Whatsminer M50S+
Enhanced M50S variant with higher hashrate. Integrated PSU design from MicroBT. Good efficiency for its generation.
Professional-Grade Miner
This miner draws 3,276W and produces 75 dB of noise — it is designed for dedicated mining environments, not living spaces. Professional-grade miners deliver the highest hashrate and revenue per unit but require proper infrastructure: a 240V circuit, adequate ventilation or exhaust ducting, and a space where noise is not a concern (garage, basement, warehouse, or outdoor enclosure).
For home miners looking for a quieter alternative, consider our Bitcoin Space Heater builds or explore open-source miners like the Bitaxe that are purpose-built for residential environments.
Heater-Class Miner
At 3,276W, this miner outputs approximately 11177.7 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.

Home Mining Assessment
Enhanced M50S variant with higher hashrate. Integrated PSU design from MicroBT. Good efficiency for its generation.
The Whatsminer M50S+ is a SHA-256 cryptocurrency miner manufactured by MicroBT. It delivers a hashrate of 138 TH/s with a power consumption of 3276W, achieving an efficiency of 23.74 J/TH.
Built on the WM3418 ASIC chip, uses air cooling, operates at 75 dB noise level, weighs 13 kg, measures 430x155x226.
With a home mining score of 36/100, this miner is best suited for dedicated mining spaces for residential use. It produces 11177.7 BTU/h of heat output, making it effective for supplemental space heating.
At 23.74 J/TH, the Whatsminer M50S+ sits in the previous-generation efficiency tier; it runs best where electricity is inexpensive, or as a dual-purpose heat source.
Its waste heat (around 11177.7 BTU/h) can be ducted into a room, turning money you would otherwise spend on heating into hashrate.
