How does the BMN fit within Blockstream’s Bitcoin philosophy?
We believe all Bitcoin holders, investors, and businesses should play an active role in mining to help maintain the Bitcoin network's decentralization. The BMN brings us a step closer to this goal by removing the high entry barriers to mining and expanding participation in Bitcoin’s proof-of-work.

1.
A qualified investor purchases a specific amount of BMN tokens.
2.
The BMN mines BTC using its associated hashrate a specific amount of BMN tokens.
