Bitcoin’s hashrate continues to soar, breaking records and reaching new heights. On September 8, 2024, the total hashrate of the Bitcoin network surged to an impressive 692.28 exahash per second (EH/s), surpassing the previous record set on July 25. This significant increase marks a milestone for Bitcoin, showcasing the network’s growing computational power and resilience.
The rapid growth in Bitcoin’s hashrate is evident, with a staggering 299 EH/s increase since September 8, 2023, representing a remarkable 76.15% growth in just one year. In the past week alone, the hashrate has climbed by 66 EH/s, demonstrating the network’s strength and robustness. Despite the mining difficulty reaching new highs and miner revenue facing challenges, Bitcoin’s hashrate continues to rise steadily.
The hashprice, which indicates the estimated value of 1 petahash per second (PH/s), has slightly decreased to $38.55 per PH/s as of September 8, according to Luxor’s hashrateindex.com. This adjustment reflects the evolving dynamics of the mining ecosystem and the increasing competitiveness within the network.
The surge in Bitcoin’s hashrate has led to faster block intervals, with blocks being mined approximately every 9 minutes and 28 seconds. This accelerated pace sets the stage for the upcoming difficulty adjustment on September 10, projected to increase by 5.48%. If this estimate holds true, the network’s difficulty will surpass the previous all-time high, reinforcing Bitcoin’s resilience and adaptability.
The continuous growth in Bitcoin’s hashrate signifies the network’s expanding influence and stability in the cryptocurrency market. As the network approaches the 700 EH/s milestone, it highlights Bitcoin’s enduring presence and dominance in the digital asset space.
