This chart shows the moving average of the Bitcoin network hashrate (total mining power securing the network). Let me explain what is happening in simple terms 📊
1️⃣ The Overall Trend
Early period: around 820 EH/s
Peak: about 1.12 ZH/s (1120 EH/s)
Current: around 1.05 ZH/s
So overall the network grew strongly during the year, meaning more miners joined or upgraded hardware.
2️⃣ The Big Drop in 2026
You can see a sharp dip near the start of 2026 where hashrate fell to about 900 EH/s.
This kind of drop usually happens because of:
⚡ Power outages or energy restrictions
🏭 Mining farms temporarily shutting down
💰 Low mining profitability
🔧 Hardware upgrades or maintenance
But notice something important 👇
➡️ The hashrate recovered quickly, which means miners came back online.
3️⃣ What This Means for Bitcoin
When hashrate behaves like this:
✔ Network security stays very strong
✔ Mining competition remains high
✔ Mining difficulty will adjust accordingly
High hashrate = strong confidence from miners.
4️⃣ Important Insight
Even after the drop, the network is still around 1+ ZH/s, which is near the highest level ever.
That means:
Mining infrastructure is still expanding
Big miners are still investing
The network is extremely secure 🔒
5️⃣ What Traders Watch
Smart traders watch hashrate because:
📈 Rising hashrate → bullish long-term signal
📉 Falling hashrate → miner stress / bearish pressure
But temporary dips like this are normal.
✅ Conclusion:
This chart actually shows a strong Bitcoin network, with only a temporary shock.
If you want, I can also show you something very interesting happening right now between Bitcoin price and hashrate that many traders completely miss. 📉📈
