After the 2024 halving, block rewards dropped from 6.25 BTC to 3.125 BTC, significantly shrinking mining revenue. However, as BTC prices continued to rise through 2025-2026, profit margins reopened for miners. This article builds a comprehensive mining profitability model covering electricity costs ($0.03-0.08/kWh comparison), miner energy efficiency (J/TH), network difficulty trends, and break-even analysis under different price scenarios. The conclusion: in regions with electricity below $0.05/kWh, using latest-gen ASIC miners (such as S21 XP, S23 Hyd) remains profitable, but older models (like S19, M50) are approaching shutdown price.
