For bitcoin miners, there are four dominant players in the ASIC financing industry: NYDIG, Galaxy Digital, BlockFi, and Foundry. Going further, some of the firms that issued these loans (many of which were collateralized by bitcoin miners that are suddenly much less valuable) were already heavily impacted by the market crash. Companies that overextended themselves by leveraging their balance sheet and bitcoin stockpiles to finance new miners through loans, could be facing even more acute pressure. The financial pain for miners does not just end with decreased profitability. its daily revenue potential (October 2020 to August 2022) Luxor Outlooks and Implications: Reckless Miners Risk Getting Wrecked
The cost of a 100 terahash Antminer S19 vs. Of course, specific profitability varies by miner, depending on its specific setup, energy costs, and other forms of overhead. Now, hashprice is $0.10/TH/day, so that same machine is producing only $10 a day). Last year, for example, the average revenue potential ( hashprice) for a bitcoin mining machine was $0.30/terahash/day (so a 100 terahash machine like the S19 could reasonably rake in $30). They have lost 66% of their profitability during the current bear market. After China's mining ban, there was a big reduction in network competition couple this drop with Bitcoin's booming price, and 2021 was an immensely profitable year for Bitcoin miners.Īs a result, many of the machines purchased on spot last year were at top-of-market prices. When the market was going up, ASIC purchases with 100% premiums over their original price were reasonable based on financial projections created by many purchasers. Now, the S19 is going for roughly $3,600 (a 70% decrease from last year’s peak, which marked an all-time high for this model). At the peak of last year’s market mania, the same model could fetch $11,900–a 148% increase. A top of the line miner like the Antminer S19 sold for roughly $4,800 at the advent of the New Year in 2021. These machines are very expensive, and their prices rose exponentially last year before dropping when the market turned.
