PMN 101：A Step-by-Step Guide

Over the past few months, many investors have asked us a simple question:

“I believe in Bitcoin, but buying and holding coins feels speculative. Is there a smarter, safer way to accumulate BTC over time?”

That’s exactly why we built Pivotal Mining Note (PMN) – a regulated, hashpower-backed security token designed to let qualified investors participate in Bitcoin production itself. Instead of trying to time the market, PMN gives you access to real mining operations, institutional-grade infrastructure, and transparent returns.

This article walks you through, step by step, how PMN works and how you can participate – from signing up to ultimately receiving your Bitcoin.

Step 1 – Understand What PMN Is

PMN represents a 3-year Bitcoin mining participation agreement, tokenized on the blockchain for transparency and transferability.

By purchasing PMN, you’re effectively reserving a share of real mining power managed by professionals. Instead of just buying BTC on an exchange, you’re plugged directly into the source of Bitcoin’s supply.

Think of it as upgrading from “buying the fish” to “owning part of the fishing boat.”

Step 2 – Choose a Compliant Entry Point

PMN is issued under U.S. securities regulations (Reg D and Reg S) through licensed platforms such as Republic and INX.

• Reg D (U.S. accredited investors): Minimum 200 PMN (~USD 14,000)

• Reg S (Non-U.S. investors): Minimum 30 PMN (~USD 2,100)

Participation is straightforward:

1. Register on the platform.

2. Complete KYC/AML verification for investor compliance.

3. Select your payment option:

   
   

   • USD wire transfer (standard option)

   • USDC/USDT stablecoins (on supported blockchains)

   • BTC (where permitted by platform rules)

   
   

4. Secure your allocation before the round closes.

This process ensures both regulatory compliance and flexible payment methods for investors worldwide.

Step 3 – How Your Capital Works

When you buy PMN, the price already covers all costs for the entire 3-year term:

• Hashpower supply

• Electricity and hosting

• Operational management and maintenance

• Custody services and distribution fees

There are no hidden fees and no extra charges later.

Your role is simply to invest once, and then watch your BTC accumulation progress via your personal dashboard.

This is designed to be a hassle-free, institutional-grade Bitcoin accumulation plan.

Step 4 – How BTC Returns Are Generated and Distributed

1. Mining Operations: The reserved hashpower generates new Bitcoin daily over 36 months.

2. Custody: All mined BTC is held securely by a regulated third-party custodian, minimizing the risk of company mismanagement or loss.

3. Transfer Agent Distribution: At the end of the 3-year term, a licensed Transfer Agent distributes your proportional share of accumulated BTC directly to you.

4. Transparency: Independent third-party audit reports are published, verifying the total Bitcoin produced and held.

This design ensures that you always know:

• How much Bitcoin was mined

• Where it is held

• How it is distributed

All under the oversight of licensed entities.

Step 5 – Optional Secondary Market Liquidity & Dashboard Access

Once your investment is confirmed and compliance checks are completed:

1. PMN Token Issuance:

   
   

   • You will receive PMN tokens on the Ethereum blockchain, fully compliant with the ERC-1404 security token standard. also compliant with ERC-20.

   • These tokens represent your legal rights under the PMN offering.

   • Delivery is made to your whitelisted wallet address (provided during onboarding).

   
   

2. Dashboard Access:

   
   

   • After receiving PMN, you can register on Pivotal’s investor portal.

   • Your dashboard will show:

     
     

     • Your PMN token balance

     • Updates on total Bitcoin accumulation

     • Independent audit reports and operational updates

     
     
   
   

3. Optional Secondary Market Liquidity:

   
   

   • PMN may be transferable on regulated secondary markets (e.g., INX ATS) after applicable lock-up periods and regulatory rules are met.

   • Alternatively, you can hold PMN until maturity and receive BTC distribution.

   
   

This ensures that investors not only have a legal and digital proof of ownership but also full transparency and optional liquidity throughout the 3-year term.

Step 6 – Security and Risk Management

We designed PMN to remove many of the risks that individual investors face when trying to mine or hold Bitcoin themselves:

• All-inclusive pricing: Your PMN purchase already covers all 3-year costs – you only invest once.

• Custody Risk: BTC is never held by PTS directly; it’s managed by licensed custodians.

• Operational Risk: Institutional-grade facilities ensure uptime, efficiency, and transparency.

• Legal Risk: Fully compliant issuance under U.S. securities law.

• Audit Transparency: Independent verification of mining output and holdings.

Bitcoin price volatility is unavoidable – but PMN gives you a production-based, worry-free path that doesn’t rely on timing market swings.

PMN opens a new door to Bitcoin investing:
