Business Description
AKminer Technologies, registered in Shenzhen's Baoan District, Guangdong, China, distributes ASIC mining hardware to individual buyers and enterprise-scale farms worldwide through akminer.com.
The catalog covers hardware for multiple proof-of-work algorithms: SHA-256 (Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash), Scrypt (Litecoin, Dogecoin), Equihash (Zcash, Horizen), KHeavyHash (Kaspa), Blake3 (Alephium), and HNS (Handshake). Current inventory includes the Bitmain Antminer S21 at 188, 200 TH/s ($2,999, $3,399), the Antminer AL1 at 15.6 TH/s for Kaspa ($9,299), the Antminer Z15 Pro at 840 KSol/s for Zcash ($2,399), the IceRiver KS5M at 15 TH/s ($1,599), and the Goldshell AL-BOX III at 1.25 TH/s for Alephium ($599 on pre-order). Price points run from sub-$600 for entry-level altcoin machines to nearly $10,000 for high-density Kaspa units.
Vendor relationships cover seven named manufacturers: Bitmain, Goldshell, IceRiver, MicroBT (Whatsminer), Canaan, Innosilicon, and IBelink. AKminer describes direct factory procurement channels that allow pre-order listings ahead of general retail availability, a supply-chain position that separates AKminer from strictly secondary-market hardware resellers. The Antminer AL1 and Goldshell AL-BOX III are both currently listed on pre-order on the storefront.
AKminer also runs a co-location and hosting service under the AKminer Smart Farms brand: facilities in China mainland, equipped with temperature-controlled environments, constant airflow sensors, and redundant fiber-optic internet, with a stated 99% uptime target. The service lets buyers keep purchased units operational in China without importing them.
International orders ship from the Shenzhen warehouse via DHL, UPS, FedEx, or TNT air express. Standard international delivery is quoted at 5, 7 business days; DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) shipments run 8, 10 days. ZoomInfo records the company's headcount at 11, 50 employees.
AKminer has operated since approximately 2017, when China-based ASIC distributors were scaling e-commerce channels to reach retail buyers unable to procure directly from Shenzhen manufacturers. Product listings separate warranted new units from used or refurbished stock sold without after-sales coverage, giving purchasers across budget tiers explicit visibility into support terms. The Antminer AL-series and IceRiver KS-series, covering Kaspa and Alephium respectively, now fill multiple featured slots on AKminer's storefront, a sign of the post-2023 diversification of ASIC development beyond SHA-256.
