As bitcoin’s valuation experiences a notable upswing, miners are deriving substantial monetary benefits from an elevated hashprice—the metric denoting every day income earned per petahash per second (PH/s) of computational energy dedicated to the Bitcoin community.
BTC Mining Revenues Soar as Hashprice Climbs
Miners have seen a marked enhance in profitability as BTC exceeded the $105,000 threshold on Fri. On Jan. 13, hashprice descended to its lowest stage inside the previous 30 days, with the valuation of 1 PH/s estimated at $52.22, per information from hashrateindex.com. By right this moment, this determine has climbed to $60.85 per petahash, reflecting a 16.53% enhance since Mon.

Regardless of this enchancment, present hashprice stays beneath the 30-day peak of $63.81 per petahash, noticed on Dec. 17—a date carefully aligned with BTC’s ascent to $108,364 per coin, an all-time excessive.

In accordance with projections from hashrateindex.com, the adjustment may lead to a 3.06% decline, although this estimation could shift because the week progresses.
As of right this moment, Foundry instructions the biggest share of the community’s computational sources, contributing 33.23% of the entire hashrate, equal to 260 EH/s. Antpool ranks second, managing 138 EH/s, which constitutes 17.62% of the entire, whereas Viabtc follows with 106 EH/s, or 13.6%.
