How Much Power to Mine a Single Bitcoin

Nvidia-mining

Bitcoin is a cryptocurrency that is mined using computer power. The amount of power needed to mine one bitcoin varies depending on the difficulty of the Bitcoin network at the time.

Generally, it takes more power to mine Bitcoin as the network becomes more difficult. As of January 2023, it is estimated that it would take approximately 1,449 kilowatt hours of power to mine one Bitcoin.

This estimate is based on Bitcoin’s current difficulty and the average electricity consumption of Bitcoin miners. However, as the Bitcoin network grows and becomes more difficult, the amount of power needed to mine one Bitcoin will continue to increase. Thus, miners must constantly update their equipment to stay ahead of the curve.
