On Wednesday, Sept. 10, data showed Bitcoin’s total hashrate climbed to 1,027 exahash per second (EH/s), notching another record high after bouncing back from a brief dip four days earlier.
Bitcoin’s Powerhouse Hashrate
Just as bitcoin’s price these days seems perfectly at home above the $100,000 range, the network’s computational strength has been flexing comfortably around the 1 zettahash per second (ZH/s) mark. Metrics indicate the hashrate reached a lifetime peak of 1,027 EH/s, based on the seven-day simple moving average (SMA) figures tracked by Luxor’s hashrateindex.com.

On Sept. 2, the hashrate peaked at 1,013 EH/s before slipping to 951 EH/s by Sept. 6. Since then, it’s been back in overdrive, steering toward the newest all-time high. As of 7:56 p.m. Eastern time, computational power was cruising at 1,020.17 EH/s. Block intervals are moving faster, with the average block time at 9 minutes 17 seconds, and the network sits 44% away from its next difficulty adjustment slated for Sept. 18.

With block times running quicker, the next adjustment is projected to be steeper, with current estimates pointing to a 7.67% hike. Still, with a little over 1,100 blocks remaining in the epoch, the outcome could easily shift higher or lower. As of Sept. 10, the leading 12 mining pools are Foundry USA, Antpool, ViaBTC, F2pool, Spiderpool, MARA Pool, Luxor, SEC Pool, Binance Pool, SBI Crypto, Braiins Pool, and Ocean Pool.
Foundry leads the field with 287 exahash per second (EH/s), while Antpool delivers around 159 EH/s. F2pool contributes 125 EH/s, and ViaBTC maintains 119 EH/s. Spiderpool adds roughly 73 EH/s, accounting for about 7.8% of the global total. Altogether, these five pools command 763 EH/s, which represents about 74.44% of the overall 1,025 EH/s hashrate. But while the hashrate may be climbing to record heights, miner revenue is down 8.39% compared with 30 days ago.
Currently, 1 petahash per second (PH/s) of hashing power is valued at $53.10 per day. On Aug. 10, the hashprice figure was $57.96 per PH/s, meaning miners are earning $4.86 less for every PH/s that contributes to the network. While Bitcoin’s expanding computational might highlights the network’s relentless growth, miner earnings reveal the harsher side of scaling. As efficiency accelerates, profitability always faces pressure, pointing to the constant balancing act between advancing technology and leaner rewards within the mining sector.
