76,024 S19 Series Antminers are Purchased by Core Scientific in the past 16 months
Hongkong, Dec. 18, 2020 – Bitmain – the world’s leading producer of cryptocurrency mining hardware, today announced a new purchase deal with Core Scientific, the largest blockchain hosting provider in North America. More than 58,000 additional S19 Series Antminers will be shipped to Core Scientific through September 2021, bringing the total purchase of Bitmain’s S19 Series to 76,024 in the past 16 months for the value of over 129 million USD.
Back in June this year, Core Scientific has bought 17,595 units of Bitmain’s next-gen Antminer 19 Series. Ever since then, the market demands for digital asset mining has been growing significantly and driving hosting service providers, such as Core Scientific, to expand their facilities. Bitmain’s S19 Series has been the top-selling mining machine in the global market ever since launched. With the custom-built 7nm chip from Bitmain, S19 Series has set a new industry standard and proven its stable yet efficient performances.
“Since our last purchase agreement with Bitmain in June, Core Scientific has witnessed surging demand from new and existing customers in addition to a significant uptick in institutional interest for digital asset mining in North America. I am very pleased to note that over 17,000 of Bitmain’s new-gen digital mining machines have been stable and operating efficiently within Core Scientific’s facilities. This is instrumental as we compete for head-on for global hash rate and solidify our position as the largest hosting provider in North America.” Said Kevin Turner, President, and CEO of Core Scientific.
“Core Scientific has been a long-time customer and friend to us. Together we have been driving the digital asset mining ecosystem in North America. This new purchase is another strong proof of their determination to take the game to the next level by facilitating more customers to participate in the mining market. We are honored and glad that our products can be part of it.” said Irene Gao, Antminer Sales Director of NCSA Region, Bitmain.
Earlier this year, Bitmain just announced to set the very first and only cooperative repair center in North America through a partnership with Core Scientific. Before that, Core Scientific cooperated with Bitmain to bring the very first Antminer Training Academy to North America last year.

When
Bitcoin mining first started in 2009, it was considered a niche hobby for
cryptocurrency enthusiasts. Since then, it’s grown into a billion-dollar
industry – with Bitmain leading this growth since 2013.
Bitmain’s entrance into the mining market in
2013 saw the emergence of the ‘ASIC era’, as the company sought to bring ASICs
to the masses. Specifically
designed to mine cryptocurrencies, the demand for ASICs has since continued to
grow alongside the advancement of the bitcoin mining industry.
BTC
mining: from hobby to global industry
Back
in 2009, the only hardware needed to mine Bitcoin was a simple home computer
(provided it had reasonable specifications). These computers would run standard
multi-core CPUs, which would produce BTC at a rate of 50 per block. This would
equate to a few dollars of profit per day.
These demands first accelerated in October 2010, when the code for mining bitcoin with GPUs was released to the general public. Although the public was able to mine bitcoin for themselves, it quickly became evident that it was still not easy for GPU users to scale hash rates. So, it was only once FPGAs were introduced that mining really began to scale, as FPGAs are more power-efficient than GPUs.
By 2012, the mining industry was advanced even further with the adoption of ASIC technology. These miners were carefully designed for the specific use of mining cryptocurrencies, replacing the need to tweak the field-programmable component of FPGAs after purchase. As there will always be a need and approach to making a specific computation more efficient, ASICs were a natural progression in the Bitcoin mining industry.
Antminer
is born
By November 2013, Bitmain introduced its very own ASIC: the Antminer S1, which had a hash rate of 180 GH/s. Just a few months later, the Antminer S2 model was released, with a significantly higher hash rate of 1 TH/s.
Bitmain’s ASICs were quickly getting more powerful, and more energy-efficient over time.
Antminer S1: Launched 2013
Rapid rise of Antminers as BTC makes
history
Over the next few years between 2014 and 2019, Bitmain released numerous Antminer models to the market. In 2014 alone, Bitmain released miners such as the Antminer S2, S3, S4, and S5 – all with the aim of providing more efficient and profitable hardware to miners in order to keep up with the demands of the growing bitcoin mining industry.
On top of this, Bitmain launched the AntPool mining pool in 2014, further highlighting Bitmain’s commitment to helping decentralize the bitcoin network and put the majority of hashing power into the hands of consumers. This commitment was further highlighted in Bitmain’s 2015 launch of BTC.com, which introduced the top-leading blockchain explorer that efficiently offered users all information on the network. By 2016, BTC.com also launched its own pool platform.
With BTC making its historic price run in 2017, Bitmain continued to release batch variations of the S9 as well as entirely new models, such as the Antminer T9 which had a hash rate of 11.5 TH/s.
As the Bitcoin market continued to
grow, Bitmain released 8 SHA256 models throughout 2018.
As
the Bitcoin market continued to grow, Bitmain released the Antminer S15 in 2018, which was launched at the
World Digital Mining Summit. The Antminer S15 provided long-term energy efficiency through its use
of Bitmain’s 7nm chip that integrates over 1 billion transistors per unit.
By
2019, Bitmain had introduced its most popular Antminer models to date: the Antminer 17 Series.
Antminer Design Advancements
Antminers and the future of mining …
Since 2013, Bitmain has shown commitment to developing new technologies that overcome the new challenges of mining – and the significance of Bitmain’s advancements makes them leaders by example in the field.
Today,
Bitmain continues to pursue its vision of bringing the future of mining to all.
And that is why Bitmain has released the Antminer S19 and Antminer S19 Pro models, featuring hash rates of
95 TH/s and 110 TH/s respectively. The Antminer S19 series represents the
evolution of Bitcoin mining, from the very first Antminer S1 to the
ever-popular Antminer S9, reaching the present-day Antminer S19. The mining
community has taken great leaps of development.
