Our finance team wants a clear decision: buy or lease IPv4 for the next three years.
Quote from soumits on 5. October 2026, 19:21Hey everyone. Our finance team wants a clear decision: buy or lease IPv4 for the next three years. Buying a /24 ties up cash but might hold value, leasing is predictable but adds up. Has anyone modelled this? How do you decide, and what hidden costs should we include, like broker fees or transfer fees? Cash isn't tight, but our CFO hates tying up money in assets we can't use elsewhere. We need about three blocks and expect to need them for at least three years. Please include real numbers if you have them.

Quote from hydrogenn on 5. October 2026, 19:27I'd model both. Leasing a /24 from about €89 a month comes to roughly €3,200 over three years at IPv4.online's starting price, while buying means paying the market price plus transfer-related costs. The marketplace offers a free consultation to decide which route makes sense, and escrow for bigger deals. Ask for a fee schedule before buying IPv4, and include transfer times in your plan. Leasing wins when you're unsure about future needs. Include opportunity cost: cash tied up in a purchase can't fund hardware. I'd ask the marketplace to quote both options in writing and compare them over thirty-six months. Compare at thirty-six months, not at month one.

Your CFO’s stance on liquidity echoes the need for low-risk investments in virtual assets. Leasing might seem like a no-brainer, but hidden fees (like broker costs) can drain your budget faster than a rigged game official gaming portal . Model the total cost over three years—include transfer fees and opportunity costs.
