Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

VanEck digital-assets research head Matthew Sigel estimated that a single Antminer S21 XP unit, priced at $3,459 with electricity at $0.08 per kWh and a three-year depreciation schedule, would need Bitcoin to average roughly $100,000 through the next halving to break even, assuming network hashrate holds steady. The calculation, relayed by Wu Blockchain, reflects equipment and power costs under specific conditions and is a mining break-even benchmark rather than a price forecast. It matters because it frames the average BTC level miners need to stay viable as the next halving approaches.
