Your Unused IPs Are Worth Money
If your organization holds IPv4 addresses that are not being used, you are sitting on a valuable asset. With current market prices ranging from $17-$40 per IP depending on block size, even a single /24 (256 IPs) is worth $7,000-$10,000.
Two Ways to Monetize: Sell or Lease
Option 1: Sell Your IPv4 Addresses
Selling provides a one-time lump sum payment. Best when:
- You are certain you will never need the addresses again
- You want maximum immediate cash
- You are closing down or consolidating operations
Estimated revenue (selling):
| Block Size | Estimated Value (USD) |
|---|---|
| /24 (256 IPs) | $7,000 - $10,000 |
| /22 (1,024 IPs) | $25,000 - $35,000 |
| /20 (4,096 IPs) | $90,000 - $115,000 |
| /16 (65,536 IPs) | $1,100,000 - $1,500,000 |
Option 2: Lease Out Your IPv4 Addresses
Leasing provides ongoing monthly or annual income while retaining ownership. Best when:
- You might need the addresses again in the future
- You want recurring passive income
- You want to retain the asset for potential appreciation
Estimated monthly revenue (leasing):
| Block Size | Monthly Income (USD) | Annual Income (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| /24 | $80 - $150 | $960 - $1,800 |
| /22 | $280 - $500 | $3,360 - $6,000 |
| /20 | $800 - $1,500 | $9,600 - $18,000 |

Which Option Is Better?
Consider the break-even calculation: if leasing earns you ~$1,500/year for a /24 and selling earns ~$8,500, the break-even is approximately 5-6 years. If you plan to hold for longer, leasing generates more total revenue while the underlying asset continues to appreciate.
Many organizations use a hybrid approach: sell some blocks for immediate capital and lease the rest for ongoing income.
