Bitcoin cryptocurrency is becoming increasingly widespread worldwide, and it no longer surprises anyone to see Bitcoin mining functionality integrated into industrial heating devices. Just a few years ago, such devices were only made by mining enthusiasts seeking additional profit by utilizing the heat from ASICs for household purposes. While the company Canaan released regular home heaters with Bitcoin mining functionality, HeatBit has gone a step further by adding an air purification feature to the mix. The result is an innovative product, the HeatBit TRIO, which combines three functions: air heating, air purification, and cryptocurrency mining.
For us, the HeatBit Trio is primarily interesting as a BTC ASIC miner.
Specifications:
-
Algorithm: SHA-256
-
Hashrate: 10 TH/s
-
Power consumption: 400W
-
Energy efficiency: 40 J/TH
-
Price: $899
By 2025, an energy efficiency of 40 J/TH is no longer the best in the industry and is comparable to industrial ASIC miners from 2019. However, even with this level of energy efficiency, such a Bitcoin miner can still generate more profit from mining than its electricity costs at a rate of 0.05perkWh.The gross daily income (without accounting for electricity costs)would be around 0.5 USD.
It’s worth noting that the total electrical heating power of the HeatBit is 1400W, with 1000W coming from a conventional heating element and 400W from the heat generated by the built-in ASIC miner. In this case, the payback calculation only considers the 400W, not the full 1400W power consumption of the device.

Conclusion:
Buying such devices solely for mining may not be the best idea. However, as a stylish and practical gift, the HeatBit Trio is more than appropriate, especially if the recipient is already into cryptocurrencies and mining. It’s also an excellent gift for friends and family if you want to introduce them to the crypto industry without delving into tedious discussions about the benefits of decentralization and blockchain technology.
