What It Costs to Mine Bitcoin With Sazmining
Every number on this page comes straight out of our store. No quote to request. No "contact us for pricing." Here it is.
Why Mine With Sazmining
Buy Bitcoin on an exchange and you get coins somebody else already mined, at whatever price the market is asking that morning. Mine it and you get coins that did not exist until your machine found them, at a cost you can read on this page — in a rig you own outright.
Mine Bitcoin. Own your rigs. Ditch the exchanges.
You own the machine
Bought in your name and identified by serial number. Not a contract, not a share of a pool, not rented hashrate. Resell it whenever you like, or ask for it back after year one.
Electricity at cost
From $0.059/kWh, passed through at the meter. We do not profit on power — you pay for what your rig actually consumed, on carbon-free grids that generate more than the local area uses.
We only earn when you're stacking sats
15%, taken at the pool, on Bitcoin actually mined. If your rig produces nothing, we earn nothing. That is not a promotion — it is the whole business model.
Your Bitcoin never touches our wallet
Your mined Bitcoin goes from the pool straight to an address you control. Wild sats, produced by your own machine, yours from the first block.
The Three Numbers
Most mining companies make you book a call before they will tell you a price. We think that is backwards. There are exactly three numbers you need: what the rig costs, what the electricity costs each month, and what we take.
There is no fourth number.
| Rig | Data center | Rig price | Electricity / mo | Management fee | Total to start |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bitmain S21 XP 270TH 270 TH/s · 3,645 W | Paraguay Hashing in under 30 days | $2,467 $2,344 in BTC | ~$148 $0.059/kWh | 15% | $3,275 |
| Bitmain S21 XP 270TH 270 TH/s · 3,645 W | Texas Hashing in 2-4 weeks | $3,497 $3,322 in BTC | ~$156 $0.062/kWh | 15% | $3,670 |
| Canaan Avalon A16 282TH 282 TH/s · 3,892 W | Texas Hashing in 2-4 weeks | $5,897 $5,602 in BTC | ~$167 $0.062/kWh | 15% | $6,082 |

What You Get Back
A price table only answers half the question. The other half is what the machine produces. A Bitmain S21 XP 270TH at 270 TH/s mines roughly 342,658 sats a month at today's network difficulty, after our 15% fee. Multiply by twelve for the year — we would rather you did that arithmetic yourself than take a projection from us.
The machine depreciates. The sats do not.
- Bitmain S21 XP 270TH — 270 TH/s
- ~342,658 sats/mo~4.11M sats/yr
- Canaan Avalon A16 282TH — 282 TH/s
- ~357,887 sats/mo~4.29M sats/yr
Computed on August 4, 2026 from live network data (difficulty 127.2 T) by the same engine behind our mining calculator, and net of the 15% management fee — so the number here, the number in the calculator and the number a Bitcoin Strategy Advisor quotes you are the same number. It is the rate while your rig is hashing and does not subtract downtime. Difficulty climbs over time, which pushes this figure down, and the Bitcoin price moves what those sats are worth. Read it as today's rate, not a promise.
What "Total to Start" Actually Includes
No surprises at checkout. That last column is the whole thing — here it is broken apart for a Bitmain S21 XP 270TH in Paraguay:
- The rig itself — yours, by serial number
- $2,467
- Setup
- $150
- Import, shipping and racking
- $493
- Your first month of service
- $165
- Total to start
- $3,275
You own the hardware
Outright, identified by serial number. It is your property, not a contract or a share of a pool. Resell it whenever you like, or ask for it back after year one.
We handle everything else
Procurement, customs, racking, cabling, monitoring and repairs. Your rig is hashing in under 30 days, and first-year repair costs are on us.
The Monthly Electricity Bill
This is the question we get most, and the one nobody in this industry answers straight. So, straight: a Bitmain S21 XP 270TH draws 3,645 watts. Add 5% for cooling overhead, run it at the 90% uptime we guarantee, and you get about 2,516 kWh a month.
