In August 2025, the Bitcoin network’s computing power reached an all-time high. The hashrate climbed to 976 EH/s, up from 892 EH/s at the beginning of the month. Mining difficulty also set a new record at 127.6 trillion. This surge is driven by the deployment of more efficient ASIC hardware, expanded mining investments, and the entry of new participants into the network. The development reflects a significant strengthening of the network’s security and stability, even as Bitcoin’s price has remained relatively steady.
