#BTCHashratePeak

Bitcoin has reached an all-time high in computing capacity, signaling unmatched network protection and heightened miner rivalry despite shrinking margins and fluctuating prices. This year marked the first surpassing of the zettahash threshold (1 ZH/s), though extended averages remained slightly below due to block-time shifts. Increased processing power often leads to tougher mining conditions, pushing out less capable participants and driving faster hardware advancements and industry consolidation. The surge is fueled by large-scale mining growth, better equipment performance, and sustained trust in Bitcoin’s security framework. It also highlights the hashprice squeeze, with rising difficulty, modest transaction fees, and earnings per EH hitting historic lows.
