Connecting to Binance Pool for BTC mining only takes three steps on the miner side: create a mining account on Binance, enter the pool address and account name in your miner's backend, and confirm that your miner is submitting hashrate. The part that often causes confusion is checking your earnings, because Binance Pool earnings first go to your Funding Wallet, not your Spot Wallet. Many people cannot find them the first time.

Before You Start: Check Your Miner and Account
You need an ASIC miner that supports the SHA-256 algorithm, such as Antminer or WhatsMiner series, and a Binance account that has completed identity verification. Binance Pool does not provide hardware support for miners. If your miner itself has a problem, you need to contact the miner manufacturer.
Each Binance user can create up to 100 mining accounts. These sub-accounts are used to separate different miners or different locations, but they are all linked to the same Binance account.
Step 1: Create a Mining Account
After logging in to your Binance account, go to More → Pool → Mining Dashboard → Add Mining Account. Enter a mining account name. The name can only use numbers or a combination of numbers and letters. It cannot be changed or deleted after creation.
After the account is created, the page will show a configuration example for connecting your miner. It is best to keep this page open.
Step 2: Enter the Pool Address on Your Miner
Log in to your miner's management backend by entering the miner's IP address in your browser. The way to find the IP address depends on the miner model, but you can usually use the IP scanning tool provided by the manufacturer.
On the miner's pool configuration page, enter the Binance Pool Stratum address. The BTC pool addresses are as follows:
stratum+tcp://sha256.poolbinance.com:8888
stratum+tcp://bs.poolbinance.com:3333
stratum+tcp://sha256.pool binance.com:443
Supported ports include 8888, 3333, 1800, and 443.
It is recommended to configure multiple addresses at the same time. If you only fill in one address, your miner will run idle when the pool connection drops. Binance officially also recommends setting multiple ports so your miner can switch automatically when the first address is unavailable. Some internet providers block port 3333, such as China Unicom. If port 3333 cannot connect, switch to 8888 or 443.
The Worker name format is MiningAccountName.Number. For example, if your mining account is called MiningBTC, you can set the Worker on your miner to MiningBTC.001. The password can be left empty or set to anything. Binance Pool does not check the password on the miner side.
After saving the configuration, your miner will automatically start submitting hashrate to Binance Pool.
Step 3: Confirm Your Miner Is Online
After your miner starts running, Binance Pool will usually show hashrate data within about 10 minutes. You can check your effective hashrate on the Miners page of the pool dashboard.
If it still shows inactive or invalid miner after 10 to 20 minutes, check whether the Worker name on your miner matches the format shown when you created the mining account, and whether the pool address port is blocked by your internet provider.
Where to See Earnings and When They Arrive
Binance Pool uses the FPPS model for BTC settlement. Your earnings are calculated based on the share of hashrate you submit relative to the theoretical network earnings. It does not depend on whether the pool actually mined a block that day. Transaction fees are also included in the FPPS earnings calculation.
The settlement period is from UTC 00:00 of the previous day to UTC 00:00 of the current day. After settlement is complete, earnings are distributed to your Binance Funding Wallet between UTC 02:00 and 10:00.
There are two places to check:
Pool Earnings page: Go to More → Pool → Earnings. There you can view your daily earnings records, including date, coin, hashrate, settled earnings, and settlement time.
Funding Wallet: Go to Wallet → Funding Wallet. This is where you can see the actual BTC balance that has arrived. Pool earnings do not go directly to your Spot Wallet.
If you cannot see earnings in your Funding Wallet, first check whether the settlement time has passed, which is UTC 02:00 to 10:00, and whether your mining account is in normal active status.
When to Contact Customer Support
If your miner is online and hashrate is showing normally, but your earnings are zero for several days in a row or no funds arrive in your Funding Wallet, you can provide your mining account name and a screenshot of your miner being online, and ask through Binance customer support.
For hardware problems with the miner itself, firmware upgrades, or hashrate board failures, Binance Pool does not provide support. You need to contact the miner manufacturer.

One Detail That Is Easy to Miss
Binance Pool's Pool Savings product allows miners to automatically transfer daily mining earnings into a flexible savings product with a 1.5% annualized yield. This product is only open to pool users and can only be subscribed with mining earnings, with a limit of 5 BTC. If you plan to mine long term and are not in a hurry to move your BTC out, you can turn on the switch on the More → Pool → Pool Savings page. Earnings are compounded daily, and after redemption, the principal arrives the next day.
