It costs $37,000 to buy 1 BTC. But how much does it cost to mine? . With an S19 Pro, you can mine 1 BTC for $13,000. That's a $24,000 difference.

This is one hashing chip from a 56 TH/s Antminer S17. There are 144 chips per rig, so a single chip should hash at ~0.388 TH/s. Fun fact: The SHA2-256 hashrate of a top line GPU like the Nvidia RTX 3090 is ~9.7 GH/s. You would need 40 of them to equal a single S17 chip.

@ruskin147 Some nuance here:. A majority share of hashrate is powered by renewables. Miners are incentivized to consume only cheap energy, which is mostly energy which otherwise gets wasted. Some mining reduces GGEs, e.g. mining instead of flaring gas. More ⬇️.
