Electricity
Power to produce one BTC, nothing else.
Model three cost tiers and compare your electricity cost against sourced public-miner figures.

Power to produce one BTC, nothing else.
Electricity + hosting + pool fees + maintenance + site labor + other site opex. Excludes depreciation, corporate overhead, financing, tax and stock compensation.
Site cash cost + mining-asset depreciation + cash corporate overhead allocated to mining. Still excludes financing, income tax, stock compensation, treasury revaluation and impairment.
Public-miner comparisons cover electricity only. Site cash and full operating costs use the costs in your setup. Company figures come from the linked filings; example operating costs are illustrative assumptions.
Companies report different site boundaries and power-credit treatments. The source table below explains the scope of each figure.
We model 30 days at the entered hashrate, uptime, efficiency and difficulty. Expected gross BTC equals hashrate × time online × (block subsidy + assumed transaction fees) ÷ (difficulty × 2³²), with hashrate converted to hashes per second. Subsidy follows block height and halves every 210,000 blocks. The default transaction-fee assumption is zero (subsidy only). This produces less estimated BTC and a higher cost per BTC than the same setup with positive transaction fees. You can enter a fee assumption under Network assumptions.
Power use equals hashrate × efficiency × hours online × facility multiplier. Monthly fixed costs continue during downtime. Pool fees are counted once as a cost valued at the BTC price; gross production is not reduced a second time. Site cash break-even is fixed and energy costs ÷ [gross BTC × (1 − pool fee)]. Full operating break-even adds depreciation and allocated cash overhead. Electricity break-even covers power alone.
Bundled hosting replaces the costs marked included. Its electricity component cannot be compared separately. The model assumes no idle power outside uptime; add unavoidable fixed power charges to other site opex. Hardware depreciation uses straight-line cost over useful life with zero residual value; booked depreciation can include infrastructure.
This is a model from what you typed, not your books. Current estimates and historical company results use different periods. A lower number is not a profitability forecast.

Three sourced figures for Apr–Jun 2026, in USD per BTC. Scope notes explain what each figure covers.
| Company / period | Tier | Figure | Scope and limitations | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MARAApr–Jun 2026 | Electricity | $38,690 | Purchased electricity at MARA’s owned and operated Bitcoin mining sites; hosted sites are excluded.Reported owned-site purchased-energy cost per BTC. The scope excludes the hosted fleet. | Apr–Jun 2026 source ↗ |
| CleanSparkApr–Jun 2026 | Electricity | $44,317 | Electricity at CleanSpark’s owned Bitcoin mining facilities, divided by gross BTC including transaction fees.Uses the energy-only row; excludes $89/BTC of non-energy utilities in the headline direct-energy figure. | Apr–Jun 2026 source ↗ |
| Riot PlatformsApr–Jun 2026 | Electricity | $46,313 | Power expense for Riot’s self-mining operations before power-curtailment credits, divided by reported BTC produced.Derived: $73.499 million power expense ÷ 1,587 BTC. Power credits are excluded; production follows the company’s reporting convention. | Apr–Jun 2026 source ↗ |
