Cost to Mine 1 Bitcoin
Here’s an updated chart on the cost to mine 1 BTC based on machine type and an electricity rate of $0.078/kWh.
At 7.8c/kWh the Antminer S21 (200T, 17.5 W/T) has a breakeven price of ~$52,000 while S21’s that lock in our promotional hosting rate of 7.4c/kWh will mine 1 BTC for ~$49,000 in electricity.
Mining Difficulty Lagging Behind
The bullish action in Bitcoin price is NOT translating to a rise in network hashrate/difficulty of an equal magnitude.
A reminder for those new to Bitcoin – “hashrate” measures the aggregate amount of computational power from all Bitcoin miners. When hashrate increases, mining “difficulty” also increases. This results in the BTC block reward that miners earned getting divided among more participants. For example, a 5% increase in difficulty means that each miner will earn 5% less BTC in revenue per unit of compute.
Miners are thriving in the current environment because the BTC price is up ~40% over the past month while mining difficulty is up ~10% in the same time.
