#BTCHashratePeak Bitcoin's hash rate recently hit a new peak, surpassing 544 exahashes per second (EH/s) on December 25, 2024. This milestone represents a significant increase in the network's computing power, with hash rates more than doubling since January 2024, growing by 130%. Here's what's notable about this achievement¹:
- *Hash Rate Growth*: The Bitcoin network's hash rate has reached an all-time high, demonstrating the network's increasing security and robustness.
- *Impact on Miners*: Despite the high hash rate, miners are facing declining profitability due to the drop in hash price, which has plummeted to $0.09 per terahash per second per day.
- *Network Performance*: The elevated hash rate is excellent for the network's security and theoretical price models, but it poses challenges for miners who must work harder to secure the next block.
Some notable hash rate achievements include²:
- *HIVE Digital Technologies*: Achieved a 58% peak hashrate growth in one month, surpassing 10 EH/s in May 2025, with plans to reach 25 EH/s by year-end.
- *Global Network Share*: H
