$BTC — Bitcoin mining hashrate is expected to grow in 2025, driven by increasing institutional involvement and advancements in mining technology. At the end of 2024, the United States accounted for over 40% of the global Bitcoin network hashrate, with Foundry USA leading the way. Foundry’s hashrate surged from 157 EH/s at the start of 2024 to 280 EH/s by December, making it the largest mining pool, controlling 36.5% of the total hashrate. Institutional interest continues to rise, with companies using their capital to deploy more mining rigs, reflecting growing optimism in the industry. Additionally, next-gen mining hardware, such as the X21 series and MicroBT’s M6X, is enabling miners to boost computational power at lower costs. As these factors combine, Bitcoin’s hashrate is set to rise, enhancing the network's security and efficiency throughout 2025.
