If you’re searching for where to buy a Bitaxe in Canada, you’ve found the right shop. D-Central builds and ships open-source Bitcoin miners from Laval, Quebec — including the Bitaxe Supra and Bitaxe Gamma — with CAD pricing, fast domestic shipping, and bilingual EN/FR support. No surprise customs brokerage fees at the door. No four-week wait for a parcel from overseas. No language barrier when you need help.

We’ve been repairing and building ASIC mining hardware since 2016. When you order a Bitaxe from us, it’s hand-built, bench-tested, and backed by a team that actually understands the hardware inside it.

Buy a Bitaxe Supra or Gamma — Shipped From Laval, QC

The Bitaxe is the first fully open-source Bitcoin ASIC miner, created by the developer known as skot and carried forward by the open-source mining community (OSMU). The hardware design is published in KiCad and the firmware (ESP-Miner / AxeOS) runs on an ESP32-S3. More than 100,000 units are deployed worldwide, and open-source hardware has even found solo blocks. We didn’t invent the Bitaxe — we’re proud to help more Canadians get their hands on one.

Here’s what we stock and build to order:

• Bitaxe Gamma — single BM1370 (5nm) chip, roughly 1.0–1.2 TH/s at around 18W. The current sweet spot for solo lottery mining and learning the protocol top to bottom.
• Bitaxe Supra — single BM1368 chip, roughly 625–775 GH/s at around 12W. A lean, efficient single-chip board that’s a great first miner.

These are quoted and sold in Canadian dollars, so the price you see is the price you plan around — no live-FX guesswork, no cross-border markup stacked on at checkout.

What a Bitaxe Really Costs Landed in Canada: Importing vs Buying Here

Sticker price is only part of the story. A board listed at a low US price still has to cross the border, picking up currency conversion, cross-border shipping, a card foreign-transaction fee, and courier brokerage or customs-clearance charges along the way. Here is an honest worked example on the dual-chip Bitaxe GT (two BM1370 chips, about 2.15 TH/s) — the tier where the Canadian math clearly wins. US sellers list the same dual-BM1370 board at roughly US$174–200 (prices observed June 2026 — verify current pricing yourself), converted below at about 1.37 CAD per USD.

To get the same dual-BM1370 board	Import from a US seller	Buy from D-Central (Laval, QC)
Hardware sticker	~US$174–200	—
In Canadian dollars (~1.37 FX)	~CAD $238–274	CAD $269.99
Cross-border courier shipping	~CAD $35–60	Canadian domestic rates
Card foreign-transaction fee (~2.5%)	~CAD $6–7	None — charged in CAD
Courier brokerage / clearance fee	~CAD $20–50	None — no border crossing
Estimated landed total	~CAD $300–390	CAD $269.99

Estimate only — exact duties, brokerage, and shipping vary by courier, province, and shipment. Sales tax (GST/HST) is charged either way, including on imports, so it is left out of the comparison above. Even when the board itself crosses duty-free, couriers routinely add brokerage and clearance fees. The point isn’t that importing is impossible — it’s that the “cheap” US sticker quietly grows by the time it reaches your door, while a price in Canadian dollars shipped from Laval is the price you actually pay.

On the entry-level Bitaxe Gamma and Supra the raw-dollar gap is smaller, and once shipping, FX, and brokerage are added it can run either way — we’d rather tell you that plainly than pretend otherwise. There the deciding factor is everything in the value below: a board hand-built and bench-tested in Canada, no FX or brokerage surprises, bilingual help on your hours, and a real repair bench if anything ever goes wrong. For the simplest start, the Bitaxe Starter Build bundles the board, case, PSU, and heatsink as one tested kit — no parts list to price out piece by piece.

Why Buy Your Bitaxe From D-Central Instead of Importing One

Fast domestic shipping, no border headaches

Ordering hardware from outside Canada often means long transit times, currency conversion fees, and unpredictable customs and brokerage charges. Buying domestically from Laval means your Bitaxe ships across Canada quickly and arrives without a surprise invoice at your door.

Hand-built and bench-tested

We’re Bitcoin mining hackers, not a drop-shipper. Every board we send out is assembled and verified by people who diagnose and repair ASIC hardware every day. Quality over speed — we’d rather get it right than get it out the door.

Bilingual support, in your timezone

Questions about firmware flashing, pool configuration, or thermals? Our team supports you in English and French, on Canadian hours. You’re not filing a ticket into a void overseas.

In-house ASIC repair since 2016

If something ever goes wrong, you have a real repair bench to call. D-Central has been doing in-house ASIC diagnostics and board-level repair since 2016. That same expertise stands behind every Bitaxe we sell. Learn more about our ASIC repair service.

Pay in Bitcoin or by card

It’s a Bitcoin miner — naturally, we accept Bitcoin. We also accept standard card payments if that’s easier for you. Your choice.

Accessories, Cooling, and Getting the Most Out of Your Bitaxe

A single-chip ASIC like the Gamma or Supra is compact, but it still produces heat that needs to move. We stock the accessories that keep your miner stable and quiet:

• Cooling solutions — fans, heatsinks, and airflow setups suited to single-board miners
• Power supplies sized correctly for the Gamma (~18W) and Supra (~12W)
• Stands, cases, and the small extras that make a desk-side miner pleasant to live with

New to how these chips work? Our mining glossary breaks down terms like hashrate, J/TH efficiency, and difficulty in plain language — useful whether this is your first miner or your fiftieth.

Open-Source Firmware, Your Way

The Bitaxe runs ESP-Miner / AxeOS out of the box — open-source firmware maintained by the community, supporting Stratum V1, solo and pool mining, a clean web UI, and over-the-air updates. It’s a great example of what open hardware and open firmware can be, and we think it should stay that way.

If you’re weighing firmware options for your wider fleet — across full-size ASICs as well as open-source boards — our mining firmware comparison lays out the trade-offs honestly, and our overview of open-source firmware options explains what “open” really means. We also build our own firmware, DCENT_OS (GPL-3.0, currently in closed beta with a public beta planned for summer 2026). We offer it as one more option in an open ecosystem, not as a replacement for the tools the community already trusts. Decentralization works best when there are many choices, not one.

Learn Before (and After) You Buy
