Released January 2026, MicroBT‘s M79 hashrate output is rated at 920 TH/s with a 14,500-watt power draw. Specs place its efficiency at around 15.76 J/TH, making it the least efficient hydro unit in the top half of this list. Daily profit comes in at $19.55 under current conditions.
Proto Rig — $18.28/day
Released September 2025, the Proto Rig, manufactured by Block, is the only air-cooled machine in the top 14. Specs list it at 819 TH/s with a 12,000-watt power draw. The manufacturer states its nine hashboards are hot-swappable with on-rack repair times under 90 seconds. Company specifications also note the unit is immersion-ready. Daily profit is $18.28 at current hashprice and $0.04 per kWh.
Bitdeer Sealminer A4 Pro Hydro — $17.62/day
Scheduled for May 2026 release, the A4 Pro Hydro is listed at 680 TH/s with a 7,412-watt draw. Specs indicate an efficiency of around 10.9 J/TH. It would generate $17.62 per day based on current profitability data if it were available today.
Bitdeer Sealminer A3 Pro Hydro — $16.09/day
Released last September, the Bitdeer-manufactured A3 Pro Hydro is rated at 660 TH/s at 8,250 watts with a listed efficiency of 12.5 J/TH. Current hashprice data places its daily return at $16.09 at $0.04 per kWh.
MicroBT Whatsminer M7DS — $15.91/day
Released in March 2026, the M7DS is listed at 680 TH/s with a 9,200-watt draw and a rated efficiency of around 13.5 J/TH. MicroBT positions it within its enterprise-focused M7D hydro series. Daily profit for this machine on April 23 is $15.91 under current conditions.

Released in March 2026, the base Whatsminer model M7D is listed at 634 TH/s at 9,200 watts with a rated efficiency of around 14.5 J/TH. It sits at $14.23 per day based on the current hashprice and a $0.04 per kWh electricity cost.
Bitmain Antminer S21 XP+ Hydro — $12.91/day
Released last summer in July, the S21 XP+ Hydro is rated at 500 TH/s with a 5,500-watt draw and a listed efficiency of 11 J/TH. Current data places its daily return at $12.91 at $0.04 per kWh.
MicroBT Whatsminer M73S+ — $12.73/day
Released December 2025, the M73S+ is listed at 540 TH/s with a 7,200-watt draw and a rated efficiency of around 13.33 J/TH. It sits at the bottom of the current profitability table but remains positive at $12.73 per day under the $0.04 per kWh electricity rate.
For now, the math works in miners’ favor. Stronger hashprice, efficient hydro-cooled rigs, and low-cost power can keep margins intact even as difficulty holds firm. But this window depends on tight variables, electricity rates, network growth, and of course, bitcoin’s price. If any shift materially, today’s profitability table can be reordered quickly. Until then, modern ASIC fleets are operating in a rare stretch where scale, efficiency, and timing are aligned.
