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 S19 Hydro | Metric | Whatsminer M60S++ |
|---|---|---|
| $5,000 | Upfront cost (MSRP) | $7,000 |
| -$7.13 | Daily net profit | -$1.22 |
| -$7,603 | Net after 1 year | -$7,444 |
| -$10,205 | Net after 2 years | -$7,888 |
| -$12,808 | Net after 3 years | -$8,332 |
| Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) | Payback period | Does not pay back at current rates (negative daily profit) |
Projections assume continuous operation, a flat $0.10/kWh rate, and no hardware degradation, pool fees, or BTC price change. Real-world ROI varies.
