Bitmain Slashes ASIC Prices Amid Mining Industry Downturn

[_act_]

This news is 3 days old but probably it may still be beneficial for some people on this forum.

Bitmain is reducing the price of some of its ASICs probably because of the recent fall of bitcoin price and as pressure builds across the mining sector, according to recent promotional campaigns and internal price lists circulated to customers. Discounted deals have pushed some S19 and S21 machines to as low as $3–$4 per terahash, with deliveries scheduled into 2026.

Probably this would be a good time to buy the mining hardware.

Large mining companies are already buying this equipment with huge discounts and payment plans. This may be relevant for smaller miners, but the current profitability situation isn't ideal. However, popular models have been sold out on the seller's website.

Man those prices are actually insane compared to last year, i am just a new guy here but $3 per terahash sounds like a steal if you have cheap electricity at home lol

The price of ASICs usually depends on the price of Bitcoin, and that's the whole secret of this market. ASIC prices are lower now than they were in early 2025.
But you're right that you need to learn to calculate electricity costs and profit. Don't forget about the additional expenses that may be needed for ventilation and security.

That I personally would attribute to FOMO. Most of them may see mining less profitable when bitcoin drops in price but I personally don't fancy the logic. Mining is based off SATs rewards plus solo miners barely run into profit especially in countries where electricity tariff is on the rise.
Regardless of you could stack a couple SATs before a pump it's basically gonna make more sense than rushing to buy chips when it's a bull run. I want to believe the only thing keeping solo miners sometimes is the hopes of one day hitting the block reward.

I read that large companies purchase equipment under contract, and their price is independent of the price of Bitcoin. This entire market is designed solely for small miners, who are constantly taking risks. If a small miner has cheap electricity, they will make a profit.
