The bitcoin network also qualifies as the world’s first exascale computer, meaning it’s capable of a quintillion floating point calculations per second.

Bitcoin uses integer operations, not floating point. And bear in mind that the ASICs can only be used for mining, not for general computing tasks.
ROI is not a verb, the term you're looking for is 'to break even'.
