Bitcoin hashrate today
The total computing power securing Bitcoin, updated daily, with a year of history.
What the number means
Hashrate is the total computing power securing Bitcoin: every ASIC on the network guessing SHA-256 hashes, added up. Today that is about 1,008 exahashes every second. A year ago the 7-day average was 1,141 EH/s.
For a miner, hashrate is the competition. Block rewards are split by share of the total, so the network is the yardstick for any fleet. The network shrank 11.7% in the past twelve months, so a fleet that kept all its machines running now earns a slightly larger slice of each block.
What moves it
- New machines. Each ASIC generation does more hashes per joule; when they ship in volume, hashrate climbs. See the models by maker on aPanel.
- Price and hashprice. Higher revenue per terahash brings older machines back online; a squeeze switches them off. See today's hashprice.
- Power and weather. Miners curtail during grid peaks and heat waves, which shows up as dips in the daily average.
- Difficulty. Every 2,016 blocks the network re-aims block time at ten minutes; the next adjustment follows the hashrate.
Questions
- What is Bitcoin's hashrate today?
- About 1,008 EH/s (exahashes per second) as of Oct 13, 2026, estimated from the time between recent blocks.
- How is hashrate measured?
- Nobody can count the machines directly. Hashrate is estimated from how often blocks are found at the current difficulty: faster blocks mean more hashing power is pointed at the network.
- Why does hashrate matter to miners?
- Your machines' share of the network hashrate is your expected share of the block rewards. When network hashrate rises and your fleet does not, your daily bitcoin falls.
- What is an exahash?
- One quintillion (10^18) SHA-256 hashes per second. A modern ASIC such as a 200 TH/s machine is 0.0002 EH/s, so roughly five million of them make up 1,000 EH/s.
