Рекордное повышение сложности биткоина: 150,8 Т и рост хешрейта Translation: Record Increase in Bitcoin Mining Difficulty: 150.8 T and Hashrate Growth

On October 1, following another recalibration, the mining difficulty of the leading cryptocurrency reached 150.8 terahashes (TH). This figure marked a 5.9% increase, setting a new all-time high.

The difficulty has been on the rise since mid-July, with the inter-block interval consistently remaining under 10 minutes, though it recently exceeded 11 minutes. The current forecast for this metric indicates a decline of 1.7%, bringing it down to 148.1 TH.

According to Glassnode, the hash rate (7-day moving average) has steadily remained above 1 zettahash (ZH/s).

Data from BitcoinMiningStock reveals that publicly traded mining companies have increased their share of the total computational power to 39.8%.

In terms of mining pools, Foundry USA has captured 29.7% of the hash rate, followed by AntPool with 15.5% and F2Pool with 14.8%. Together, these three entities control nearly 60%.

As reported by Hashrate Index, the hash price over the last 24 hours has risen from $49.8 to $50.3 per petahash per day. This increase in mining revenue correlated with the network difficulty adjustment and a recovery of digital gold, surpassing the $120,000 mark.

Additionally, it was reported at the end of September that Bitcoin miner TeraWulf is set to raise $3 billion for the construction of data centers with the assistance of Morgan Stanley.
