Data

The tables I keep coming back to. Funding is live off the exchange; the rest are dated snapshots with the source named. Nothing here is behind an email form.

What it costs to mine a coin

Hashprice is what a petahash of work earns in a day. The grid below turns that into the BTC price at which each rig's power bill eats everything it mines — its shutdown price. Cells in red are already underwater on electricity alone.

Shutdown price = power cost of one terahash-day ÷ what one terahash-day mines, at the network's current hashrate and issuance. Efficiency figures are wall draw from public spec sheets; hosting, pool fees and hardware amortisation are not included, so a fleet's real break-even sits above these. Percentages are BTC's distance above each level at —.

Who else is holding it

Listed companies with the coin on the balance sheet. The column worth reading is average cost — it turns a holdings table into a position, and shows how much of the "institutions are in" story is actually above water.
