FutureBit puts its Apollo III miner on Micro Center shelves in four US cities

What goes on sale, and where

FutureBit will sell its Apollo III Full Node, a home Bitcoin miner that also runs a full node, through Micro Center from Friday, 13 November 2026. The device will be stocked in four of the retailer's locations: Brooklyn, New York; Miami, Florida; Tustin, California; and Austin, Texas.

The Austin shop opens its doors the same day, and FutureBit's launch is timed to that opening, according to the company's announcement on 12 November. Customers can also reserve an Apollo III online and pick it up at a store.

It is the first time the Brooklyn-based manufacturer has put a miner on physical retail shelves. Until now its hardware reached buyers through other channels.

A Brooklyn origin story

FutureBit founder John Stefanopoulos tied the launch to the company's early days, when its team shopped for components at the Brooklyn Micro Center. He said someone can now walk into that same shop, ask how Bitcoin mining works and leave with a miner designed nearby.

The company says it has built consumer mining hardware since 2015 and assembles it in the United States. Its pitch is that the machines are quiet enough and simple enough to run at home.

Why retail matters to the company

FutureBit frames the Micro Center deal as a way to reach shoppers who have never seen a mining rig in person, and as part of its stated goal of spreading Bitcoin mining across more individual users rather than large facilities. Micro Center's stores draw heavy foot traffic, the announcement notes, which gives the miner visibility beyond specialist buyers.

The announcement did not disclose the Apollo III's price, the number of units allocated to the four stores, or whether more locations will follow. Micro Center has not separately commented on the arrangement.
