Four days ago, Bitcoin’s hash rate reached an all-time high of 976 exahash (EH/s), but it was then cooled down and settled in the 900 EH/s range.

On August 8, 2025, the network’s computing power reached a whopping 976 EH/s based on a 7-day simple moving average (SMA). As of today, the hashrate is close to 900 EH/s over four days, with a block height of 909,216, which has increased the difficulty of 1.42%.

According to statistics from HashrateIndex.com, at the time, the estimated hashprice was $57.30 per PH/s, and today it’s 2.55% higher at $58.76. Hashpris rose to $59.78 per Petahash yesterday as BTC pushed beyond the $120,000 range. Current revenue is 4.72% below the July 14 mark, when Hashpris reached $61.67. The increased difficulty of the network appears to be the perpetrator pushing the hashrate lower.

A low hashrate causes the block interval to be slower than a 10 minute target. As of 1:20pm on Tuesday, the average block time is 11 minutes and 4 seconds. At slower intervals, you can set downward adjustments on August 24, 2025 at the next difficulty level. If the remaining 1,500 or more blocks are changed and are subject to change, then, at least for now, a mining difficulty of an estimated 9.64% will be reduced to the table.
A softer difficulty setting can relieve pressure, seduce online sidelined rigs and stabilize block cadence. If price momentum is applied, a rise in unit revenue could offset weaker output and steady participation. If it declines, integration between operators could be faster. Currently, the five main mine pools with mined blocks are Foundry, Antpool, Viabtc, F2pool, and Spider Pool. Combined, the collection of entities controls 78.39% of the total hashrate.
