 Bitmain announced the launch of a market volatility protection mechanism. Within three months after the customer purchases the S19j XP, if the market fluctuates more than 20% downward, Bitmain will provide compensation of $1.89/T.

The compensation program will be active for three months upon the purchase of Bitcoin (BTC) mining hardware of the most powerful series. 
Existing users of Bitmain&nbsp;S19J XP are also able to claim rewards in case of market instability. Such a statement was shared on <a href="https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/D7uTwyusQwP-vUwh25S1mw" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">WeChat</a> by the Bitmain team. 
Chinese cryptocurrency journalist and insider Colin Wu noticed the statement. 
In the last seven days, the Bitcoin (BTC) price lost 12%. As such, should it repeat this painful plunge, the first affected miners will be able to claim their compensations from Bitmain.

Bitmain's Antminer S19J XP is one of the most powerful Bitcoin (BTC) mining hardware devices ever. It produces 151 THashes per second, consuming 21.5 Joules per TH. This flagship model is offered for almost $5,000 on Bitmain's official website. 
There are no rigs in stock, but the first devices will be available in Q4, 2023. 
As covered by U.Today previously, USDT issuer Tether reaffirmed its commitment to gaining supremacy in the Bitcoin (BTC) mining segment. 
Last week, it introduced Moria, a Bitcoin (BTC) mining orchestrating software with the elements of AI and IoT.
