On Monday, MicroBT officially launched its new generation of WhatsMiner mining machines—the M70 series—in Abu Dhabi. Despite Bitcoin mining revenues currently being at multi-year lows, the company has chosen to introduce a product line with higher energy efficiency. The M70 series covers three efficiency tiers: 12.5 J/TH, 13.5 J/TH, and 14.5 J/TH, offering both air-cooled and water-cooled models. The single-unit hashrate ranges from the entry-level M70 at around 214 TH/s to the rack-mounted M79S at over 1 PH/s, targeting ultra-large-scale mining farms and advanced energy solutions. This launch comes at a time when mining economics are extremely tight. According to market data, Bitcoin hashprice has dropped to about $35 per PH/s/day, nearing historic lows; meanwhile, network hashrate remains above 1 ZH/s, increasing revenue pressure on miners. Record-high mining difficulty combined with price corrections has significantly slowed miner demand, and ASIC manufacturers are generally facing challenges such as extended inventory and order cycles.
