Hashrate Index Roundup (August 25, 2025)

Hello world, happy Monday!

TLDR

A red bag for this week's update: Bitcoin is down, hashrate is down, difficulty is up, fees are down; hashprice is down.

Over the past week, miners collected a total of ~3,272 BTC in block rewards, equivalent to ~$374 million. Transaction fees constituted 0.66% of block rewards totalling 22 BTC, equivalent to ~$2.48 million.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin trended down throughout the past week, decreasing by 4.10% from ~114,931 to a current price of ~$110,223. Year-to-date performance stands at +17.93%.

Hashprice

USD hashprice decreased by 5.08% from $56.89 per PH/s/Day to a current $54.00 per PH/s/Day.

BTC hashprice decreased by 0.30% from 0.00048898 BTC per PH/s/Day to 0.00048750 BTC per PH/s/Day.

Hashrate & Difficulty

Network hashrate fell by 1.55%, with the 7-day simple moving average (SMA) moving from 966EH/s to 951EH/s. The 30-day SMA currently stands at 939 EH/s.

The latest difficulty adjustment took place on August 22, increasing network difficulty by 0.20% to 129.70T.

Blocks were found at an average time of around 9 minutes 36 seconds over the past 24 hours.

We currently estimate* an increase of ~4.10% for the upcoming adjustment, expected to occur on September 5.

*This estimate should be taken with a grain of salt given that we are so early into a difficulty epoch. Early on, difficulty predictions are relatively shaky because of short-term variance. However, as time (or blocks) pass, the noise fades and the signal sharpens.

At $54 per PH/s/Day, hashprice is close to – or at – breakeven for many miners depending on operating cost and machine model type. Improve the hashrate and efficiency of your S19 and S21 series rigs by downloading LuxOS firmware today!

Transaction Fees

Over the past week, miners collected an average of 0.0207 BTC (per block per day) in transaction fees, compared to the prior week's 0.0245 BTC, a 15% decrease.

Looking Forward

For this week's Hashrate Forward Market update, the forward market is pricing in an average hashprice of $51.09 or 0.00045 BTC over the next six months.
