Bitmain Antminer Canada — Where Cold Air and Cheap Power Do Half the Work
Canada is one of the few places on earth where the two hardest problems in mining — power cost and heat rejection — solve themselves. Hydro-fed grids in Québec, Manitoba and BC deliver some of the cheapest industrial electricity in the developed world, and for six months a year the outside air is your cooling system. This page is written for that advantage.
bitmain
Bitmain is the Chinese manufacturer behind the Antminer line and the largest supplier of Bitcoin mining hardware in the world.
Bitmain’s real story isn’t about silicon — it’s about the moment a company stopped selling computers and started selling industrial capacity. In 2016 the product was an S9 you could put on a shelf. In 2026 the product is an ANTSPACE HW7: a $169,000 shipping container that swallows 396 miners and runs at a PUE of 1.031.
That container is worth pausing on if you’re in Canada, because it was designed for exactly your climate. It operates from −40 °C to +50 °C and includes a PTC heating unit to bring coolant above 20 °C before the miners start. Bitmain didn’t add that for Dubai. They added it for Manitoba in January.
The rest of the range scales the same way: an S9 at $320.88 to learn on, an S21 at $2,254.88 to earn on, an ANTRACK rack at $8,888.88 to organise on. Same firmware, same tooling, same support chain, from first machine to first megawatt.

antminer
Antminer is Bitmain’s ASIC product line, where the letter identifies the algorithm and the number identifies the generation.
Learn the badge and you’ll never buy the wrong box. S is SHA-256 — Bitcoin flagships. T is Bitcoin too, cheaper per unit, thirstier per terahash. L is Scrypt — Litecoin with Dogecoin merge-mined alongside. E is Ethash. Z is Equihash. KS/KA are Kaspa and Kadena. Suffixes describe cooling and density: Hyd is hydro, XP is upgraded silicon, Imm is immersion, U3 is rack-native.
The number is the generation: 9 → 17 → 19 → 21 → 23. Each step roughly halves J/TH. An S9 burns ~98 J/TH; an S23 Hyd burns 9.5 J/TH.
Here’s where Canada breaks the usual rule. Everywhere else, the advice is “expensive power demands new generations.” In Québec at $0.05/kWh or on Alberta flared gas at effectively pennies, older generations still clear their electricity cost — which means Canadian buyers can scale on quantity instead of paying up for the newest silicon. That’s a real strategic option most of the world doesn’t have.
It is also why we keep the legacy range stocked: S9k $329.88, S9i $339.88, S11 $449.88, T9+ $229.88, T17 $519.88, S17 $649.88. In most markets those are museum pieces. In Canada they are a fleet.

bitmain antminer s23 hyd. 3u
The Bitmain Antminer S23 Hyd 3U is a hydro-cooled Bitcoin miner in a 3U rack format delivering 1.16 PH/s (1,160 TH/s) at 11,020 W — an efficiency of 9.5 J/TH.
Read that again: 1.16 petahash out of a chassis measuring 900 × 486 × 132 mm. A single 3U module does the work of roughly 86 Antminer S9s while drawing less than a quarter of the power those 86 machines would demand.
That density is the entire point of the format. This isn’t a machine you place — it’s a module you slide in. It’s built for data-centre architecture: ANTRACK racks, ANTSPACE containers, closed water loops with a dry cooler outside.
And this is where Canada’s climate becomes a genuine balance-sheet item. A dry cooler rejecting heat into −20 °C Manitoba air does its job at a fraction of the fan power it needs in a warm climate. The same hardware simply costs less to run here.
In stock: Bitcoin Miner U3S23H — $34,800.88 (~$30/TH). Requirements are industrial: 380–480 V three-phase, a coolant loop, antifreeze rated for your winter, and floor loading that takes the weight.
👉 Bitcoin Miner U3S23H (1.16 PH/s) — $34,800.88 · Matching container: ANTSPACE HW7 — $169,000 (holds 242 2U miners) · Rack: ANTRACK V2-EC4-DTHP — $8,888.88
bitmain antminer s23 hyd 3u
The Bitmain Antminer S23 Hyd 3U is the rack-mounted, water-cooled version of the S23 — 1.16 PH/s in a 3U chassis at 9.5 J/TH, built to be installed into infrastructure rather than plugged into a wall.
The section above covered the numbers. This one covers what actually happens when one arrives on a pallet in Alberta, because the specification sheet is the easy part.
