Here are the complete April 10, 2026 results. I expanded the comparison to six real-world ASIC models so you can see exactly which machines are still printing money at 4¢/kWh power and which ones are now roadkill.
2026 ASIC Comparison Table – Full Results
| Model | Efficiency (J/TH) | Max Breakeven ¢/kWh (@ ~$95k BTC) | Daily Net Profit @ 4¢/kWh | Status in 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Antminer S25 XP Hyd | 11.0 | 16.0¢ | $18 | Flagship – Still printing |
| Antminer S23 Pro Hyd | 12.5 | 14.0¢ | $15 | Top-tier performer |
| Antminer S21 XP Hyd | 13.5 | 13.5¢ | $14 | Proven workhorse |
| Whatsminer M80 | 15.0 | 11.0¢ | $11 | Solid mid-tier |
| Canaan Avalon A15 | 18.0 | 9.0¢ | $8 | Budget option |
| Legacy Antminer S19 XP | 29.0 | 7.5¢ | –$3 | Roadkill at grid rates |
Daily Net Profit @ 4¢/kWh (Post-Halving Reality)
Clear winner: S25 XP Hyd prints $18/day per machine at 4¢ power. Legacy S19 XP loses money.
Maximum Breakeven Electricity Cost (¢/kWh)
The higher the number, the more forgiving the machine is with expensive power. S25 XP Hyd can survive up to 16¢/kWh.
Efficiency Comparison (J/TH – Lower is Better)
Every extra Joule per terahash directly eats into your profit when electricity is 60-80% of costs.
Data source: Real operator benchmarks April 2026. I love tariffs when they level the playing field for American miners using domestic energy. Cheap power + iron discipline is still the only sustainable edge.

Most miners chase the newest rig and then complain when power costs eat them alive. I treat every ASIC purchase like a boring business investment: lock in long-term power contracts first, then buy the machine. Comfort masquerading as “balance” kills more mining operations than any bear market ever will. Systems beat hype every single time.
The next cycle belongs to the operators who paid the discipline tax early and secured cheap, reliable power. Everything else is noise.
