Bitcoin Mining Brings Iranian Miners 5000% Profitability

Independent analyst Shanaka Perera explained how much Iran is earning from Bitcoin mining, despite the cryptocurrency having declined 46% since October 6, 2025.

According to Perera, around 700,000 miners operate in Iran with a combined capacity of 2,000 megawatts, producing approximately $1 billion worth of $BTC annually. With Bitcoin priced at $67,740 in the morning, this suggests Iranian miners generate about 14,762 coins per year.

The profitability is particularly striking. Perera estimates that the cost of mining one Bitcoin in Iran is only $1,320 due to cheap electricity. This means profitability could reach 5,032% if coins are sold at $67,740.

At the same time, Perera believes Iran could lose its Bitcoin mining industry in the event of a U.S. airstrike, as power outages caused by explosions could disable mining equipment. In such a scenario, the Bitcoin network’s hash rate could drop by 2–5%, and mining difficulty would decrease accordingly.

However, a near-term U.S. attack appears unlikely. According to prediction market platform Polymarket, the probability of a U.S. strike on Iran before March 15 is currently estimated at 38%. According to Happy Coin News, the likelihood of military confrontation before the end of the year stands at 69%.
