 14 minutes. Rate fixed at $104,000. | $5,200.00 |
| Provision | One H100 SXM 80 GB in IAD-1, monthly term, $1,690. Plus a 2 TB network volume at $14 per TB per month, $28. | $3,482.00 |
| Renewal 1 | Drawn automatically 24 hours before day 30. Same $1,718, same machine, no reprovisioning. | $1,764.00 |
| Renewal 2 | Day 60. Third term starts. Instance has not been touched since the first boot. | $46.00 |
| Withdraw | Term three runs out, you stop renewing, and the remainder goes back out in BTC minus the network fee. | $0.00 |
What are the rules on deposits, renewals and withdrawals?
All of them. There is no longer list somewhere else, and nothing here changes without notice on the status page first.
Minimum deposit $20
Twenty dollars equivalent in any of the seven coins. No maximum, no per-transaction limit, and balances never expire.
No deposit or withdrawal fee
Nothing to take your money in, nothing to give it back. The only cost either way is the network fee your transaction pays to miners or validators.
Rate fixed at first confirmation
Median of three large exchanges, stamped on the ledger entry beside the transaction hash. It does not move afterwards, in your favour or ours.
Auto-renewal 24 hours early
The renewal is drawn a day before the term ends, so a short balance is visible while there is still time to top up. Switchable off per instance.
72-hour grace period
If a renewal cannot be funded, the instance stops at term end and the slot is held for 72 hours. Top up and restart in place, disk untouched.
Withdraw in the coin you sent
Unused balance leaves as the asset it arrived as, to any address you specify, processed within 24 hours. We do not convert between coins on the way out.
No chargebacks, no freezes
Crypto settlement is final, which cuts both ways. We have never frozen a balance for a compliance review, because we have no department that reviews balances.
Invoices with no name on them
Every draw produces a plain-text invoice: number, date, instance ID, term, amount, and the transaction hash that funded it. No name field, because we never asked for one.
What does paying in crypto let you avoid?
A card payment carries a name, a billing address, a bank and a processor with its own risk rules. A crypto deposit carries a transaction hash. That is the whole difference, and it is why the payment method and the no-KYC policy are one decision rather than two.
An account here is a username and a password hash, a balance, a ledger of deposits and draws, and instance metadata. Nothing in that record could identify you if it leaked. The reasoning is on the no-KYC GPU hosting page; the limits are in the privacy policy.
Not accepted
Credit and debit cards, PayPal, bank wires, ACH, SEPA, gift cards, cash, and any coin outside the seven above. Adding a fiat rail would mean adding the identity checks attached to it, which is the one thing we will not do.
Also payable in crypto
Outright GPU purchases and colocation of hardware you already own, from the same balance in the same seven coins.
