Methodology

Miners are ranked by Home Mining Score (highest first). Profitability is calculated server-side using live BTC price and network difficulty, with a default electricity rate of $0.0735/kWh (Quebec average). Daily revenue uses the standard formula: (hashrate x 10^12 x 86,400 x block_reward) / (difficulty x 2^32). You can adjust the electricity rate above to recalculate profitability for your location.

All data comes from our ASIC Miner Database. Scores, specs, and profitability update automatically. Only miners meeting this page's filter criteria are shown.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes a good home mining setup?

A good home miner balances noise level (under 50 dB for living spaces), power draw (standard 120V outlet compatible), and heat output that can offset heating costs in winter. Our Home Mining Score weighs all these factors.

Can I run a Bitcoin miner in my apartment?

Yes — low-noise miners like the Bitaxe and NerdAxe run at under 45 dB and draw minimal power. They are ideal for apartments. Full-size ASICs require dedicated space and ventilation.

How much electricity does home mining use?

It varies widely. A Bitaxe uses about 15W (like a light bulb), while an Antminer S21 draws 3,500W. Use our Power Cost Calculator to estimate your monthly electricity cost.

Is home Bitcoin mining profitable in 2026?

Profitability depends on your electricity rate and hardware choice. At Quebec rates ($0.0735/kWh), efficient miners like the S21 are profitable. Use our Profitability Calculator for live estimates.

Do Bitcoin miners really work as space heaters?

Yes — 100% of the electricity consumed by a miner is converted to heat. A 3,000W miner produces over 10,000 BTU/hr, equivalent to a portable electric heater, while earning Bitcoin.

How many miners qualify for this list, and which ranks first?

25 miners currently meet this page's criteria. The Bitaxe Ultra ranks first by home mining score. Rankings recompute automatically as our ASIC Miner Database is updated, so this list stays current.

How much does efficiency vary across these miners?

Efficiency on this list ranges from 15.0 J/TH to 765.7 J/TH. Lower J/TH means less electricity per unit of hashrate — at scale, that gap compounds into a meaningful difference in your monthly power bill.