You need a loop before you need a miner. A closed water circuit, a dry cooler sized for your heat load, circulation pumps with redundancy, and coolant. Bitmain sells antifreeze rated to −40 °C and −50 °C, and in most of Canada you want the −50 °C. Pure water will freeze in your lines in February and split them.
You need the floor. 11 kW per module sounds abstract until you’re racking twelve of them. Bitmain’s own ANTSPACE siting guidance calls for ground capable of carrying at least 45 t and levelness within ±1° — that’s a concrete pad, not a shop floor.
You need three-phase. 380–480 V, and a service drop that can carry it. In rural Canada that conversation with the utility takes months, not weeks. Start it before you order hardware.
And you need cold-start discipline. Below 20 °C coolant temperature, the miners should not be started until a PTC heater brings the loop up. ANTSPACE containers include one. A self-built loop needs you to add it.
None of this is a reason not to buy. It’s the reason Canadian operators who do this properly end up with the lowest cost per terahash on the continent — cheap hydro power and a dry cooler rejecting heat into −20 °C air is a combination almost nobody else can buy.

antminer s9
The Antminer S9 is Bitmain’s 2016 Bitcoin miner — 13.5 TH/s at roughly 1,320 W on 16nm BM1387 chips.
The S9 is mining’s indestructible classic. It gets written off every year and keeps humming in garages across five continents. At $320.88 it’s the only Bitcoin miner you can make mistakes on without regretting the purchase.
Everywhere else in the world, we tell buyers the S9’s 98 J/TH is a death sentence. In Canada that sentence gets commuted. At Québec residential rates near $0.07/kWh, an S9 draws about $67 a month in electricity. On a farm running Alberta flared gas or a Manitoba industrial contract, it’s less. This is one of the few markets on earth where an S9 fleet can still clear its power bill.
There’s a second Canadian angle that isn’t a joke: an S9 is a 1.3 kW space heater that pays you. Plenty of owners in cold provinces run them in workshops, garages and outbuildings from October to April and count the heat as part of the return. Six months of the year, the “waste” isn’t waste.
Same platform, also in stock: S9k — $329.88, S9i (14 TH/s) — $339.88, and the faster S11 (20.5 TH/s) — $449.88 at ~75 J/TH — which on Canadian power is the better buy of the three.
👉 Antminer S9 (13.5TH/s) — $320.88 → — the only market where this is a business case, not just a lesson.
s19
The S19 is Bitmain’s 2020 Bitcoin generation, spanning roughly 90 to 151 TH/s at 21–34 J/TH.
The S19 moved mining from the shed to the spreadsheet. Publicly traded miners built entire balance sheets on this model, which is why so many are in circulation today.
Six years on it holds one clear position: the cheapest machine that still seriously counts. Not the most efficient — the S21 took that — but the lowest entry price for hashrate that actually earns.
For Canadian buyers the S19 sits in a genuinely comfortable spot. At $0.05–0.08/kWh, an S19j Pro at 29.5 J/TH clears its power cost with room to spare — the same machine that struggles in Germany or the Netherlands. That means your capital goes further buying three S19s instead of one flagship, and three machines give you redundancy a single unit never will.
The S19 XP at 140 TH/s and ~21.5 J/TH is the sweet spot of the family for $250 more than the j Pro. The S19k Pro at $1,099.88 is the cheapest entry into the generation.
👉 Antminer S19 XP (140Th) — $1,479.88 · S19j Pro 104TH/s — $1,229.88 · S19k Pro — $1,099.88
antminer s21
The Antminer S21 is Bitmain’s 2023 generation — around 200 TH/s at approximately 3,500 W, or about 17.5 J/TH.
The S21 is the machine that makes mining work in expensive-power markets. Canada isn’t one of those, which changes the question entirely: here, you don’t buy an S21 to survive your electricity bill — you buy it because you’re constrained by amps, not dollars.
That’s the real Canadian bottleneck. Hydro-Québec allocates mining load. A rural service drop gives you what it gives you. Most Canadian operations hit a hard ceiling on available power long before they hit a ceiling on capital. When your limit is kilowatts, the only way to grow is more terahash per kilowatt — and that’s the S21’s entire argument.
Do the math on a 50 kW service: fourteen S21s at 3,500 W each gives you 2,800 TH/s. Thirty-seven S9s at 1,320 W fills the same panel for 500 TH/s. Same power, five and a half times the output.
