Your miner hashrate divided by the live network hashrate from full nodes or block explorers.
Block reward × (86,400 ÷ block time) × hash share. Merge-mined Scrypt (LTC + DOGE) sums both chains' rewards.
Daily coins × USD price (refreshed every 10 minutes).
Power cost = (watts ÷ 1000) × 24 × your USD/kWh rate. Pool fees = revenue × pool fee.
(Revenue − power cost − pool fees) ÷ watts - the headline metric used to rank all hardware.
Michael Saylor-led Strategy (formerly MicroStrategy) has made back-to-back weekly Bitcoin purchases for the first time since June, rebuilding its holdings after selling some of the cryptocurrency earlier this quarter. On Sept. 28, the company said it acquired 1,665 Bitcoin for $142.7 million during the week ended Sept. 27, paying an average of $85,681 per token. That followed […] The post Strategy makes first back-to-back Bitcoin buys since June as accumulation picks up appeared first on CryptoSlate .
By Jonatan Randin, Senior Market Analyst at PrimeXBT In mid September the setup looked bad for Bitcoin. The CLARITY Act failed in the Senate on 15 September and the Fed hiked to 3.75 to 4.00% the next day. Bitcoin (BTC) briefly traded under $75,000. A week later it was above $87,000. Then the bond market moved, and Bitcoin stopped going up. What happened in bonds On 23 September the 10 year US Treasury yield jumped more than 18 basis points, the biggest one day rise since April 2025. It kept going and rose above 5.2% the next day, the highest since 2007. The 30 year reached about 5.50%, a level last seen in 2004. There was no single trigger. Strong PMI data, a weak five year auction and higher oil all played a part. The Treasury even bought back $4 billion of long bonds on 24 September, and yields still rose. Why the hike didn’t matter much Everyone saw it coming. By the eve of the meeting, futures markets priced the hike at close to 90%. Some of Bitcoin’s weakness in the weeks before arguably reflected that repricing. ETF flows show it. Spot Bitcoin ETFs lost about $750 million over 15 and 16 September, then took in $2.39 billion in the week to 25 September, their biggest week since October 2025 according to Farside Investors. Why the bond move is different Look at those flows day by day: $999 million on Monday, then $715 million, $347 million, $191 million and $135 million on Friday. The buying never stopped. It just got smaller as yields went up. A hike is one decision with a known size. A bond selloff has no size, and the market decides how far it goes. Yields above 5% compete directly with an asset that pays nothing. There’s another way to read it. If the Treasury has to keep borrowing at higher rates, the deficit grows and so does the supply of bonds. Many in crypto see that as the long term case for Bitcoin. For now, though, the short term effect is the one showing up in the flows. So far Bitcoin is holding the move. It isn’t extending it. What the chart says On the 3 day chart, Bitcoin broke above the $70,000 region around 20 August. It then spent a few weeks consolidating near $80,000 before breaking higher again last week. That second breakout matters. It’s arguably the first higher high on the higher timeframes since the bear market began, and price reached above $87,000 before pulling back. Bitcoin (BTC/USD) 3 day chart with the 20 and 50 EMA. The breakout above $80,000 marks the first higher high since the bear market began, and the 20 EMA has crossed above the 50 EMA. Source: TradingView The moving averages support the same picture. The 20 EMA has crossed above the 50 EMA on the 3 day chart for the first time since they crossed down in November 2025, which is roughly where the bear market started. Price is now retracing the latest leg up. The next higher timeframe support sits at $80,000, and the 50% Fibonacci retracement of the move from around $75,000 to $87,000 falls just above it, near $81,000. As long as Bitcoin holds the $80,000 area, the overall structure could still be read as constructive. A sustained move back below it would put that higher high into question. Navigating Bitcoin’s next move with PrimeXBT As Bitcoin’s recovery meets pressure from rising bond yields, PrimeXBT, a global multi-asset broker and crypto asset service provider, allows traders to position for either a continuation of the rally or a deeper pullback. Clients can trade BTC through Crypto Futures and CFDs, taking long or short positions with adjustable leverage, as well as buy, exchange and hold Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Crypto Futures maker fees are 0.01% and taker fees start from 0.045%, falling to 0.015% at VIP 5 tier through PrimeXBT’s volume-based VIP program. Crypto CFDs carry no trading commission, with BTC/USD spreads available as low as $19 at the same tier.

Mining difficulty is Bitcoin's automatic adjustment mechanism that keeps block times stable. At 126.23T as of August 2026, it determines how hard it is to mine each block. Here is exactly how the system recalibrates every two weeks.
Mining pool payouts determine exactly how much you earn for every hash you contribute. This guide covers PPS, PPLNS, and Proportional methods with live Bitcoin numbers so you can pick the method that matches your strategy.
A mining pool combines the computing power of many miners so everyone shares in the block rewards proportionally. Solo mining is essentially lottery ticket math that nobody wins at anymore.
Direct answers to common mining questions - updated with live data when available.
CoinWarz is a Proof-of-Work (PoW) mining profitability platform. It provides live mining calculators, network difficulty and hashrate charts, USD price history, and ASIC hardware rankings sorted by Profit per Watt - net daily mining profit divided by power draw in watts.
CoinWarz estimates daily mining profit as: (your hashrate ÷ network hashrate) × block reward × blocks per day × coin USD price − electricity cost − pool fees. Blocks per day = 86,400 ÷ target block time in seconds. Electricity cost = (watts ÷ 1000) × 24 × USD per kWh. Pool fees = gross revenue × pool fee rate.
Bitcoin (BTC) is $83,392 USD on CoinWarz (updated Sep 28, 21:42 UTC). The SHA-256 network difficulty is 132.76T with an estimated hashrate of 1.11 ZH/s. The current block subsidy is 3.125 BTC per block (~10 minute target block time).
Profit per Watt is net daily mining profit in USD divided by miner power draw in watts (USD/W/day). CoinWarz uses it as the headline metric for hardware rankings because electricity is the largest ongoing cost and efficiency determines real-world returns more than raw hashrate alone.
CoinWarz tracks 14 active PoW coins: Bitcoin (BTC), Zcash (ZEC), Monero (XMR), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), Dash (DASH), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Ravencoin (RVN), Alephium (ALPH), EthereumPoW (ETHW), Vertcoin (VTC), Bellscoin (BELLS), Syscoin (SYS). Each has a mining calculator, optional difficulty/hashrate/price charts, and algorithm-matched hardware rankings.
USD prices are fetched from the CoinGecko public API every 10 minutes and stored in the CoinWarz database.
Block difficulty and estimated network hashrate come from synced full-node RPC data (Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin) or trusted block explorers (Zcash via Blockchair, Monero via LocalMonero). Values are recorded per block and shown on charts and calculators.
Yes. Litecoin and Dogecoin are AuxPoW merge-mined on the Scrypt algorithm. One Litecoin hashrate share earns both LTC (≈6.25 LTC/block, 150s target) and DOGE (≈10,000 DOGE/block, 60s target) block rewards against the Litecoin network hashrate.
The most profitable miner depends on your electricity rate, coin price, and network difficulty. CoinWarz ranks all listed hardware by Profit per Watt at your USD/kWh - use the Miners page to compare ASICs across algorithms or filter by coin.
