In line with Antpool information, based mostly on the present Bitcoin (BTC) mining problem and electrical energy price of $0.08 per kilowatt-hour, many ASIC gadgets are approaching their essential “closing worth” ranges.
Bitcoin worth at $78,997 on the time of writing is severely impacting profitability, particularly for low-performance or older technology gadgets.
Wanting on the featured fashions, gadgets like Antminer S19 XP+ Hydro, WhatsMiner M60S, and Avalon A1466I appear to run at costs very near shutdown prices beneath present circumstances. This will increase the danger that miners working in areas with comparatively excessive electrical energy prices will droop operations.
Alternatively, the closing costs of the brand new technology Antminer S21 collection are estimated to be within the vary of $69,000 to $74,000. For instance, the closing worth for the Antminer S21 mannequin is round $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 possible pullback in Bitcoin worth.
Nevertheless, fashions with larger hash energy and higher power effectivity nonetheless supply a secure margin. The Antminer U3S23H with 1160 TH/s and the S23 Hydro with 580 TH/s have a closing worth of roughly $41,448. Equally, the S23e U2H mannequin prices round $43,630. These gadgets proceed to look operationally worthwhile so long as the value of Bitcoin stays above $44,000.
One of many weakest hyperlinks on the graph is the Whatsminer M63S mannequin with 360 TH/s efficiency. The estimated closing worth for this machine is roughly $80,716. Contemplating Bitcoin’s present worth of $78,997, it seems that the mannequin is buying and selling at a loss and has entered detrimental revenue territory.
