What Your ASIC Will Actually Be Worth in Two Years, and Why It Belongs in Your Profitability Math
How much does an ASIC miner depreciate per year?
There is no reliable annual percentage, because ASIC values track the efficiency of newly released hardware rather than the calendar. A machine can hold its value for a year and then fall sharply in a single quarter when a more efficient model ships. A useful planning approach is to model a range, from roughly 60 percent of purchase price retained after two years in a favourable scenario down to 20 percent or less if a generational efficiency jump or a halving falls inside your ownership window.
