Description
The Antminer S21 Pro 245T is Bitmain’s high-hashrate air-cooled SHA-256 machine: 245 TH/s at 3,675 W, which is 15.0 J/TH. All three S21 Pro variants (220T, 234T and 245T) share that same 15.0 J/TH efficiency — the bigger models simply run more silicon harder, they are not more efficient per terahash.

What’s in the box
- 1 × Bitmain Antminer S21 Pro 245T
- Nothing that is not listed above. Cords, controllers, brackets and spares are only included when this listing names them — if you need to know before you pay, ask on +1 (781) 577-0377 or ns@ingmining.com and we will confirm in writing what is physically in the crate
Published weights, dimensions and even fan counts for this model vary between sources (both 400 × 195 × 290 mm and 450 × 219 × 293 mm are quoted, and both two and four fans). If you are booking freight or building racking, ask us and we will measure and weigh the actual unit rather than repeat a spec sheet.
What 15 J/TH means for your power bill
At 15.0 J/TH this machine covers its own electricity only below roughly 8.9 ¢/kWh at 10 August 2026 hashprice. That is the number that decides whether it makes sense for you, and it has nothing to do with the terahash figure. Our ASIC miner buying guide gives you the one-line formula so you can check it against your actual power contract. We do not quote profitability figures, because they change with difficulty and Bitcoin price every day.
Power and siting
3,675 W on a dedicated 220–277 V circuit, and around 75 dB. This is a warehouse or hosted-facility machine, not a home one. If you want something you can live beside, the Avalon Q is the honest recommendation instead.
Repairability
The BM1370 has a real independent parts market and S21-family hashboard repair is a service several shops advertise, which is a genuine advantage over newer non-Bitmain hardware. We stock Antminer repair parts, testers and fixtures ourselves.
Buying from ING Mining
Bitmain publishes a 365-day warranty running from the shipment date, and it runs to the original direct purchaser — on a resold machine, support is the reseller’s responsibility. Ask us what we will cover and for how long, and we will confirm it in writing before you order. Compare it against the Bitdeer SealMiner A2 Pro Air, or browse Antminer and the full catalogue at all miners.
At 15 J/TH, an S21 Pro covers its own electricity only below roughly 8.9¢/kWh at 10 August 2026 hashprice. Our ASIC miner buying guide gives you the one-line formula so you can check that against your actual power contract before you order.
Cross-shopping this against the Bitdeer SealMiner A2 Pro Air? The two are within 1% of each other on efficiency, so the decision comes down to parts, warranty and resale. We put both side by side in S21 Pro vs SealMiner A2 Pro Air.
Cross-shopping this against cheap used hardware instead? The capital gap is large enough that a used S19 XP pays back faster below roughly 5.5¢/kWh, while the S21 Pro keeps earning at rates that shut the older machine off entirely. Both cases are worked through in Antminer S19 XP vs S21 Pro.
Questions buyers ask about this machine
Will this run on a normal household outlet?
No. This machine needs a dedicated 220–277 V circuit. A North American 120 V household outlet will not run it under any adapter or configuration. At 3,675 W it draws about 15.3 A at 240 V, so the circuit wants a 20 A breaker — continuous loads are sized at 125% under the NEC, and a miner is the textbook continuous load. Size for your actual supply voltage, not ours: the same load on a 208 V feed draws more current, not less. Have an electrician confirm the supply before the pallet arrives.
What will it cost to run?
That depends on your electricity rate, so here is the part we can state exactly: at 3,675 W running 24/7, this machine burns about 2,646 kWh a month. Multiply that by your own all-in rate per kWh — including delivery charges, not just the supply rate — to get your monthly power bill. We do not publish profitability figures, because they change with difficulty and price every day.
How loud is it?
Roughly 75–76 dB — about as loud as a household vacuum cleaner running continuously, and it does not stop. This is a garage, workshop, outbuilding or hosted-facility machine, not something to put in a room where people live or sleep.
What can I mine with it?
The algorithm is SHA-256 (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash), and ASIC silicon is single-purpose: it will mine coins on that algorithm and nothing else, whatever the price of anything else does.
Is this a new unit?
Yes — new stock, as described in this listing. Any manufacturer warranty term that applies is stated in the description above; where none is stated, none is claimed.
Shipping cost for this exact item, and how warranty and returns work here, are answered in the Shipping & buying tab on this page. Anything else, ask a person on +1 (781) 577-0377 or ns@ingmining.com — we would rather talk before you buy.
The same $4,200 buys nine used S19k Pros — when to buy this instead
Priced per terahash this machine loses badly, and we would rather show you that than have you find it out: the same money, freight included, buys nine used Antminer S19k Pros and four times the hashrate.
| One new S21 Pro 245T | Nine used S19k Pros | |
|---|---|---|
| Goods | $4,200.00 | $3,419.91 |
| Freight at $49.99 a unit | $49.99 | $449.91 |
| Landed | $4,249.99 | $3,869.82 |
| Hashrate | 245 TH/s | 1,035 TH/s |
| Landed cost per TH/s | $17.35 | $3.74 |
| Wall power | 3.7 kW | 23.8 kW |
| 20 A / 240 V circuits | 1 | 9 |
| Hashboards in service | 3, new | 27, used |
The case for this machine is not capital. It is everything in that table that scales with the number of boxes: one 20 A, 240 V circuit instead of nine, 245 TH/s per breaker against 115 — 2.1 times the terahash per slot — three new hashboards instead of twenty-seven used ones, 3.7 kW of heat instead of 23.8 kW, and a manufacturer warranty term for the first year rather than a tested-working claim. On electricity there is a crossover near 5.1 cents a kilowatt-hour: below it the used fleet nets more, above it this machine does, and a little higher again it is the only one of the two still earning anything. The full arithmetic, both baskets, is here.
