Electricity Cost

2. Hardware Break-Even (Antminer S21 XP)

If you own your own machine, your break-even is determined entirely by your local electricity rate. The S21 XP is currently the gold standard for 2026 efficiency (approx. 13.5 J/TH).

Free Heat

  The 2026 "Free Heat" Math In a cold January like this one, a standard 1,500W electric space heater costs about $5.40/day to run (at $0.15/kWh). Traditional Heater : You pay $5.40. You get 100% heat. Net Loss: $5.40. Avalon Mini 3 (800W): You pay $2.88 in electricity. You get roughly 50% of the heat of a full-size heater, but you earn ~$3.80 in Bitcoin . The Result: You are essentially being paid ~$0.90 per day to stay warm. 2026 Buyer's Warning 240V vs 120V : Most "real" mining hardware requires a 240V outlet (like a dryer). The models above are specifically chosen because they work on standard 120V home outlets . The "Summer" Problem : Remember that in June, you won't want this heat in your house. Unless you have a way to vent the hot air outside, your "profitable heater" becomes an expensive paperweight for 6 months of the year. Pay $7 get $6 per lead
