Bitmain Slashes Mining Hardware Prices Drastically
The world's largest manufacturer of Bitcoin mining hardware is responding to the industry's profit crisis with significant price reductions.
Bitmain, the world's leading manufacturer of mining hardware, has noticeably reduced prices for several ASIC models. Affected models include miners from the Antminer S19 and S21 series. Even newly introduced high-end devices such as liquid-cooled S21 models are being offered with discounts of around seven US dollars per terahash [1].
The pricing offensive comes during a phase of extreme profit declines for mining companies. The hashprice, a key metric for daily mining revenues, has fallen to approximately 35 US dollars per terahash – significantly below the economic break-even point of 40 US dollars [1].
The 22 largest publicly traded mining firms have suffered considerable share price losses in 2025. MARA stock is trading at 9.59 US dollars, roughly 50 percent below the previous year's level [1].
According to industry reports, Bitmain is now also offering the devices through package deals and auction models. For Bitcoin investors, however, the decline in hashrate could be a positive signal: Data from VanEck shows that since 2014, Bitcoin has more frequently recorded price increases when computing power declined [1].
