Bitcoin Hashrate Increases 32% in 3 Months, Stealth Miners Command 12% of BTC's Hashpower

Bitcoin’s hashrate has been increasing a great deal during the last three months, as it’s increased more than 32% from 103 exahash per second (EH/s) on July 25 to today’s 137 EH/s, with a few highs in between around the 189 EH/s mark. Bitcoin’s price spike has pushed the hashrate higher and in a week’s time, the overall mining difficulty is expected to increase for the eighth time in a row.

Bitcoin Hashrate Steadily Rises Higher

As bitcoin’s price is still more than 30% higher during the last month, even after the fall below the $60K region, the network’s mining power has increased a great deal. Three-month statistics show that Bitcoin’s hashpower has jumped above the 160 EH/s zone nine times since July 25 and over 180 EH/s once so far.

At that time three months ago, BTC’s hashrate was steadily recovering from the bitcoin mining crackdown in China and the mass migration that followed. The hashrate and bitcoin’s spot price was much lower three months ago, as the network’s processing power was hovering just above 100 exahash per second.

The network’s security and processing power increased 32% since then as the price lift has made it so miners are far more profitable than they were in late July. On October 24, with 137 EH/s dedicated to the Bitcoin blockchain, and the current BTC exchange rate, gives most mining rigs the ability to rake in profits.

Top ASIC Bitcoin Miners Rake in $37 per Day, Stealth Miners Command 12% of the Network Hashrate, Difficulty up 39%

The Microbt Whatsminer M30S++ with 112 terahash per second (TH/s) of hashrate can make $37.47 per day with current BTC prices and $0.12 per kilowatt-hour of electricity per day. Bitmain’s Antminer S19 Pro with 110 TH/s under the hood gets $37.26 per day at the same electricity rate and Sunday’s BTC exchange rates.

Today, the largest mining pool dedicating hashrate to the Bitcoin (BTC) network is F2pool with 17.56% of the network’s hashpower or 26.31 EH/s. F2pool is followed by Antpool’s 17.11% or 25.65 EH/s, Viabtc’s 12% or 17.98 EH/s, and unknown hashrate, otherwise known as stealth miners, command 12% as well or 17.98 EH/s as well.

In seven days, the Bitcoin network mining difficulty adjustment is expected as well and it’s estimated to increase by 2.20% from 20.08 trillion to 20.52 trillion. It will be the eight difficulty increase in a row as BTC’s difficulty has increased by 39.94% over the last seven difficulty adjustment algorithm changes.