Family pricing: S21 Plus $2,199.88 (up to 235 TH/s, ~16.5 J/TH — the value pick) · S21 200Th $2,254.88 · S21 Pro $3,744.88 · S21 XP $4,590.88 · S21 Hyd 335Th $3,450.88.
👉 Antminer S21 Plus — $2,199.88 · S21 (200Th) — $2,254.88 · S21 Pro — $3,744.88
antminer l 3
The Antminer L3 / L3+ is Bitmain’s 2017 Scrypt miner — 504 MH/s at about 800 W — mining Litecoin with Dogecoin merge-mined at no extra power cost.
The L3+ is the folk hero of Dogecoin mining. Small, comparatively quiet for an ASIC, and it pays in two coins for one computation: Litecoin as the primary, Dogecoin as the bonus. In 2017 that felt like magic.
In 2026 an honest shop has to say it plainly. At roughly 1.6 J/MH, the L3+ can’t compete with the current L-series on efficiency. We stock it at $189.88 because on Canadian power that inefficiency is survivable — and because at that price it is the cheapest way into Scrypt that exists.
But hold on to why you searched for it, because that instinct is sound. Scrypt’s two-coin payout is genuine diversification — your revenue stops depending entirely on the Bitcoin chart. In Canada, where cheap power lets you run multiple algorithms without agonising over every watt, that’s a strategy worth having.
The earning answer: Litecoin Miner L7 at $724.88 for the cheapest viable route, L9 at $5,584.88 for serious output, L11 at $9,380.88 and the hydro L11 HU2 at $16,415.88 for farm scale.
👉 Antminer L3+ (504 Mh/s) — $189.88 — in stock, if it’s specifically the L3+ you want · Litecoin Miner L7 — $724.88 · Litecoin Miner L9 — $5,584.88
antminer s19
“Antminer S19” is the family name for Bitmain’s 2020 Bitcoin ASIC generation — at least eight variants with genuinely confusing naming.
If you searched this without a suffix, you’re probably trying to work out which S19 to actually buy. Here’s the decision tree, Canadian edition.
Cheapest entry: S19k Pro 120TH/s at $1,099.88 — ~23 J/TH, the cost-optimised build.
Cheapest proven silicon: S19j Pro 104TH/s at $1,229.88. At Canadian power rates this clears its bill comfortably. Buy several.
Best efficiency per dollar: S19 XP (140Th) at $1,479.88 — ~21.5 J/TH. If you’re amp-limited rather than cash-limited, this beats the j Pro decisively.
Already have a water loop: S19 Pro+ Hyd at $2,292.88, S19 XP Hyd at $2,313.88, S19 XP+ Hyd at $2,511.88, S19e XP Hyd at $2,761.88.
Highest S19 output: S19j XP at $3,473.88 — 151 TH/s at ~21.5 J/TH.
Don’t want it in your building: HOST ANTMINER S19 XP Hyd at $2,313.88.
The short version: if your limit is your electrical panel, buy the XP. If your limit is your budget, buy two j Pros.

FAQ
Is Bitcoin mining profitable in Canada?
Canada is one of the strongest markets globally. Hydro-fed rates in Québec, Manitoba and BC ($0.04–0.08/kWh) leave margin on almost any modern machine, and cold ambient air cuts cooling cost for much of the year. It is also one of the few markets where legacy machines like the S9, S11 or L3+ still clear their power bill.
Do I need special cooling in a Canadian winter?
For air-cooled units, usually the opposite — outside air does the work. For hydro systems, you need antifreeze rated for your region; Bitmain supplies −40 °C and −50 °C coolant, and ANTSPACE containers include a PTC heater to warm coolant above 20 °C before start-up.
What are the duties on importing miners to Canada?
You act as importer of record and pay GST/HST plus any provincial component on declared value. We provide Certificates of Conformity; confirm HS classification with your customs broker in advance.
What’s the warranty?
365 days from ship date on current-generation Bitmain hardware, with the manufacturer covering replacement shipping. Legacy models are sold on different terms.
Can I run an Antminer at home in Canada?
In a detached garage, shop or outbuilding with a 240 V circuit, yes — and the heat is genuinely useful half the year. Not in living space: 75 dB is a shop vacuum that never stops, and the T17 and S17 are louder still at about 82 dB.
