Bitcoin’s hashrate just cranked things up another notch, blasting to 1,164 exahash per second (EH/s) on Sunday at 2:40 p.m. Eastern time.

Bitcoin’s Hashrate Rockets While Revenue Improves

Fresh off its 1,157 EH/s high just two days back, Bitcoin’s hashrate has casually leveled up—adding another 7 EH/s to hit 1,164 EH/s, or for those who love big numbers, a cool 1.164 zettahash per second (ZH/s).

According to current hashrate stats, as of 11:45 a.m. on Oct. 20, Bitcoin’s hashrate is cruising at 1,154.16 EH/s. Leading the charge is Foundry USA, mempool.space metrics show, flexing 334.18 EH/s—roughly 28.96% of the entire network’s muscle.

Antpool’s holding steady with about 199.24 EH/s, making up 17.26% of Bitcoin’s total hashrate. Together with Foundry, this powerhouse duo controls a hefty 46.22% of the network.

Coming in third is ViaBTC with 135.99 EH/s, roughly 11.78% of the total, while F2pool and Spiderpool round out the top five at 122.29 EH/s and 92.77 EH/s, respectively. With BTC’s price on the upswing, hashprice—the estimated value of one petahash per second (PH/s)—has inched higher too.

Hashrate distribution among the top 20 pools according to metrics on Oct. 20, 2025.

In just 24 hours, the hashprice climbed 3.14%, rising from $46.51 to $47.97 per PH/s. Even so, the hashprice remains 6.89% below its Sept. 20, 2025 level. Over the past day, miners have been raking in an average of 3.14 BTC per block—though just 0.60% of that comes from onchain fees.

Bitcoin’s mining game is firing on all cylinders, with hashrate milestones stacking up and hashprice ticking higher in step with BTC’s price climb. Foundry and Antpool continue to dominate the charts, while 84 distinct smaller pools keep the competition lively.

Despite hashprice trailing its Sept. 20 level, miners remain locked in and laser-focused, proving once again that Bitcoin’s network isn’t just strong—it’s relentlessly pushing the limits of digital grit and computational endurance.
