ASIC Miner Profitability 2026

ASIC miner ranking podium — current Bitcoin miners ordered by profitability

All 16 current-generation Bitcoin miners ranked by monthly profit at the typical hosted rate of $0.072/kWh. The efficiency gap matters: a 13.4 J/TH machine keeps ~65% of revenue as profit, a 29 J/TH machine barely breaks even at the same rate.

Think of this as a free, neutral alternative to asicminervalue-style directories: instead of raw spec sheets, we rank every machine by real ASIC miner profitability and show its break-even electricity price, so you see genuine ASIC miner value — profit after power — rather than headline hashrate. Every number below comes from the same transparent formula and is recomputed at hosted rates the market actually charges.

Most profitable miner right now

At this page’s $0.072/kWh hosted-electricity assumption, the Antminer S21 XP Hyd ranks first at about $532 per month before pool fees and difficulty drift. Its 473 TH/s hashrate and 5,676 W draw produce the strongest modeled result in this 16-miner dataset. Rankings change with BTC price, network difficulty and your contracted power rate, so check the mining calculator before buying.

ASIC miner profitability & value — FAQ

What is ASIC miner profitability?

ASIC miner profitability is the net monthly profit a machine produces after electricity: revenue (its share of the network hashrate × 144 blocks × 3.125 BTC × BTC price) minus power cost (watts × 24h × your kWh rate). At $0.072/kWh and $100,000 BTC, top-ranked models in the table above keep roughly 60–65% of revenue as profit, while older or less efficient machines barely break even at the same rate.

How is ASIC miner value different from a spec sheet?

Manufacturer spec sheets list hashrate and wattage, but ASIC miner value depends on how those specs translate into profit at a realistic electricity price and BTC price. A cheaper machine with worse efficiency (higher J/TH) can have lower ASIC miner value than a pricier, more efficient rig once you account for months of electricity. That is why this table ranks by profit and break-even kWh, not by hashrate alone.

Is this a free alternative to asicminervalue-style directories?

Yes. This page is a neutral, free alternative to asicminervalue-style ASIC miner value directories. It ranks 16 current Bitcoin ASICs by real profitability at the hosted rates the market actually charges ($0.065–$0.08/kWh), links each model to a full scenario breakdown, and shows the break-even electricity price for every machine — with a transparent methodology and no pay-to-rank placement.

Which ASIC miner has the best profitability right now?

The table above ranks every current model by monthly profit at $0.072/kWh, so the machine at position 1 has the highest ASIC miner profitability under those assumptions. Because the ranking depends on your electricity price, use the profitability calculator to re-rank at the exact kWh rate you have been quoted before buying.
