Bitcoin Ends the Year Strong: Hashrate Reaches Record-Breaking 808 EH/s
Bitcoin celebrated New Year’s Eve with a record-breaking hashrate of 808 EH/s, marking another milestone in its 16-year evolution.
The network’s computational power peaked on Dec. 31, 2024, surpassing the previous high of 806 EH/s set weeks earlier. This surge, coupled with a 1.16% increase in mining difficulty to 109.78 trillion, highlights the growing challenges miners face.
As of Jan. 1, 2025, the network maintains a robust 799.99 EH/s, supported by 62 mining pools. From its humble beginnings at 948,000 H/s, Bitcoin’s explosive growth reflects its resilience and the mining community’s adaptability, setting the stage for further achievements in 2025.
