Why host an Antminer S21 XP instead of running it at home
At 13.5 J/TH the S21 XP gives up a little efficiency to the S23 but is widely available on the secondary market, which usually makes it cheaper per terahash to get into. It draws 3,645 W, the highest wall power of any machine we host, so it needs a facility built for the full 3.6 kW per unit rather than a converted room or garage.
A Antminer S21 XP draws 3,645 W continuously. That is more than a typical household circuit will carry, it needs a dedicated 240 V feed, and it moves the heat of a space heater into the room all year. It is also loud: a current-generation air-cooled ASIC runs at roughly the noise level of a vacuum cleaner, permanently. Hosting moves all of that into a building designed for it.
Who it suits: Buyers who care more about cost per terahash than about absolute efficiency, and anyone scaling a fleet in batches.

- A no-deposit option, and a minimum order of 5 miners
Antminer S21 XP specifications and hosted economics
These are the numbers we quote from. The daily profit figure is our own published estimate at $0.075 USD per kWh (miner quantity and availability based), and every other line follows from it.

How to read the break-even line: at about $0.125 per kWh this machine earns nothing. Below that it makes money, above it it loses money. Our rate band runs $0.072–$0.089 USDT/kWh, so the gap between your rate and $0.125 is your margin.
Bitcoin price, network difficulty and pool fees all move these numbers week to week. Use the Bitcoin mining profitability calculator to re-run them at a different hashprice before you commit.
What Antminer S21 XP hosting costs with us
A single Antminer S21 XP uses about 2,624 kWh a month. At our rate band that is $189–$234 per machine per month, all-inclusive. There is no separate power bill, cooling charge, rack rental or bandwidth line: the rate you are quoted is the rate you pay.
Where you land inside the band depends on the size of your order and the space available when you book. A five-machine order and a two-hundred-machine order are not the same deal, which is why we quote rather than publish a single number. The cost per kWh page explains exactly what is inside the rate.
On top of the monthly rate there is one charge: a racking fee of $35 USD/miner one time per connection or boxing out. Miner box storage is free while you host with us.
Getting your miners to our Quebec facility
Ship your Antminer S21 XP units to us and we handle the rest: receiving, racking, cabling, network configuration and pool setup. Most orders are hashing within one to two business days of arrival, depending on size.
If you do not own the hardware yet, an equipment + hosting package combines the purchase and the hosting agreement in one step — the machines are delivered straight to our racks, with no shipping, customs or setup for you to arrange.
Miners already in another facility can be moved; we have taken over fleets mid-contract before. Tell us the model mix and the move date when you request a quote.
