Mining Bitcoin Mining Profitability Rises: Top Earning Devices Named

Intelion, a data center operator, has named the leading devices for Bitcoin mining profitability.

Price and Difficulty

In April 2026, the Bitcoin mining market continued its recovery after the winter correction period. The mining economics were influenced by the dynamics of Bitcoin network difficulty, the rise in $BTC market value, and the equipment placement parameters, as stated in the monthly equipment profitability report by Intelion.

In April, the Bitcoin network experienced two difficulty changes: on April 3, the index increased by 3.87%, and on April 17, it decreased by 2.43%. The decrease in network difficulty supported mining economics, with the Hashprice Index surpassing $36 per PH/s per day for the first time since late January.

Positive profitability dynamics coincided with Bitcoin strengthening. The average coin price in April increased by $3,883.68 compared to March. According to Coinglass, Bitcoin profitability for April was 11%, the highest in the past year. The report indicated that the rise in Bitcoin’s market value further amplified the positive impact for miners.

Profitability Leaders

The company tested 7 models of mining equipment (three from Bitmain and four from MicroBT). The BTC mining range for devices was 0.002792352–0.00369576 $BTC per month, with profitability ranging from 0.49% to 1.98% per month, or 5.83% to 23.75% annually. According to the report, compared to March, the overall profitability of ASIC miners increased.

The highest efficiency, according to Intelion, was shown by Bitmain’s Antminer S21 series, which has maintained its leadership in mining economics for the last few months:

  • Bitmain Antminer S21 XP 270 Th/s
    • Profitability — 1.98% per month / 23.75% annually
    • Mined — 0.00369576 $BTC/month.
  • Bitmain Antminer S21 PRO 234 Th/s MIX
    • Profitability — 1.43% per month / 17.15% annually
    • Mined — 0.003202992 $BTC/month.
  • Bitmain Antminer S21+ 235 TH/s MIX
    • Profitability — 1.15% per month / 13.78% annually
    • Mined — 0.00321668 $BTC/month.

In April, as in the previous month, Bitmain Antminer S21 XP 270 TH/s maintained its leadership in both the amount of mined $BTC and profitability among ASIC miners with air cooling.

The highest performance among MicroBT devices was shown by Whatsminer M70 222 TH/s, which took 4th place in the overall list.

Following in descending order of profitability:

  • MicroBT Whatsminer M60S+ 204TH/s (0.98%/month),
  • MicroBT Whatsminer M61S+ 238TH/s (0.84%/month),
  • MicroBT Whatsminer M61S+ 240TH/s (0.49%/month).

Bitcoin mining difficulty has increased. What is happening in the network

As a result of the latest adjustment, mining difficulty increased to 138.96 T (trillion), according to Cloverpool. This means miners need to calculate about 139 trillion hash functions on average to mine the new 3.125 BTC — roughly $229,000 at the current price of about $73,600.

Bitcoin Miners’ Revenues Fell 9.44% After Sharp Mining Difficulty Increase

After the hashprice metric approached the $40 per petahash per second (PH/s) mark, the latest decline in Bitcoin’s price caused hashprice to fall, reducing mining profitability since May 14. The following day, the situation worsened further due to a difficulty adjustment, which increased mining difficulty by 3.12% compared to the previous epoch.
