A French company made a product along these lines already, but I don’t think it’s been updated since 2018: https://blog.qarnot.com/introducing-the-qc-1-crypto-heater/

It’s true this is as good as resistive heating in terms of heating efficiency, but it is still far less efficient than a heat pump. Unless you are in an area with a large excess of renewable energy it probably doesn’t make sense environmentally to use an asic heater.
