Bitmain’s Mining Rig Prices Crash: Antminer S19/S21 Models Now at Rock Bottom 2026
Bitcoin mining rig prices have plummeted. I watched in real time as Bitmain’s flagship machines started selling for scraps. This sudden crash has rattled miners worldwide, including me.
Bitmain’s Antminer S19 and S21 ASIC prices have dropped to historic lows of around $3–$4 per terahash—only a fraction of their value last year. The crash to rock-bottom pricing is driven by Bitcoin’s post-halving profit squeeze and a flood of newer, efficient competitors, forcing Bitmain to slash prices in fire-sale fashion.
I remember selling S19 units for triple today’s price just a year ago. The speed of this collapse stunned everyone. But instead of panicking, I began asking: does this bottom signal the end of an era or the start of a new chapter?
