Bitcoin surpasses 1 ZH/s hashrate for the first time

The Bitcoin network has hit a historic milestone, exceeding 1 Zetahash per second (ZH/s) — equal to 1,000 Exahash/s — for the first time. This marks a 1,000x increase compared to 2016 when Bitcoin first reached 1 EH/s.

The surge is driven by major mining firms like MARA Holdings, Foundry USA Pool, and AntPool, which are investing heavily in next-gen mining machines.

The milestone comes as BTC price drops nearly 10% to around $75,202, amid recession fears sparked by President Donald Trump’s new tariff plans. Despite short-term volatility, the hashrate record reflects strong long-term confidence in Bitcoin’s security and decentralization.
