Why Smart Investors Mine Bitcoin!
What happens when a successful real estate investor sells everything and goes all-in on Bitcoin mining? That’s exactly what Beau Turner did—and the result was a complete shift from active property management to recurring, largely passive income. In this episode, Bo explains why he walked away from a solid real estate portfolio and embraced crypto mining as a long-term wealth strategy that gives him both financial freedom and time with his family.
Beau breaks down Bitcoin mining in simple terms, framing it as a manufacturing business: converting energy into a digital asset. Instead of dealing with tenants, repairs, and market cycles tied to real estate, mining allows investors to participate in Bitcoin’s upside while generating monthly cash flow. By leveraging industrial-scale energy contracts and economies of scale, mining can outperform DIY setups and reduce emotional volatility compared to simply buying and holding crypto.
A major theme of the conversation is risk management and smart allocation. Both speakers agree that crypto shouldn’t be 0% of a high-net-worth portfolio—but it also shouldn’t be reckless. Even a small allocation, such as 1–10%, can have an outsized impact over time. Mining, in particular, helps investors stay disciplined by producing income even during flat or volatile markets, making it psychologically easier to hold long term.
The episode also dives into education, custody, and tax strategy—areas where most investors fail.Beau emphasizes that many of their clients are over 50 and brand new to crypto, which is why education is core to their model. Importantly, mining equipment qualifies for 100% bonus depreciation, allowing investors to offset taxable income while earning Bitcoin, making it a powerful tool for tax-aware wealth planning.
Finally, the discussion explores the future of Bitcoin, energy, and AI, highlighting how mining intersects with global trends in computing and power efficiency. From monetizing wasted energy to supporting local communities, mining is positioned as more than speculation—it’s infrastructure. The takeaway is clear: for investors seeking diversification beyond stocks and real estate, Bitcoin mining offers cash flow, tax benefits, and exposure to what may become the next global reserve asset.
