Baikal BK-D
Heater-Class Miner
At 1,100W, this miner outputs approximately 3753 BTU/hr of heat — equivalent to a standard electric space heater. Every watt consumed by an ASIC miner is converted to heat with 100% efficiency, making it a space heater that also mines Bitcoin.
During heating season, the electricity cost of running this miner replaces your heating bill — and you earn Bitcoin on top. In cold climates like Canada, this dual-purpose approach can dramatically improve mining economics. D-Central offers purpose-built Bitcoin Space Heater editions with noise reduction, duct adapters, and heater-mode firmware for seamless home integration.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Baikal BK-D profitable?
At $0.07/kWh, the Baikal BK-D currently operates at a daily loss of $1.84. However, profitability can improve with lower electricity rates or rising BTC prices. If used as a space heater, the heating offset may make it economically viable.
Can I mine Bitcoin at home with the Baikal BK-D?
The Baikal BK-D has a home mining score of 31/100. With 0 dB noise and 1,100W power draw, it may require a dedicated space like a garage, basement, or outdoor enclosure. Consider noise insulation and proper ventilation.
Can the Baikal BK-D heat my home?
The Baikal BK-D outputs approximately 3753 BTU/hr of heat. For reference, a typical space heater produces 5,000-5,500 BTU/hr. All electrical energy consumed by the miner is converted to heat, making it 100% efficient as a heater. D-Central offers Bitcoin Space Heater builds designed specifically for home heating integration.
What power supply does the Baikal BK-D need?
The Baikal BK-D draws 1,100W of power. You need a power supply rated for at least 1,210W with appropriate voltage (200-240V AC). D-Central stocks compatible power supplies in our shop. Always use a quality PSU from a reputable manufacturer to protect your investment.
