"$BTC Bitcoin Network Hashrate Hits 667 EH/s in July, U.S. Miners Boost Output"
In July, the $BTC Bitcoin network's hashrate climbed 6% to hit 667 exahashes per second (EH/s), marking its highest level since May. This metric serves as a key indicator of competition and mining challenges in the proof-of-work ecosystem.
Publicly traded U.S. mining firms produced 3,622 bitcoins last month, an increase from 3,379 in June, representing 26% of the overall network—up from 25% the prior month.
IREN led the pack by mining 728 BTC, with MARA Holdings close behind at 703 BTC, according to the analysis.
MARA continues to boast the sector's top energized hashrate at 58.9 EH/s by July's end, followed by CleanSpark at 50 EH/s.
Daily revenue per EH/s also saw a slight uptick, with a theoretical 1 EH/s mining operation pulling in about $57,000 per day in July, compared to $56,000 in June and $50,000 a year earlier.
