Hut 8 and Bitmain partner to launch 860 Terahash ASIC miner
Hut 8 Corp. has announced a partnership with Bitmain Technologies to develop the U3S21EXPH, a new ASIC miner equipped with direct liquid-to-chip (DLC) cooling technology.
Set for deployment in Q2 2025, this cutting-edge miner is capable of delivering up to 860 terahash per second (TH/s) while using only 13 joules per terahash, enhancing energy efficiency and performance.
This marks a significant advancement in bitcoin mining infrastructure.
The U3S21EXPH will be the first mass-produced ASIC miner with direct liquid-to-chip cooling, a feature designed to keep the system running optimally by removing heat directly from the chip.
This innovation allows miners to increase output while reducing energy consumption, making the system more efficient and cost-effective.
With a rack-ready design, commonly used in high-performance computing (HPC) data centers, the miner aims to meet the growing demand for more powerful mining solutions.
Hut 8 plans to deploy the U3S21EXPH at densities of up to 180 kilowatts per rack, supported by a customised data center infrastructure.
The partnership includes a fixed-price purchase option, giving Hut 8 the flexibility to transition hosted machines into its own self-mining operations.
Once deployed, the new miner is expected to increase Hut 8’s total hashrate under management to approximately 33.5 exahash per second (EH/s), with the potential for further growth in self-mining.
According to Hut 8 CEO Asher Genoot, "Our partnership with Bitmain has allowed us to advance our thinking on ASIC compute and create a more scalable model for data center design as we expand our footprint."
