Bitcoin mining rewards have halved to 3.125 BTC per block since April 2024, but mining in Germany remains unprofitable because electricity costs are too high. Current ASIC miners like the Antminer S21 XP generate about €9.10 daily before costs but consume electricity worth €32.40 at household rates, leading to significant losses. Even at lower business electricity rates, mining still results in losses. The next halving in 2028 will further reduce rewards, making mining viable only where electricity costs are near zero, such as surplus solar power. For most, buying bitcoin directly is cheaper than mining.
