Where to Buy a Bitaxe in 2026: Trusted Vendors and Models Compared

Published July 22, 2026, 07:00 UTC

Because the Bitaxe is open-source hardware, no single company owns it. Many independent vendors build and sell boards, so you buy from a trusted shop rather than one brand.
Reputable vendors include Solo Satoshi, Power Mining, and TinyChipHub, each offering assembled boards, genuine Bitmain chips, and AxeOS firmware.
Prices scale with chip count: a single-chip Bitaxe Gamma runs roughly 60 to 120 USD, a dual-chip Gamma Turbo around 175 to 210, and multi-chip NerdQaxe boards 400 and up.
Before buying, check for the latest board revision, a genuine BM1370 chip, warranty and support, and that the vendor contributes back to the open-source project.
Whichever board you buy, it connects to mkpool for zero-fee, non-custodial solo mining: host btc.mkpool.com, port 3333, your own Bitcoin address as the username.

Deciding where to buy a Bitaxe is a little different from buying a normal gadget. Because the Bitaxe is open-source hardware, no single company owns it. Instead, dozens of independent vendors build and sell boards from the same public design. That is great for choice and price, but it means you are really choosing a trustworthy shop, not a brand. This guide covers the reputable vendors, every model and price tier, and exactly what to check before you order.

Why there is no single Bitaxe store

The Bitaxe project publishes its schematics, PCB files, and AxeOS firmware openly. Anyone can manufacture a board, which is exactly the point: open hardware keeps the design honest and puts hashrate in thousands of homes rather than a few factories. The practical effect for you is that quality and support vary by vendor, so buying from an established shop matters more than chasing the lowest price.

Trusted Bitaxe vendors

These are well-known, community-recognised shops that sell assembled boards with genuine Bitmain chips and current firmware. Availability, region, and price differ, so compare a few before ordering:

Solo Satoshi. A US-based specialist with one of the widest Bitaxe ranges, from the entry Supra and Gamma up to the touchscreen Bitaxe Touch, the dual-chip Gamma Duo and GT, and NerdAxe boards. Good documentation and support for first-time miners.
Power Mining. A European vendor that describes itself as a trusted Bitaxe Gamma manufacturer with tens of thousands of units shipped across dozens of countries. Carries the Gamma, Gamma Turbo, and higher-hashrate NerdQaxe++ and NerdOctaxe boards. Convenient for EU buyers avoiding import fees.
TinyChipHub. A home-miner specialist stocking Bitaxe and related open-source boards aimed squarely at desktop solo mining. Worth checking for stock and regional shipping.

Beyond these, local resellers exist in most regions. The same rules apply everywhere: look for reviews, genuine chips, a clear warranty, and a vendor that gives back to the open-source community.

Bitaxe and NerdAxe models by price tier

Price scales almost entirely with chip count and hashrate. Here is the current line-up with approximate prices, which move with demand and chip supply, so always confirm on the vendor's page:

Model	Chips	Hashrate	Approx. price
Bitaxe Supra	1× BM1368	~0.65 TH/s	~70 USD
Bitaxe Gamma	1× BM1370	~1.2 TH/s	~60 to 120 USD
Bitaxe Touch	1× BM1370	~1.2 TH/s	~230 USD
Bitaxe Gamma Duo	2× BM1370	~1.63 TH/s	~105 to 120 USD
Bitaxe Gamma Turbo (GT)	2× BM1370	~2.2 TH/s	~175 to 210 USD
NerdAxe Gamma	1× BM1370	~1.0 TH/s	~160 to 170 USD
NerdQaxe++	4× BM1370	~4.8 to 6 TH/s	~400 to 460 USD
NerdOctaxe Gamma	8× BM1370	~9.6 TH/s	~700 USD

What to check before you buy

A Bitaxe is a simple device, but a few checks separate a great board from a frustrating one:

Genuine chip and latest revision. Confirm the listing states a real Bitmain chip (BM1370 for a Gamma) and the current board revision. Older revisions still work but miss efficiency and stability tweaks.
Assembled and tested. Unless you solder surface-mount ASICs yourself, buy an assembled, bench-tested board. It arrives ready to mine.
Power supply included or specified. Larger boards need a proper 5V supply, not a phone charger. Check whether one is bundled or which one the vendor recommends.
Warranty and support. A good vendor stands behind the board and answers questions. This matters more than saving a few dollars on an unknown seller.
Gives back to open source. Prefer vendors who contribute improvements and support the project, since that is what keeps the ecosystem healthy.

Avoiding clones and bad deals

Because the design is open, some sellers cut corners: old chips, cheap voltage regulators, or no support. The risk is rarely an outright scam, more often a board that runs hot, hashes below spec, or dies early. Protect yourself by buying from the established vendors above, reading recent reviews, and being suspicious of prices far below the going rate. If a Gamma is advertised at a fraction of everyone else's price, assume there is a reason.

After you buy: mine on mkpool

Once your board arrives, pointing it at a solo pool takes under a minute. In the AxeOS web interface, set the Stratum URL to btc.mkpool.com and the port to 3333, enter your own Bitcoin address as the username with a worker name, set the password to x, and save. For encrypted mining use port 3334 (TLS) or 3340 (Stratum V2).

Because mkpool is non-custodial and charges zero fees, any block your Bitaxe finds pays your wallet directly. New to the hardware? Start with the Bitaxe solo mining guide, plan a fleet if you want more odds, or check your chances with the solo mining chance calculator.

Disclaimer: Vendor listings, model availability and prices change constantly. The figures above are approximate and current as of July 2026, and the vendors named are examples, not endorsements. Always confirm specs, revision, and price on the seller's own page before buying, and do your own research. Nothing here is financial advice.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy a Bitaxe?

Because the Bitaxe is open-source hardware, many independent vendors manufacture and sell it. Trusted shops include Solo Satoshi, Power Mining, and TinyChipHub. Buy an assembled board from a vendor that uses genuine Bitmain chips, ships the latest revision, and offers support, rather than the cheapest unbranded clone.

How much does a Bitaxe cost?

Price scales with chip count. A single-chip Bitaxe Gamma runs roughly 60 to 120 USD depending on region and vendor. A dual-chip Gamma Turbo is about 175 to 210 USD, and multi-chip NerdQaxe boards range from around 400 USD for a NerdQaxe++ to about 700 USD for a NerdOctaxe.

Is it safe to buy a Bitaxe online?

Yes, from a reputable vendor. Because the design is open, the risk is not scams so much as poor build quality or old revisions. Buy from established shops with reviews, genuine Bitmain chips, clear warranty terms, and a track record in the community, and you will get a reliable board.

Should I buy an assembled Bitaxe or build my own?

For most people, an assembled board is the better choice. Self-sourcing parts and soldering a BM1370 chip is possible because the design is open, but it requires skill and equipment. Assembled boards from trusted vendors cost only a little more and arrive tested and ready to mine.

Which Bitaxe should a beginner buy?

The Bitaxe Gamma is the best starting point: one BM1370 chip, about 1.2 TH/s at 18 watts, nearly silent, and the cheapest way into real solo mining. Once you understand the setup you can add more boards as a fleet or step up to a dual-chip Gamma Turbo.

Do I need anything else besides the Bitaxe?

You need a 5V power supply suited to the board (a good barrel-jack or screw-terminal supply for larger models rather than a weak USB charger), a WiFi network, and a Bitcoin wallet address to receive rewards. Some vendors bundle a power supply; check the listing before ordering.
