SHA-256 · air-cooled
A mid-tier air-cooled machine at 18 W/TH. Competent rather than leading: it needs meaningfully cheaper power than an S21 Pro to return the same margin.

Enter a hardware cost to estimate payback
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 Payback needs a hardware cost, which we do not publish because we have no verified retailer feed — add your own purchase price in the calculator.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 figures. Last verified 2026-07-31.
Note: Retailers list this model at both 3,348 W and 3,441 W — a 2.8% difference that moves the break-even price. We tried to settle it against MicroBT's own documentation in July 2026 and could not: the manufacturer's product pages were not reachable. Treat the efficiency figure as approximate until we can confirm it at source.
Noise, dimensions, weight and warranty are not listed because we have not verified them for this machine. We would rather leave a field empty than publish a figure you cannot check.

HB 639 gives residents a self-custody right, exempts miners and validators from money-transmitter licensing, and creates a dedicated superior-court docket for blockchain disputes.
TeraWulf leased its Justified Data campus in Hawesville, Kentucky to Anthropic for two decades, in a deal expected to generate roughly $19 billion in revenue — a figure larger than the bitcoin miner's own market value going into the announcement.
Hyperscale Data signed a Master Services Agreement on 24 June with an unnamed California-based neocloud, committing 20 megawatts of AI compute at its Michigan campus over ten years with a headline value above $1.2 billion. Options carry the deal to $3 billion. The mining operation the site had been running is winding down.
