Is Mining Profitable?

According to Coingecko, a leading crypto data collector, the cost of mining 1 BTC is approximately $46,291, based on average household electricity rates. This value is 35% higher than the daily price of a single BTC, which was $30,090.08 in July 2023. However, these costs can vary depending on the country or region. While Asia stands out with the lowest average of $20,635.62, Europe has the highest average expenditure of $85,767.84.

The study suggests that mining a Bitcoin alone is only profitable in 65 countries, considering household electricity costs. These countries are primarily located in Asia and Africa, known for relatively cheaper electricity. The research also indicates that 9 countries have completely banned cryptocurrency activities, and 42 countries have implemented indirect regulations.
