In accordance with Antpool knowledge, primarily based on the present Bitcoin (BTC) mining issue and electrical energy value of $0.08 per kilowatt-hour, many ASIC gadgets are approaching their essential “shutdown value” ranges.
Bitcoin buying and selling at $78,997 on the time of writing is severely impacting profitability, particularly for low-performance or older technology gadgets.
distinguished fashions, gadgets just like the Antminer S19 XP+ Hydro, WhatsMiner M60S, and Avalon A1466I look like working at costs very near shutdown prices underneath present circumstances. This will increase the danger of miners working in areas with comparatively excessive electrical energy prices suspending their operations.
However, the closing costs of the brand new technology Antminer S21 collection are estimated to be within the vary of $69,000–$74,000. For instance, the closing value for the Antminer S21 mannequin is roughly $76,353, whereas for variants just like the S21e Hyd and S21+, this threshold is round $74,000. This means that a good portion of the S21 collection might transfer into unprofitable territory within the occasion of a doable pullback in Bitcoin value.
Nevertheless, fashions with larger hash energy and higher power effectivity nonetheless supply a protected margin. The Antminer U3S23H with 1160 TH/s and the S23 Hydro with 580 TH/s have a closing value of roughly $41,448. Equally, the S23e U2H mannequin is round $43,630. These gadgets proceed to seem operationally worthwhile so long as the Bitcoin value stays above $44,000.
One of many weakest hyperlinks within the chart is the Whatsminer M63S mannequin with 360 TH/s of throughput. The calculated closing value for this system is roughly $80,716. Contemplating the present Bitcoin value of $78,997, it seems that the mannequin is working at a loss and has entered detrimental revenue territory.
