The State of Bitcoin Mining in 2024
Bitcoin Mining has significantly declined in profitability since the 2024 Bitcoin halving event. This dip does not only affect the value of Bitcoin alone, but across the board, every Bitcoin miner’s profitability has plummeted. This article will delve into the latest stats in determining how long it would take to mine one Bitcoin in May 2024 and profile two Bitcoin miners for their daily profitability.
Profiling the Bitcoin Miners
This article will review two Bitcoin miners, including how profitable each one is and how long it would take to mine one bitcoin with each of them.
The cryptocurrency market is heterogeneous, with different manufacturers advancing cutting-edge technology to optimize mining processes. We appreciate jingle mining for sponsoring this article and their continued services in the mining industry for over three years.
The miners under review are the Bitmain AntMiner S19 K Pro and Bitmain AntMiner S21. Both are reputable models in the mining industry, which has evolved exceptionally over the years, increasing efficiency and reliability in mining processes.
Soaring Bitcoin’s Prices
As of the time of writing this article, the price of Bitcoin stands at $669,000. Interestingly, Bitcoin is on the brink of hitting the $70,000 mark again. However, it is crucial to remember that Bitcoin and mining profitability can fluctuate dramatically.
The Bitmain Antminer S19 K Pro
The Bitmain Antminer S19 K Pro was purchased on October 18, 2023, for $1,850. Initially, it was capable of 120 TH/s for Bitcoin mining, but a firmware update from Bitmain pushed its upward capacity to 140 terahash.
As of May 26, 2024, if you had the Bitmain Antminer S19 K Pro on operation in your home, the whole month’s estimated rewards in Bitcoin would come to 0.003168. This implies that it would take approximately 315 months or 9,469 days to mine one Bitcoin, assuming everything (market conditions and reward rate) remains constant.
The Bitmain Antminer S21
The Bitmain Antminer S21 seems to outperform the S19 K Pro. It is the best bitcoin miner in the market as of today, coming in at 2 terahash.
This article used metrics from the “normal mode” of the S21 for calculations. Notably, the normal mode gives you 197 terahashes with power consumption of 3535 watts. The S21 comes with a low power mode, impressive for conservation.
These statistics would imply that it would take roughly around 6,597 days to mine one Bitcoin with the S21 Antminer.
Mining Bitcoin in 2024
The rate of mining Bitcoin in 2024 is considerably low. The recent Bitcoin halving event did not help the situation. Even though the situation may be a bit discouraging, this article aimed to provide some realistic figures to guide you in making informed decisions about buying a Bitcoin miner.
Currently, many argue that it would be better to avoid buying miners and dollar-cost average (DCA) into buying Bitcoin instead. While this strategy may not be bad considering the current market conditions, it’s also worth noting that mining other alt coins can prove to be more profitable. Concentrating on altcoins such as nervos with the K7 or Dogecoin with the alphapex dg1 and then receiving payments in Bitcoin can increase profitability.
Conclusion
In conclusion, any individual intending to venture into Bitcoin mining must carefully consider the operating costs, especially electricity. The mining hardware’s purchase price might seem like the most significant investment, but the operating expenses can be significantly higher.
For those who continue to find joy in mining, it is advisable to keep up to date with market trends and adjust strategies accordingly. For instance, there might be more value in mining altcoins that offer better profitability and getting paid in straight Bitcoin. Regardless of the market conditions, the joy of mining continues, with the hope of a full bull run in 2025.
I don't pay for electricity for the next 2ish years and thought mining might be a good option for me, any tips or advice? (Anyone)

a lot of people are talking about BTC Cloud Stack on the Internet, is this legit?
lol Btc Cloud Stack is the best thing that has ever happened to newbies in the crypto world
sometimes watching all this just breaks my heart that no one is talking about BTC Cloud Stack.
What Happens When ALL 21 Million Bitcoins Are Mined, this is the reason why I’m using BTC Cloud Stack to gain from the 24 million BTC
In your last two videos you suggested Btc Cloud stack , i must say I am impressed with there quality of payouts
people are running to BTC Cloud stack to mine their bitcoins because they can’t trade anymore, and I think that's a smart move.
I can't remember when I last used physical machines for mining. I will stick with Btc Cloud Stack mining services. They are the best.
Is there a bitcoin mining rig that only uses 0.35kwh?
I will be forever grateful to you, you changed my whole life and I will continue to preach on your behalf for the whole world to hear you saved me from huge financial debt with just a small investment, thank you Victoria Taylor
"What is going on minors!" cracked me up
5:50 Wrong. The amount of 0.003168 is for 31 days and not for 1 day.
I think I,ll buy high speed servers and stream adult content. The returns will be way better.
That’s dumb because that means selling their stupid mining machines makes them more money then they actually make mining so why would anyone by them , if they can build the miners then they should just be mining…
nice
Interesting
Even if you have free electricity still not worth it and soon you gonna lose double to mine 1btc , it's only good idea if you bet that Bitcoin in the future will go up significantly but as well you can just buy it instead of investing in equipment

think about the bags people making right now on mining
Did you check Hugewin they have over 7000 casino games to make mega profits
I am convinced bitcoin mining is a scam to make power companies huge profit. Which it does.
do you have a video on best alt coins to mine?
there is no given time. you could realistically mine one bitcoin in ten seconds after joining a pool or start mining its whatever device completes the block is who mines it. Statistically the more hash power in the pool the odds are better.
I don’t know a thing about mining but I was thinking about building a small operation out of pocket on my land and powering it with solar
