Bitmain has recently significantly lowered the prices of its Bitcoin mining machines, with many S19/S21 series models now in the "sell-off" price range. Internal pricing shows the S19e XP Hydro and 3U S19 XP Hydro as low as $3/TH/s, and the S19 XP+ Hydro around $4/TH/s; the S21 immersion machine is around $7/TH/s, and the S21+ Hydro around $8/TH/s. Previously, the company offered an S19 XP+ Hydro bundled package for approximately $4/TH/s, and in November, it launched an auction-style sale of the S19k Pro with a starting price of $5.5/TH/s. Analysts point out that with network hashrate remaining near historical highs while Bitcoin prices have fallen, hashrate prices are hovering near multi-year lows, increasing pressure on the mining industry. This environment squeezes miners' profit margins, reduces demand for new equipment, especially inefficient models, and intensifies competition between ASIC miner manufacturers and secondhand market sellers.
