NEW: Bitcoin miner/water heater featured on the CES 2026 show floor
– Built with ASIC Bitcoin miners mounted on a 50-gallon water heater.
– Same energy usage as a standard electric water heater while producing BTC
– Mining revenue could fully offset water-heating expenses

mining bitcoin might offset the cost to heat the water, but my guess is the upfront price tag on something like this would make any benefit go out the window.
you know why they did this? because i just bought a new water heater. this is so cool.
This feels like a lot of the dumb products people would drag out on Shark Tank thinking it’s a brilliant product.
One of these would have been killing it about 15 years ago.
Mining “could” offset the price of your water heating expenses, but not the original investment for this device
It also could ‘not’ even cover your water heating expenses…
Most of these bitcoin heaters just steal what they’re mining lol
Demand might pop in April as Bitcoin halves this year.
