BlockOps Mining · Updated August 23, 2026
Hydro hosting slots are limited and allocated first-come, first-served. If you have a specific unit in mind we will confirm compatibility before you ship anything.

Key Takeaways

1
Hydro-cooled hosting is live at BlockOps. 2U and 3U hydro hosting is now available, our most significant infrastructure upgrade since launch.
2
It opens the door to 10 to 13 J/T hardware. The Antminer S23e U2H at 10 J/T and the Antminer S21e XP Hydro at 13 J/T are two of the most efficient ASICs on the market.
3
50 MW across five facilities, 25+ team members. We have hosted more than 20,000 air-cooled miners since 2021, from the S19 XP through the S21 XP.
4
98.5% uptime through the January ice storms. When mandatory curtailments knocked other providers offline, our sites stayed up.

Rates as low as $0.07/kWh pass-through, curtailment capped at 120 hrs/yr, you keep title.

Why hydro cooling matters

When we founded BlockOps in 2021, we made a commitment to build the most reliable, efficient, and transparent bitcoin mining operation from the ground up. Our first facilities were built for air-cooled specifications ranging from the Bitmain S19 XP to the Bitmain S21 XP. We have hosted over 20,000 of these air-cooled miners throughout our history. Traditional air-cooled systems have served the industry and BlockOps clients well, but hydro cooling represents a significant leap in performance and efficiency.

Exceptional efficiency. By leveraging liquid cooling, we achieve dramatically lower power consumption per terahash. Your operating costs drop while your hashrate stays consistent, even under high heat environments.

Sustained performance. Miners run cooler, which means less thermal stress on hardware and longer equipment lifespan. You get more stable, predictable mining over time and less downtime in the heat of the summer.

Decreased maintenance expense. Maintenance expense is lower due to less strain on components of the ASIC. ASIC repairs are less frequent and downtime due to hashboard repair is limited.

The hardware you want

Antminer S23e U2H. A professional-grade, hydro-cooled bitcoin miner that delivers 865 TH/s at an efficiency of 10 J/T. The most elite Bitmain ASIC on the market.

Antminer S21e XP Hydro-Cooled. 860 TH/s of pure hashing power with an exceptional 13 J/T efficiency ratio. Professional-grade hardware for serious miners.

Antminer L9 Hydro-Cooled. Our Dogecoin mining solution. 27 GH/s of Scrypt hashing with full hydro cooling support. Ideal for diversified miners who want exposure to alternative coins without sacrificing efficiency.

All units are fully compatible with our new hydro containers. Each system is engineered to work seamlessly with our infrastructure, meaning you get the benefit of optimized cooling, dedicated power allocation, and our 24/7 monitoring from day one. We are actively expanding support for additional miner models, and we also sell and repair hardware through BlockOps miner sales and repairs.

Why choose BlockOps for hydro mining

Over the past three years BlockOps has grown from a single idea to 25+ team members dedicated to uptime and customer success, 50 MW of operational electrical capacity across five strategically located facilities, and enterprise-grade infrastructure with redundancy, monitoring and on-site technical support.

Real transparency. We do not hide behind vague uptime claims or buried fee schedules. You get real-time reporting of every facility event, power curtailment, and operational metric. If something affects you, you know about it immediately. We break down how curtailment billing works in do you get billed while your miner is curtailed.

Responsive team. Our average response time to customer inquiries is under 30 minutes. We treat your hardware like it is our own because we understand that mining is your business, not ours.

Proven reliability. January proved what we are made of. When ice storms and mandatory curtailments knocked other providers offline, BlockOps maintained 98.5% operational uptime.

Long-term vision. We are building infrastructure designed to thrive for decades. Every expansion, every upgrade, every hiring decision is made with multi-year sustainability in mind.

We are planning additional facility upgrades throughout 2026, expanding our hydro capacity, and continuing to invest in the infrastructure that keeps your miners running at peak efficiency. More hydro locations, expanded ASIC model support, and new BlockOps products and services are coming.
