Bitcoin miners have had a challenging year as the network’s mining difficulty reached an all-time high and the spot market price of bitcoin dropped below the cost of production. 現在, with electricity costs at $0.07 キロワット時あたり (kWh), それだけ 18 application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) bitcoin mining rigs are able to turn a profit at current prices.

Current SHA256 ASIC Models Unprofitable at $0.12 kWhあたり, Only Two Devices Profitable at $0.10 kWhあたり
On December 31, 2022, statistics show that bitcoin’s hash rate is hovering above the 300 エクサハッシュ/秒 (EH/秒) range after reaching a low on December 30 で 235 EH/秒. さらに, データ from macromicro.me indicates that the current cost of production ($16,577) is nearly equal to bitcoin’s current spot market value ($16,572).
Macromicro.me calculates the cost of production by “observing consumption of electricity and daily issuance of bitcoin, as provided by Cambridge University.” The Cambridge Bitcoin Electricity Consumption Index (CBECI) ショー BTC’s annualized consumption 12月に. 31, 2022, is 84.74 terawatts per hour (TWh). With the current mining difficulty at 35.36 trillion and current BTC prices at $16,572 ユニットあたり, a large number of ASIC mining machines are not profitable.
For instance, で $0.12 kWhあたり, none of the current SHA256 ASIC models are profitable with electricity costs at that rate. At $0.10 kWhあたり, two ASIC devices are profitable and can make $1.14-$2.51 per day in profits. The top two machines that can still profit at $0.10 per kWh include Bitmain’s Antminer S19 XP Hyd. と 255 毎秒テラハッシュ (TH/秒) and Bitmain’s Antminer S19 XP with 140 TH/秒.
18 ASIC Mining Rigs Profitable at $0.07 kWhあたり, Alternative Consensus Algorithms See Better Profits
At $0.08 kWhあたり, 13 different ASIC bitcoin mining machines can capture profits between $0.13-$5.08 一日あたり. The machine with the lowest profits at $0.08 per kWh is Bitmain’s Antminer S19j Pro with 100 TH/秒. At $0.07 kWhあたり, another five machines are added to the profitable machine list with a total of 18 ASIC mining rigs in profit.
At the $0.07 per kWh value, a bitcoin miner can make between $0.23 per day to $6.35 一日あたり, depending on the machine used. Bitmain’s Antminer S19 XP Hyd. と 255 TH/s and $0.07 per kWh in electrical costs will produce an estimated profit of around $6.35 every 24 時間.
While SHA256 bitcoin mining machines are seeing fewer profits than they were six months ago, machines that mine alternative consensus algorithms see better profits. The top three consensus algorithms today, in terms of profit, include Kadena, イーグルソング, 脚本, and Handshake.
