Is the bitcoin farm worth it? It is one of the most common questions asked of any content creator. I dug deep into the math to help you decide if spending 10s of millions of rubles on the bitcoin farm makes sense for you. We do a few projections, touch on the bigger benefits and issues with the bitcoin farm, and break down the complex math into simple thresholds for you to pick from.
The bitcoin farm in Escape From Tarkov is one of the more controversial modules in the hideout, and it ignites some pretty passionate debate. I’m here to provide some hard math and analytics to help you wade through the emotion. Battle State Games is constantly making changes to bitcoin and the bitcoin farm itself so it can be hard to keep track if it’s worth it or not.

Hey there. Just wanted to say great video, simple and to the point.
I recently made a similar spreadsheet because I was tired of discussing this with people who were saying everyone should max out bit coin farm and what not. The main point of my sheet was comparing bitcoin farm 2 and 3. My calcs used fuel as well as some numbers that are probably about a week or so old for so it won't be 100% accurate. But it comes out that you need ~123 days with bitcoin farm 3 in order for you to have made profit over simply having level 2 maxed out with cards. This takes into account of the difference in hours per coin of the two and uses that to see how many more coins you get with a level 3 vs level 2 and then uses this with price of btc to figure out the how much extra profit you need to pay for the extra price of upgrading solar panels, upgrading the bitcoin farm and the extra graphics cards. I do take into account the money saved on fuel due to solar panels as well.
I think this ties really well in with the discussion you had of what level farm is worth it for most people. Have you considered doing similar calculations to further expand on this topic?
I only do level 1 because I can't play enough for the farm to pay for itself if I upgrade it all the way. The farthest I've gone is level 42 a few wipes ago with a level 3 farm and that's when bitcoins were worth 900k plus. Nowadays they're capped and don't peak very high anymore so I just keep them from my level one farm until they go up over 280k. I sold 15 earlier this week and make millions it was nice. That's a lot of good loadouts paid for and the ability to quest without worrying about losing a ton of money
great video
Were you an accountant sir,,,
I dont think I even filled my farm last wipe, since I lost interest about the time I built it. Filling the farm this time to help with pics was a nice driver to fill it and just coast with the level one farm. Thanks for the videos, Airwing.
Before found in raid was a thing. I remember the wipe was coming soon so I sold all 50 graphics cards and had like 27mil. Then in some weeks or a month the prices tanked. I was set for the rest of the wipe (prices for thermals and T7s were a lot cheaper tho 🙁 )
Love the videos man. Like how succinct and easy you make everything to understand. God bless 👍
This is also completely passive income too
Just found a red keycard today and tried to trade it for 50 gpu’s but it wasn’t grouped and got scammed and only got 1 gpu for the red
awesome info, well presented! cheers!

i havent paid for a single gpu this wipe, i have 18 in my farm so i have been banking off that farm so far
trade big ticket items for gpus, I got 45 gps from 3 merin keys.
I'm pushing for that beezy farm right now. Man this game is addicting. Great content dude. Upload your raids er streams for us that don't go on twitch. Love game play. More ad revenue from YouTube any how.
I maxed out my L1 farm and looking at L2.
The way I look at it it’s definitely worth it because I do scav runs all the time And that’s free money
When a bitcoin was 600k-800k I would say bitcoin farm all day, but if you are an active player and don't have a bitcoin farm now, I wouldn't even bother. 260k every few days is nothing. You can blow that on just a gun build. Farm the GPU's and sell them while they are still hot.
tldr: not worth.
I want that I"f it's easy it ain't Tarkov" shirt
Sir, I need your shirt in a hoodie. I LOVE YOU
Love the Longines
so I shouldnt get or upgrade it this far in wipe ?
I laugh at the day profit., 500k roubles a day ? I can make that in a single scav run of 25min
Just maxed out my bitcoin farm, I recommend going for 50 cards. Soooo much money to be made since water collector pays for the fuel (you shouldn't buy fuel since it's so easy to find anyway) so it's running for free! When it comes to the farm "paying itself back", who cares? Just do scavs for like a day and boom you made all your money back!
Nice guide but… Where to get your shirt 😁
In my personal opinion, I'd tou aren't crafting other things while you have the bitcoin farm running, you're wasting money
I don't do level 3 or solar. My rationale: Obvious one is that I don't play much after 3 or 4 months into wipe, so I finally recoup my cost right around the time I quit. On top of that, even if I did play longer, I have to use budget kits way longer than I would if I just used that money to start running better kits earlier.
Building my first Bitcoin farm during my first wipe and I’m gonna be happy with one card in there lol
Of the 2 wipes i’ve been a part of i have ended up with millions in my stash unused. I’m going to consider the btc farm as an intermediary “collect money” task this wipe so that i can have more goals throughout the wipe. Goals that are less frustrating and allow me to feel accomplished during less productive money runs.
What this doesn't take into account is when you stuff a GPU up your butt, and frankly, you can't. But people who say "this is a good video", no it's not, because of how FIR items work and how the flea ties into this entire schematic. Airwing kindof addresses it here, but not really. At the time you get a FIR GPU, do you sell it, and do you make the profit off of it immediately and use that to further your investment into this wipe, or do you stuff it into your BTC farm and gain passive income? People who claim to be able to do the "math" off of all of the variables in this game are just ripping y'all off, thinking that their analysis is the same as yours and therefore you're "smart at this game". PIss off, you're just a bunch of nobodies.
Don't forget guys at the end of the day it's a video game.
Every Chad: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Its worth it 25 cards… u get 1 bitcoin per tank, proff 250k+ …. ofcourse 50 is gonna profit lol
No fuel calculations no views
is that a "real life" month or ingame months? Kinda confusing
so0 bottom line for me is, is it worth a 10 card farm for me at this point in the wipe i have 24 mil
Short answer: yes it is worth it. I stopped worrying about gear because my hideout makes me 1-2 mil a day. Lvl 3 bitcoin farm pays for itself in 2 weeks
