Independent data on what mining actually costs and returns. Retailers recommend the machines they sell and pools recommend themselves; the figures here apply the same assumptions to every option, and we show you where each number came from.

A rising retarget makes mining harder and reduces revenue per unit of hashrate. Figures are estimates, not a forecast of future returns.

Revenue is derived from network difficulty and block reward, not from a provider's advertised return. Every live figure on this page carries its source and the time it was fetched. Profitability changes with difficulty and price, and past figures do not predict future returns.

Revenue assumes a 1% pool fee at current price and difficulty, before electricity. Break-even is the highest rate per kWh at which the machine still covers its power cost. Specifications are manufacturer figures; hardware prices are not included because we do not yet publish a verified retailer feed.
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.
Bitcoin difficulty dropped from 138.96T to 124.93T at block 953,568 on June 14, the second-largest negative adjustment of the year. Hashrate is down 12% in a month to 886 EH/s, and the marginal kilowatt is increasingly being sold to AI hyperscalers instead.
The second-largest difficulty cut of 2026 reflects what miner earnings have been telegraphing all year: Marathon, Riot and their peers are pulling power and capital out of bitcoin mining and into AI data centres as fast as the contracts can be signed.
MARA Holdings disposed of nearly a third of its bitcoin treasury in Q1 to retire zero-coupon convertibles and fund a pivot toward AI infrastructure — and its 10-Q no longer describes the firm primarily as a miner.
