Bitcoin’s Hashrate Blasts to 970 EH/s as Mining Power Hits Insane New Record
On Thursday, as bitcoin bounced back from recent lows, the network’s computing firepower hit a record-breaking 970 exahash per second (EH/s).
From Exahash to Zettahash: Bitcoin’s March Toward 1,000 EH/s Gets Closer
Bitcoin’s processing strength topped its previous high of 946 EH/s, notching a new milestone at 970 EH/s that day. Right now, the hashrate is cruising at 967.20 EH/s—just shy of that fresh peak.
The jump in hashrate has quickened block intervals, which had recently slowed below the 10-minute mark. Currently, blocks are being found slightly faster, averaging 9 minutes and 51 seconds. As of now, 187 blocks remain until the next difficulty adjustment.
If blocks continue to arrive at this pace, the next difficulty shift could be an increase. That change is tentatively set for Aug. 8, 2025, with a projected rise of 1.46%—though that estimate may still shift. Meanwhile, with the hashrate flirting with 1,000 EH/s, Bitcoin is edging ever closer to hitting a full zettahash per second (ZH/s) and holding steady at that level.