- Bitmain S21 XP 270TH in Paraguay — at $0.059/kWh
- ~$148/mo
- Bitmain S21 XP 270TH in Texas — at $0.062/kWh
- ~$156/mo
- Canaan Avalon A16 282TH in Texas — at $0.062/kWh
- ~$167/mo
That is the actual bill, not an estimate with our margin on top. It is the meter reading passed through at cost. If your rig is down, you are not paying for power it did not use. We call that Precision Billing, and it is the reason our invoices are boring.
Why our power is this low cost
We did not negotiate a clever contract. We went where the power is — carbon-free grids with more generation than local demand. Low-cost electricity and clean electricity turn out to be the same thing.
The Management Fee
15%, taken at the pool, on Bitcoin actually mined.
Not on the rig. Not on the electricity. Not a monthly subscription that bills you whether or not the machine ever hashes.
If your rig produces nothing, we earn nothing. We only earn when you are stacking sats.
What we do not charge for
- We do not profit on the sale of rigs. We buy at cost and pass them through at cost.
- We do not profit on service fees. Electricity is the meter reading, nothing added.
- No custody fee — your Bitcoin never touches our wallet.
- No withdrawal fee.
- No repair bill in year one. Parts and labor covered.
- No minimum order. Buy one rig.
Questions People Actually Ask
What is Sazmining's value proposition?
You own the mining hardware outright, by serial number. You pay for electricity at cost, from $0.059/kWh, with nothing added by us. We take a 15% fee at the pool on Bitcoin actually mined, so we only earn when you are stacking sats. And your Bitcoin goes from the pool straight to a wallet you control — we never custody it. The result is Bitcoin acquired at a cost per sat you can calculate in advance, instead of at whatever an exchange is charging that day.
How much does it cost to start mining Bitcoin with Sazmining?
$3,275 all in for a Bitmain S21 XP 270TH hosted in Paraguay, which covers the rig, setup, import and your first month of service. Pay in Bitcoin, USDT or USDC and take 5% off the rig price. There is no minimum order — you can buy a single rig.
How many sats will I earn per month?
About 342,658 sats a month for a Bitmain S21 XP 270TH at today's network difficulty, after our 15% management fee — roughly 4.11M sats over a year if difficulty held still, which it will not. That figure comes from live network data, is the same one our mining calculator shows, and is the rate while your rig is hashing. Difficulty rises over time and the Bitcoin price moves independently, so model your own case with the calculator. Break-even typically lands 12 to 18 months out, and rigs run 3 to 5 years.
What is the monthly electricity bill for one mining rig?
Roughly $148 a month for a Bitmain S21 XP 270TH in Paraguay: about 2,516 kWh at $0.059/kWh. Electricity is passed through at cost — we do not profit on power — and billed on your rig's actual consumption, so if it is not hashing, you are not paying for it.
Are there any hidden fees?
No. There are three numbers: the rig price, electricity at cost, and a 15% management fee taken at the pool on Bitcoin actually mined. We do not profit on the sale of rigs or on service fees. No custody fee, no withdrawal fee, and no repair bill in your first year.
Where do I actually buy a rig?
In our store, at store.sazmining.com. If you have seen "Store" in one place on this site and "Shop rigs" in another, those are the same link. Every price on this page is live in there, and you can check out with a card, a bank transfer, Bitcoin or stablecoins.
Do I actually own the mining rig?
Yes, outright and identified by serial number. It is your property, not a contract or a share of a pool. You can resell it on the secondary market or request physical return after the first year.
How can I pay for a mining rig?
Credit card, debit card, ACH, wire transfer, Bitcoin, Lightning, USDC, USDT, Apple Pay, Google Pay or Cash App. Bitcoin and stablecoin payments get 5% off the rig price.
Where does my mined Bitcoin go?
Straight from the mining pool to a wallet you control. Sazmining never custodies your Bitcoin. We recommend a cold wallet.
Mining isn't complicated.
The pricing shouldn't be either.
Electricity figures are illustrative, calculated at each site's rate and guaranteed uptime; you are billed on your rig's actual consumption. Sats figures are computed from network conditions on the date shown, are net of the management fee, and do not subtract downtime. Mining returns vary with network difficulty and the Bitcoin price and are never guaranteed. This is not financial advice — consult a qualified CPA.
