Bitcoin's hash rate has recently surged to unprecedented levels, reaching between 813 and 823 exahashes per second (EH/s) as of January 3, 20251. This significant increase in computational power highlights the growing confidence and competition among miners, contributing to the network's stability and security2.
This surge coincides with Bitcoin's 16th anniversary, marking a milestone in its journey since the Genesis block was mined by Satoshi Nakamoto on January 3, 20091. The increased hash rate also reflects the ongoing advancements in mining technology and the dedication of mining pools to maintain the network's integrity12.
