Calculate the profitability of your bitcoin mining in seconds. With a live comparison: professional hosting vs. home mining — based on the current BTC price and network difficulty.
Mining profitability depends on multiple factors that are constantly changing. Understanding them leads to better decisions.
The BTC price directly determines your revenue in EUR. At $100,000 the same miner generates twice the revenue as at $50,000 — on identical operating costs. Mining is therefore also a bet on rising prices, but with the benefit of daily BTC inflows.
Mining difficulty adjusts every 2,016 blocks (~2 weeks). When global hashrate rises, difficulty rises — and your share of the block reward shrinks. Since the 2024 halving the block reward is 3.125 BTC, making efficient hardware even more important.
Power is the largest recurring cost. In Europe, residential households pay over €0.30/kWh — profitable mining is essentially impossible. In professional data centers in the US and Asia the rate is €0.062–€0.066/kWh. That gap adds up to over €6,700 in savings per year per miner.
Modern ASIC miners like the Antminer S21 XP (13.5 J/TH) produce significantly more bitcoin per kilowatt-hour than older models. The investment in efficient hardware pays off through lower running costs — especially as network difficulty rises.
ASIC miners are depreciable business assets. Over a 3-year useful life you can deduct €30,000 in hardware investment as €10,000 per year. Hosting costs are also deductible as business expenses. A tax advisor can model the optimal structure for your specific case.
Beyond power costs, several factors favor professional hosting: no noise (75+ dB around the clock), no waste heat (3 kW per miner), no maintenance burden, professional cooling, and 24/7 monitoring. The hardware stays your property.
The honest answer: it depends on the conditions. With the right parameters — cheap power, efficient hardware, professional operation — bitcoin mining is profitable in 2026.
After the April 2024 halving the block reward dropped from 6.25 to 3.125 BTC. That means: only those who operate efficiently stay profitable. Miners with high power consumption and outdated hardware are pushed out of the network — while operators running modern ASIC miners (under 16 J/TH) on cheap industrial power can still earn attractive returns.
For business owners and self-employed investors, an additional advantage applies: hardware depreciation reduces tax burden while mining revenue flows in as additional cash. Combined with professional hosting (no own infrastructure needed), mining becomes a planable asset class with manageable risk.
