Bitcoin has always been praised for being decentralized. But now, that core idea of Bitcoin decentralization is being questioned; not by skeptics, but by data.
Mining power is concentrating, security assumptions are getting tested, and a quiet debate is starting: Is Bitcoin becoming too centralized?
Surprisingly, Cardano is coming out ahead in some of these metrics. The charts paint a clear contrast. Let’s look at the numbers, the risks, and why decentralization might not mean what it used to.
Bitcoin Decentralization at Risk
Over the past few months, just three mining pools — Foundry USA, AntPool, and ViaBTC — have come to control 62.33% of Bitcoin’s entire network hashrate.
That means more than half of the Bitcoin network is managed by three organizations.

Here’s how the split looked:

AntPool: 14.85%
ViaBTC: 13.85%
Others like F2Pool, Luxor, MaraPool, and Binance Pool each had under 5%
