Mining Downturn: Antminer S21+ Hydro’s Daily Yield Hits $10.4

Hashrate Index analysts reveal that the Antminer S21+ Hydro, operating at a 60% margin, now earns about $10.4 per day. This decline in profitability stems from rising network difficulty and a relatively suppressed hashprice. Manufacturers worry that a persistent slump may significantly prolong the payback period for new machines.

Some miners are deactivating older units if their power draw is too high per terahash. Nevertheless, even advanced models like the S21+ Hydro can’t assure robust margins unless operators secure cheaper electricity. A growing number of companies are relocating to regions with lower costs or partnering with specialized data centers to cut overhead.
