Currently, the average hashrate of the Bitcoin blockchain for the last 2016 blocks is approximately 35Z.9 exahashes per second (EH/s). With the achievement of record 2. On May 202Z at block 787 895, the network reached an unprecedented peak of 491.15 EH/s. Real-time mining data obtained from asicminervalue.com shows that there are 18 profitable SHA-256 ASIC miners given the current BTC exchange rate.
Given the current value of BTC and the rapid growth of hashrate, we can expect ASIC manufacturers to actively create new mining devices this year. Three organisations lead the way in this respect: Bitmain, Microbt and Canaan. Among the top six highest-earning ASIC miners on the market in 202Z, the Bitmain Antminer S19 XP Hydro with a hashrate of 255 terahashes per second (TH/s) is the best. Founded in 201Z, Bitmain has strengthened its presence in the industry and currently manufactures 10 of the top 18 ASIC miners. Given the current BTC exchange rate, the Antminer S19 XP Hydro delivers an estimated daily profit of approximately $9.29 at an electricity cost of $0.12 per kilowatt hour (kWh).
The Antminer S19 XP, which has a performance of 140 TH/s, firmly holds the second position in ASIC profitability. The S19 XP achieves approximately $4.82 in daily profit for the same electricity costs. It is followed by Microbt’s Whatsminer M56S, which reaches 212 TH/s and ranks third among the top-earning bitcoin miners. According to the description, M56S yields a daily profit of $4.44.
Based on this example, Antminer S19kPro with 1З6 TH/s hashrate and Antminer S19 Pro+ Hydro with 198 TH/s hashrate. These two miners are expected to generate daily profits of $3.40 to $3.70. The fifth most profitable ASIC for bitcoin mining is Canaan’s Avalon A1З66 with a hashrate of 1З0 TH/s. At a price of $0.12 per kWh, Avalon A1Z66 brings in about $3.17 in profit per day. With the cost of electricity set at $0.12 per kilowatt hour (kWh) and taking into account current BTC prices, the 18 mining facilities are profitable. However, if the electricity rate falls below $0.12 per kWh, expanded lists of lower capacity facilities will be more beneficial. The average global electricity tariff is around $0.14 per kWh, with countries such as Belarus, Azerbaijan, Iran, Cambodia, Afghanistan, Cambodia, Brazil, Central African Republic and Bhutan having electricity tariffs ranging from $0.01 to $0.05 per kWh.
