How is revenue calculated?
Daily BTC = (hashrate_TH/s x 10^12 x 86,400 x block_reward) / (difficulty x 2^32). This estimate uses current network difficulty and BTC price. Actual results vary as these values change. Does not account for pool fees or hardware degradation.
Why Mine Bitcoin in Canada?
Cheap Hydroelectric Power
Quebec, Manitoba, British Columbia, and Newfoundland generate 95-99% of their electricity from hydroelectric dams. Canadian miners access some of the lowest electricity rates in the world, with Quebec as low as $0.0735/kWh.
Cold Climate = Free Cooling
Canadian winters eliminate the need for expensive cooling infrastructure. Cold ambient air naturally keeps ASIC miners at optimal temperatures, reducing operational costs and extending hardware lifespan by years.
Dual-Purpose Heating
A 3,000W miner produces over 10,236 BTU/hr of heat. During 5-7 months of Canadian winter, that heat directly offsets your heating bill, effectively subsidizing your mining operation year after year.
Mining-Friendly Regulations
Canada has no federal ban on Bitcoin mining. Provincial regulations are generally favourable, and the country's stable political and economic environment provides long-term certainty for mining investments and operations.

Province ranking data based on a Antminer S19j Pro (3,050W, 104 TH/s) running 24/7 at current BTC price and network difficulty. Actual electricity rates may vary by provider, tier, and time-of-use schedule. Mining Score is a composite rating and does not guarantee profitability. Heating offset assumes the miner fully replaces an equivalent electric heater. Not financial advice.
