Overview

  • Bitinfocharts recorded a peak hash rate of 1.12 billion TH/s on September 12, while Blockchain.com’s seven-day average reached about 1.03 ZH/s.
  • The network’s mining difficulty set a new high at 136.04T after the latest adjustment, with only a brief dip in hash rate before a rebound.
  • CoinWarz currently estimates the next adjustment on September 18 could rise about 6.4% to roughly 144.72T, a projection that may change.
  • CryptoQuant data show miner-held balances rose to a 50-day high of 1.808 million BTC on September 9, pointing to reduced near-term selling.
  • The surge accompanied a recent Bitcoin price uptick and strong U.S. spot ETF inflows, as one analyst noted larger, efficient miners may accumulate while smaller operators scale back.
