On April 23, 2026, Bitcoin's hashprice reached $36.46 per PH/s, enabling all 14 leading ASIC miners to generate positive daily profits at an electricity cost of $0.04/kWh, according to data from asicminervalue.com. Net profits range from $12.73 to $31.62 per day.
Top Earner: Bitmain Antminer S23 Hydro 3U
Bitmain's Antminer S23 Hydro 3U leads with a daily profit of $31.62. Launched in January 2026, it delivers 1.16 PH/s at 11,020W and an efficiency of 9.5 J/TH. It requires three-phase 380–415V power and liquid cooling, emitting about 50 dB noise.
Runner-Up: MicroBT Whatsminer M79S
The MicroBT Whatsminer M79S (December 2025) earns $29.91/day, with 1.35 PH/s, 20,000W power draw, and 14.81 J/TH efficiency. It is designed for dedicated liquid cooling loops.
Bitdeer Sealminer A4 Series: New Efficiency Record
Bitdeer's upcoming Sealminer A4 Ultra Hydro (May 2026) boasts an industry-leading 9.45 J/TH efficiency, projecting $24.20/day with 886 TH/s and 8,372W. The A4 Pro Hydro and A3 Pro Hydro (already shipping) contribute $17.62/day and $16.09/day respectively.
Other Profitable Rigs
The Antminer S23e Hydro 2U ($23.17/day), S21e XP Hydro 3U ($20.56/day), MicroBT M79 ($19.55/day), and Block's Proto Rig ($18.28/day) round out the mid-to-upper tier. Notably, the Proto Rig is the only air-cooled machine among the top 14, featuring hot-swappable hashboards and immersion-ready design. At the bottom, the MicroBT M73S+ ($12.73/day) and Antminer S21 XP+ Hydro ($12.91/day) maintain slim margins.
Current conditions favor miners: elevated hashprice, efficient liquid-cooled hardware, and cheap electricity support profitability. However, this window depends on volatile variables like energy tariffs, network growth, and Bitcoin price. Should any shift significantly, today's profit table could quickly invert. For now, modern ASIC fleets operate in a rare alignment of scale, efficiency, and timing.
