With electrical energy costing $0.06 per kWh, even these miners who use environment friendly mining machines (27.5 watts per terahash) are barely breaking even at round $97,000 per Bitcoin.
Machines which are much less environment friendly or have greater electrical energy prices are already be dropping cash.
As $BTC falls under $100K, down 6% up to now 24 hours, mining income is beneath strain.
At $0.06/kWh, mining machines with a unit energy of 27.5 W/T at the moment are working close to breakeven round $97K/BTC.

The opposite high-efficiency S21 fashions are shut behind: all of them would handle to stay worthwhile with the Bitcoin worth beneath $60,000.
