Is the Whatsminer M60S profitable?
MicroBT's competitor in the current generation, shipped in bins from ~170 to 186 TH/s at ~18.5 J/TH (approx. manufacturer specs). The Whatsminer case against the S21 family is rarely the spec sheet: it is the integrated PSU, MicroBT's warranty handling, and used-market parts supply — the daily economics at each bin are computed live below.
The only honest answer is a live one: revenue moves with the Bitcoin price and network hashrate every day. Bin honesty matters here: ordering “an M60S” gets you whatever bin the seller has — price the 170 and the 186 separately above before comparing against an S21 quote. The break-even electricity figure is the line — pay less per kWh than that and the machine earns, pay more and it burns.
Specs & physical reality
| Spec | Value |
|---|---|
| Factory bin — 186 TH/s bin | 186 TH/s · 3,441 W · 18.5 J/TH |
| Factory bin — 170 TH/s bin | 170 TH/s · 3,247 W · 19.1 J/TH |
| Input power | 200–240 V dedicated circuit (integrated PSU) |
| Current draw | ≈15.0 A at 230 V (186 TH bin) |
| Heat output | ≈11,741 BTU/hr (3,441 W — all of it becomes room heat) |
| Noise | ≈75 dB (manufacturer claim) — server-fan loud, not for living spaces |
| Warranty | ~12-month manufacturer term is typical — confirm in writing; used units carry none |
| Spec source | MicroBT — approx. manufacturer figures; real units vary by bin, firmware and temperature |
FAQ
- What does the revenue figure include?
- Block subsidy only — 144 blocks/day × 3.125 BTC at the live price, scaled by this rig's share of live network hashrate, after your pool fee and uptime. Transaction fees are excluded, so it is slightly conservative.
- What does the revenue figure exclude?
- Transaction fees, cooling power, and future difficulty growth — the payback figure assumes today's difficulty holds, which historically it does not. Treat payback as a floor.
