Data on the profitability of digital mining is changing rapidly. This is due to two main factors – the bitcoin exchange rate and the cost of equipment. In the spring of 2023, the prices of miners decreased, the reduction amounted to an average of 15 to 35%. At the same time, the value of BTC began to strengthen: in the first half of the year, quotes rose from $ 16.6 thousand to $ 26.9 thousand. The material calculates the profitability and payback of the most popular models of equipment for mining cryptocurrencies in June 2023. It also tells what is important to consider when choosing a seller of equipment.
Profitability analysis
In 2022, the profitability of mining in the moment decreased. The slowdown in payback occurs at the bottom of every bear cycle. This has affected both crypto mining using graphics cards and ASIC hardware. On the one hand, the demand for miners at times like these decreases. Nevertheless, this period is traditionally considered the best time to upgrade equipment. The main reason is that ASIC manufacturers start to significantly reduce prices.
At the beginning of 2023, the price of bitcoin began to rise and continues to strengthen over the last 6 months. Against the backdrop of falling hardware costs, this has allowed ASIC mining to return to positive profitability. There are 4 factors to consider when assessing the profitability of crypto mining:
- Price of the devices
- Hardware hash rate
- Electricity cost
- The exchange rate of the crypto coin being mined.
Specialized intermediaries (for example, the company R7Miner) help with the selection of equipment. You can also use the mining calculators on the seller’s website.
For calculations in this material, online services WhatToMine or MinerStat were used. The estimation was made taking into account that the cost of 1 kWh of electricity is 4.3 RUB. It is important to realize that tariffs dynamically differ depending on the region where the equipment is located.
R7Miner provides consultations on selecting the most efficient location and placement in the data center. The company also has a function to start mining without the buyer’s participation.

Mining with SHA-256 algorithm
Bitcoin mining is ranked #1 in the world. The SHA-256 hashing algorithm, which is the basis of the Bitcoin network, requires a lot of hardware performance. The capacity of the models already exceeds more than 100 TH/s. They are produced by several companies. The most popular are considered to be the Antminer and WhatsMiner series. In addition to the difference in cost, there are also significant differences within the lines.
