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, miner heat can offset part of the heat a room would otherwise need from another electric heater. The economics depend on your electricity rate, room heat demand, BTC price, network difficulty, and noise constraints.

| Period | Revenue | Electricity Cost | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daily | $0.01 | $1.85 | $-1.84 |
| Weekly | $0.06 | $12.94 | $-12.87 |
| Monthly | $0.27 | $55.44 | $-55.17 |
| Yearly | $3.23 | $674.52 | $-671.29 |
Heating offset estimates the value of heat replacing an electric space heater during heating season (~6 months/year in Canada). Actual savings depend on your heating setup and climate.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the current mining economics for the Baikal BK-D?
At $0.07/kWh, the Baikal BK-D currently shows an estimated daily net cost of $1.84 before pool fees and hardware cost. Lower electricity rates, network changes, BTC price changes, or useful heat recovery can change the result.
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 the miner and wiring.
