Bitmain Antminer S21e Hydro 288Th SHA-256 Bitcoin Miner: Product Overview
What Is the Antminer S21e Hydro and What Does It Mine?
The Bitmain Antminer S21e Hydro 288Th is a dedicated SHA-256 ASIC miner for Bitcoin & Bitcoin Cash. Manufactured by Bitmain. This model belongs to the Antminer S Series. Released in 2024.
Is the Antminer S21e Hydro Right for Your Setup?
Mining starts with power. A competitive electricity tariff or surplus renewable generation can give your operation a useful cost advantage, while higher electricity prices can make an otherwise capable miner uneconomic. Compare your rate and chosen coin in the earnings table, allowing for cooling, pool fees and any other operating costs.
Prefer to avoid the day-to-day work of running your own mining site? Our managed ASIC hosting services offer an alternative, with power, cooling and monitoring handled at the facility. Explore current locations and rates, then speak to our team to confirm compatibility, availability, minimum quantities and any additional fees.
This model requires a compatible liquid cooling installation. Confirm coolant requirements, flow, pressure, heat rejection and electrical supply against the manufacturer’s specifications before ordering.
Confirm the power supply, leads and cooling equipment included with your exact variant, and obtain its manufacturer’s installation manual before arranging the installation.
Which Coins Can the Antminer S21e Hydro Mine?
Mining Compatibility
Mining on the SHA-256 algorithm, you can secure Bitcoin (BTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and AuxPoW siblings such as DigiByte SHA (DGB), eCash (XEC), Peercoin (PPC) and Fractal Bitcoin (FB); you can also earn Bitcoin and other coins by selling your SHA-256 hash-power on the NiceHash Hashpower Marketplace (Nicehash-SHA-AB).
How SHA-256 Mining Works
SHA-256 is the cryptographic hash function used in Bitcoin mining. Bitcoin applies it twice to a block header, and miners repeatedly test candidate headers until a result meets the network difficulty target. Dedicated ASIC hardware performs this work at scale. For equipment comparisons, hashrate describes the amount of hashing work a machine performs, while efficiency describes the energy needed for that work. Compatibility also depends on the network and mining protocol supported by the device and pool.

Coin and merged mining support depend on the network, pool and firmware. Selling hashpower through a marketplace is different from directly mining its payout coin.
