Analytical Proof & Invariants

Machine Precision
Governing Mathematical Formula:
Daily BTC = (Hashrate in TH/s / Network Hashrate) × (Block Reward × 144 blocks/day) | Profit = Revenue - (kW × 24 × $/kWh)

Step-by-Step Mathematical Derivation

1
Daily BTC Block Share Formulation

Global Blocks = 144 blocks/day (10-min block time). Block Reward = 3.125 BTC post-halving. Total daily coins = 144 × 3.125 = 450 BTC.

2
Miner Network Share

Share = 140 TH/s / (650 EH/s × 1,000,000 TH/EH) = 2.1538 × 10⁻⁷ of global network.

3
Gross Daily Revenue

Daily BTC = 450 × 2.1538 × 10⁻⁷ = 0.00009692 BTC. At $65,000/BTC: Gross Revenue = $6.30/day.

4
Electricity Outflow & Net Margin

Daily kWh = (3,010W × 24h) / 1000 = 72.24 kWh. Power Cost = 72.24 × $0.065 = $4.70/day. Net Daily Profit = $6.30 - $4.70 = $1.60/day.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Bitcoin Halving affect mining profitability? +
Every 210,000 blocks (roughly every 4 years), the block subsidy cuts in half (from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC in April 2024), cutting gross block reward revenue in half unless Bitcoin spot price doubles or transaction fees spike.
What is the maximum electricity rate for profitable Bitcoin mining? +
With modern high-efficiency hardware (20 J/TH), mining remains profitable only with power tariffs below $0.06 to $0.08/kWh. Retail rates ($0.14+) almost always generate negative operational cash flow.
