SHA-256 · air-cooled
A mid-tier air-cooled machine at 18.5 W/TH. Competent rather than leading: it needs meaningfully cheaper power than an S21 Pro to return the same margin. Its 180-day warranty is half what Bitmain offers on comparable models.

Revenue assumes a 1% pool fee at the current BTC price and network difficulty, with the machine running continuously. Payback needs a hardware cost, which we do not publish because we have no verified retailer feed — add your own purchase price in the calculator.

Data provenance
Manufacturer datasheet as published by retailers; power draw corroborated across three independent sources. Last verified 2026-08-03.
Note: We previously published 3,348 W for this model, which was wrong — the datasheet figure is 3,441 W (18.5 W/TH). MicroBT's own product pages were unreachable, so this was settled against three independent sources that agree. The correction lowers its break-even electricity price slightly.
Any field not listed above is one we could not verify for this machine. We would rather leave a row out than publish a figure you cannot check. Where published sources disagree, we say so instead of picking one. How we verify specifications.

The seven-day average passed 1,000 EH/s for the first time since March 3, and chain data shows difficulty already 5.92% higher since October 16, with another increase due around October 29.
Release 34-106659 approves Cboe binary contracts on indicators that 23 listed companies report, and Marathon Digital Holdings' list covers BTC produced, blocks won, total holdings and energized hashrate. Settlement reads the figure in the company's SEC filing rather than its earnings press release, and nothing can list until Cboe Clear U.S. is registered as a clearing agency.
The miner agreed to buy an 80-megawatt Ethiopian site almost two years ago, and on September 28 the facility's power supplier gave its operator ten days to pay a disputed bill or lose collateralized equipment. BitFuFu says it is weighing termination and arbitration against the sellers.
