US accounts for over 40% of global Bitcoin hashrate: Report

January 4, 2025 Coin Telegraph

Hashrate dominance continues to be debated due to the pseudonymous and geographically distributed nature of Bitcoin mining.

The United States accounted for over 40% of the Bitcoin network’s global hashrate — the total computing power securing the Bitcoin protocol — at the close of 2024, with two US-based mining pools, Foundry USA and MARA Pool, accounting for over 38.5% of all blocks mined.

According to TheMinerMag, Foundry USA grew its hashrate from 157 exahashes per second (EH/s) at the start of 2024 to roughly 280 EH/s by December.

Foundry is currently the single biggest mining pool by hashrate, controlling roughly 36.5% of the total hashrate in the Bitcoin network.

Bitcoin ASIC maker Bitmain expands production line into US

December 10, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Antminer S21 Pro

It comes as US Bitcoin miners have had to deal with delayed deliveries of Bitmain ASICs that have been stuck at US ports of entry for weeks.

Bitcoin mining hardware firm Bitmain says it has expanded its production line to the United States to improve supply chain efficiency, while trade tensions continue to escalate between China and the US.

“This strategic move aims to provide faster response times and more efficient services to the North American customers,” China-based Bitmain said in a Dec. 9 X post.

Bitmain is a crypto mining equipment manufacturer known for designing application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) chips, with reports estimating it holds as much as a 90% marketshare of Bitcoin miners.

Bitcoin hashrate hits all-time high, boosting network security

October 21, 2024 Coin Telegraph

Bitcoin

The increasing Bitcoin hashrate and block reward reduction from the Bitcoin halving may lead to miner consolidation among smaller firms.

The Bitcoin hashrate has reached a new all-time high, showcasing the growing security of the world’s first blockchain network.

The Bitcoin network hashrate — the total computing power securing the Bitcoin network — reached an all-time high of 769.8 exahashes per second (EH/s) on Oct. 21.

The hashrate has been in a steady uptrend since 2021, BitInfoCharts data shows. The hashrate’s escalation is widely correlated with developments in mining hardware like application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs).
