On Sep. 23, Bitcoin’s hashrate set a new all-time high of 1,073 EH/s. Over the last month, raw compute rose about 21%.
Over the last quarter, roughly 70%. Over the last year, the curve went vertical, up around 675%.
Hashrate used to be a chart for miners and protocol nerds. Now it reads like a capital expenditure scoreboard for an industry you can trade.
Let’s answer the basic question quickly: What is hashrate, and why should anyone outside a mining warehouse care?
Hashrate is the total computational effort pointed at Bitcoin’s proof-of-work: i.e., how hard it would be to outvote the network and rewrite the ledger. More hashrate makes an attack more expensive and less practical. But the more interesting angle isn’t just “safety”; it’s what this says about the scale of the industry behind it.
You don’t get a zetahash without years of setting up facilities, installing transformers, hauling in container loads of machines, and locking in energy contracts big enough to powe
