Yes, if built early in wipe cycle (first 30-40 days). Bitcoin Farm remains one of the best passive income sources in Tarkov. With 25 GPUs and Solar Power, you generate 450,000-550,000₽ daily profit with minimal active effort. However, timing is critical—invest only when you have 60+ days minimum before next wipe to ensure profitability. Late-wipe investments rarely break even.

The optimal range is 10-25 GPUs for most players. With 10 GPUs, you break even in approximately 42 days with 5M₽ investment—excellent for budget-conscious players or uncertain wipe timing. 25 GPUs offers the best profit-to-investment ratio, breaking even in ~29 days for 12.5M₽ total cost. 50 GPUs requires massive 25M₽ investment and breaks even slower (~52 days) due to diminishing returns, making it worthwhile only in very early wipe with excess capital.

Production time varies by GPU count: 1 GPU = 3 days 11 hours 20 minutes, 10 GPUs = 2 days 12 hours 46 minutes, 25 GPUs = 1 day 17 hours 53 minutes, 50 GPUs = 1 day 3 hours 35 minutes. Production rate has diminishing returns—each additional GPU contributes progressively less to total output. The formula is non-linear, with efficiency decreasing as you approach 50 GPUs.

Highly recommended for serious farming. Solar Power cuts fuel consumption by 50%, saving 92,000-115,000₽ daily depending on Hideout Management skill level. It typically achieves full ROI in 15-25 days and is essential for maximizing long-term profitability. The initial investment (5-8M₽) is substantial but necessary for efficient operations. Without Solar Power, fuel costs significantly reduce daily profits.

Hideout Management levels through multiple methods: crafting items continuously (+0.8 XP per completed craft—most efficient method), using Scav Case regularly, upgrading hideout modules (+12 XP per upgrade), and completing specific quests ("The Choice", "Never Too Late To Learn", "Profit Retention"). Elite level (51) requires significant dedication but provides -25% fuel reduction and +2 Bitcoin storage slots. Focus on cheap, fast crafts like water filters or basic ammo for maximum XP gain.

Break-even varies by configuration: 10 GPUs = 30-45 days, 25 GPUs = 25-35 days, 50 GPUs = 45-60 days. These estimates assume standard market prices (Bitcoin ~770,000₽, GPUs ~502,000₽) without Solar Power or significant Hideout Management skill. With optimization (Solar + skill bonuses), break-even times reduce by 20-30%. Always use calculators with current market prices for precise calculations. Ensure break-even occurs at least 30-40 days before estimated wipe.

No. Bitcoin Farm requires the generator to be continuously running with fuel. If fuel depletes completely, Bitcoin production stops immediately and progress is not saved. Always maintain 2-3 fuel canisters in generator to prevent production downtime. Each Expeditionary fuel tank lasts approximately 14-21 hours depending on Hideout Management skill level and Solar Power status. Running out of fuel can cost hundreds of thousands in lost production.

Always sell Physical Bitcoins directly to Therapist. She consistently offers the best price and Bitcoins cannot be listed on Flea Market. Therapist's buy price fluctuates based on game economy, typically ranging 650,000-850,000₽ per Bitcoin. Check her buy price regularly to maximize revenue. Never let Bitcoins accumulate beyond storage capacity (3 standard, 5 with Elite) as production pauses when storage is full, wasting potential income.

Only if you have excess capital and are very early in wipe (first 30 days). Level 3 requires Solar Power Level 1 and Water Collector Level 3 as mandatory prerequisites, plus expensive construction materials and 106-hour build time. The additional 25 GPU slots (40-50) have severe diminishing returns and dramatically increase total break-even time. Most experienced players stop at Level 2 (25 GPUs) as the optimal risk-reward balance. Level 3 is a prestige investment for completionists with excess wealth.

No. Graphics Cards installed in Bitcoin Farm are permanent investments and never degrade, break, or get consumed. Once installed, they continue producing Bitcoins indefinitely until wipe. This makes GPUs a one-time investment with ongoing returns, which is why precise break-even calculation and wipe timing are critical. The permanence of GPUs also means you cannot remove or sell them once installed—they're committed until wipe.

Everything resets completely. All installed GPUs, Bitcoins in production, hideout upgrades, skills, and inventory are wiped. You must rebuild from scratch, starting with Intelligence Center Level 2 prerequisite. This complete reset is why wipe timing is the most critical factor in Bitcoin Farm profitability—investing too late means losing your entire investment before achieving ROI. Always calculate remaining wipe days before major investments.

No. Graphics Cards are permanently installed and cannot be removed, sold, or transferred once placed in Bitcoin Farm. This permanence makes careful investment planning essential. Always calculate profitability thoroughly before purchasing and installing GPUs. Use online calculators to verify your configuration will achieve ROI within remaining wipe duration. This irreversibility is why gradual investment (starting with 10-15 GPUs, then expanding) is recommended over immediate 50-GPU purchase.

Depends on configuration, wipe length, and market prices. Realistic example: 25 GPUs with Solar Power over 120-day wipe generates approximately 40-60M₽ total profit after deducting all costs (GPUs, construction, fuel). Budget setup (10 GPUs) yields 15-25M₽ profit. Maximum setup (50 GPUs) can generate 50-75M₽ but requires 25M₽+ initial investment and very long wipe for full profitability. Use online calculators with current market prices and realistic wipe duration estimates for precise projections.

Both strategies complement each other. Bitcoin Farm provides consistent passive income while you actively play and complete quests. Optimal progression: rush early quests for trader levels and gear access (Days 1-7), build Bitcoin Farm Level 1 with 10 GPUs (Days 7-14), continue questing while farm generates income, invest in Solar Power (Days 20-30), expand to 25 GPUs if wipe is long (Days 30+). This balanced approach maximizes both active and passive income streams.

Yes! Bitcoin production continues 24/7 while you're offline, as long as generator has fuel. This is Bitcoin Farm's primary advantage—true passive income that accumulates whether you're playing raids, sleeping, working, or on vacation. You can log off for multiple days and return to completed Bitcoins (up to storage capacity limit). Just ensure sufficient fuel supply before extended absences. Production never pauses when offline, making it the most reliable income source in Tarkov.
