"The system is built around next-generation 3nm American-designed ASICs and a custom in-house controller, marking the first U.S.-engineered Bitcoin ASIC paired with a domestically built hardware platform in a consumer desktop form factor, according to a note shared with Bitcoin Magazine. The Apollo III continues FutureBit's mission to decentralize hash power through low-power, individual-focused systems. Founder John Stefanopoulos highlighted the device's role in strengthening Bitcoin decentralization, referencing the company's 2024 milestone of mining a modern-era sovereign solo block."
""In 2024, our customers mined one of the first modern- era sovereign solo blocks, sending shockwaves through the industry and proving that industrial scale wasn't a prerequisite for meaningful participation in Bitcoin," Stefanopoulos said. "Apollo III expands that possibility. Nearly 20 terahash of efficient, accessible hash power in the hands of individuals strengthens the decentralization that Bitcoin was built for.""
"Key specifications include up to 18 TH/s in Turbo Mode, up to 15 J/TH efficiency in Eco Mode, an integrated full Bitcoin node with solo mining capability, and a desktop lass controller featuring 8 ARM cores, 8 GB RAM, and a 2 TB SSD. Designed for continuous operation in a home or office, Apollo III provides more than 10 TH/s while consuming power similar to standard household electronics."
The Apollo III pairs a high-performance miner with an integrated full Bitcoin node in a desktop form factor. The system uses next-generation 3nm American-designed ASICs and a custom in-house controller, representing the first U.S.-engineered Bitcoin ASIC on a domestically built consumer hardware platform. The device targets individual operators to decentralize hash power with a low-power, continuous-use design. It delivers up to 18 TH/s in Turbo Mode and up to 15 J/TH in Eco Mode, and includes a desktop-class controller with 8 ARM cores, 8 GB RAM, and a 2 TB SSD. The unit provides more than 10 TH/s while consuming household-level power and supports solo mining.
