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.
Which pools are actually finding blocks, how healthy those blocks are, and — the part other comparisons skip — which pools publish their fees at all. Several of the largest do not.

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.
Shares submitted after 07:00 UTC that day will not be credited, and miners have until then to repoint equipment and close Pool Savings positions. Binance gave no reason beyond a review of its products and published no hashrate figure for the pool.
The miner's self-mining hashrate rose to 79.9 EH/s and production was up about 249 percent from a year earlier, but its bitcoin balance ended the month at 61 coins, against 257 a month earlier and 1,934 a year ago. The company's own footnote says the figure counts coins pledged as collateral, which rules out one explanation for the drop.
The Ways and Means Committee marked up H.R. 10357 on Wednesday morning, a day after the CLARITY Act stalled in the Senate. The bill waives tax on network fees of $10 or less from 2028, but settles only that staking and mining rewards are ordinary income, not when they are taxed.
