Cost & ROI Over Time
Hardware cost is only half the story — here is how each miner's upfront price plays out against cumulative profit at a $0.10/kWh rate.
| Antminer AL1 | Metric | Bitmain Antminer D5 (119Gh) |
|---|---|---|
| $10,000 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | — |
| -$7.49 | Daily net profit | -$3.75 |
| -$12,733 | Net after 1 year | -$1,370 |
| -$15,467 | Net after 2 years | -$2,741 |
| -$18,200 | Net after 3 years | -$4,111 |
| Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) | Payback period | — |
Projections assume continuous operation, a flat $0.10/kWh rate, and no hardware degradation, pool fees, or BTC price change. Real-world ROI varies.
