Estimated Monthly Electricity Costs
Based on Georgia electricity rates, here are estimated monthly power costs for popular mining hardware:
| Hardware | Power Draw | Monthly Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Antminer S21 | 3,500W | $79-$92 | Latest generation, most efficient |
| Antminer S19 | 3,250W | $72-$84 | Previous gen, great value |
| Bitaxe (any variant) | 15W | $0.41-$0.48 | Solo mining, silent operation |
| Space Heater (S9-based) | 1,400W | $24-$28 | Dual-purpose: heat + mining |

Climate Considerations for Mining in Georgia
Temperature Profile
Georgia has a humid subtropical with hot summers climate:
- Winter: 2C to 12C (36F to 54F)
- Summer: 27C to 35C (81F to 95F)
- Heating season: 3-4 months
Cooling considerations: Hot humid summers require active cooling May through September.
While the heating season is relatively short at 3-4 months, Bitcoin Space Heaters still offer meaningful value during winter by offsetting heating costs while mining Bitcoin.
Bitcoin Mining Regulations in Georgia
Regulatory stance: Neutral
No specific cryptocurrency mining legislation. Generally business-friendly.
Tax Considerations
Flat state income tax of 5.49%. Sales tax 4% plus local.
Zoning & Noise
Rural Georgia very permissive. Many counties have no zoning at all.
Best Mining Hardware for Georgia
With moderate electricity rates, focus on efficiency and dual-purpose mining:
- Bitcoin Space Heaters: The #1 pick for this rate tier. Mine Bitcoin while heating your home — the heating offset makes them profitable.
- Antminer S21 / S21+: Latest-generation efficiency makes these profitable at moderate rates.
- Bitaxe (all variants): Solo mining at minimal cost. Always worthwhile — you are playing the block reward lottery for pennies a day.
- NerdQAxe / NerdAxe: More hashpower than Bitaxe, still very low power. Great for serious solo miners.
Getting Started with Bitcoin Mining in Georgia
STEP 1 — ASSESS YOUR ELECTRICITY
Check your utility bill for your exact per-kWh rate. Use our Power Cost Calculator to estimate costs.
STEP 2 — CHOOSE YOUR HARDWARE
Based on your electricity rate, select hardware from D-Central. Space Heaters and Bitaxe miners offer the best value at your rate tier.
