At $0.12 per kWh, nine ASIC bitcoin miners make an estimated profit between $0.33 och $4.24 per day.

The top five most profitable ASIC mining machines today include the Bitmain Antminer S19 XP with 140 terahash per sekund (TH/s), the Antminer S19 Pro+ Hyd (198 TH/s), the Microbt Whatsminer M50S (126 TH/s), the Microbt Whatsminer M50 (114 TH/s), and the Bitmain Antminer S19 Pro (110 TH/s).

During the past three days, 423 blocks were discovered by miners and Foundry USA found 108 block. Foundry has been the top miner during the last three days with 25.53% av det globala hashratet eller 56.53 EH/s.

Foundry is followed by Antpool, F2pool, Binance Pool, and Viabtc respectively. För närvarande, 11 known mining pools are dedicating hashrate toward the Bitcoin blockchain, representing 98.11% av det globala hashratet. Unknown hashrate commands 1.89% of the global hashrate today or 4.19 EH/s used to discover eight blocks out of the 423 found in three days.
