Our focus
The chip is the beginning.
The system is the product.
BitMaster Inc. is a US semiconductor company developing energy-efficient ASICs and mining systems for commercial Bitcoin operators.
We bring custom silicon, packaging and test, power delivery, and thermal engineering into one development program. Our objective is to turn efficiency at the circuit level into dependable performance at the machine level.

POST-TAPEOUT DEVELOPMENT
BS1001
A fixed-function ASIC designed specifically for Bitcoin’s SHA-256 proof-of-work workload. Its parallel hash architecture and custom low-voltage design form the foundation of BitMaster’s mining platform.

Engineering, end to end
Every layer matters.
An efficient mining system depends on decisions across the entire hardware stack. Our engineering spans the silicon, the package, the system and its cooling.
Efficiency starts at the transistor.
Custom circuits and cell libraries allow us to optimize the SHA-256 datapath around a specific workload. We focus on low-voltage operation and the balance between throughput, switching power and physical implementation.
- ASIC architecture
- Custom circuit design
- Cell-library development
Connect the silicon to the real world.
Package design and test planning translate a chip design into a component that can be assembled, characterized and integrated. We coordinate package requirements, electrical interfaces and production-test development around the ASIC.
- Package design
- Electrical characterization
- Test-flow development
Build around the operating environment.
We develop mining systems with attention to hashboard integration, power delivery and configurable operating points. The goal is to balance compute output and energy use while supporting stable operation.
- Hashboard integration
- Power management
- System validation
Make heat part of the design.
Cooling requirements influence power density, system configuration and long-term operation. Our engineering includes cooling approaches and heat-recovery concepts tailored to deployment needs.

Program milestones
From design to silicon.
From silicon to systems.
Our first-generation program has reached tapeout. The next steps turn the design into characterized hardware and a validated mining system.
BS1001 design submitted
Successful tapeout on TSMC’s advanced FinFET platform, moving the program from design into fabrication.
Characterize. Integrate. Test.
Packaging, electrical testing, hashboard bring-up and full-system evaluation define the next development stages.
Tapeout is a design milestone. Final performance and product availability depend on silicon and system validation.

A closer look
Questions about
the program.
Does BitMaster make chips or mining systems?
Both are part of our development program. We design the BS1001 ASIC as the compute foundation for BitMaster mining systems, with packaging, hashboards, power and cooling developed around it.
Can I order a BS1001 chip or mining machine now?
The first-generation platform is in post-tapeout development. Contact us to discuss evaluation interest, deployment requirements and future availability. This page does not offer a product for immediate purchase.
Where can I find hashrate and efficiency specifications?
We plan to share measured performance following silicon and full-system validation. Chip-level design targets and measured wall-power efficiency are different, so we will identify the measurement conditions when specifications are released.
