21 января вычислительная мощность (хешрейт) в сети биткоина упала до 983 EH/s (экзахеш в секунду), по данным обозревателя Mempool.space. Это на 25% ниже, чем рекорд, зафиксированный в октябре около 1310 EH/s. Динамика показателя говорит о снижении активности майнеров — уменьшении совокупной мощности всего оборудования, активно добывающего криптовалюту.
Средний хешрейт за сутки на дату написания составляет около 1 тыс. EH/s — 1,01 ZH/s (зетахеш в секунду). Его максимум тоже был зафиксирован четыре месяца назад на уровне 1,13 ZH/s.
Пиковые значения хешрейта пришлись на период после достижения биткоином максимума около $126 тыс. в начале октября. В последующие месяцы по мере падения курса криптовалюты с небольшим отставанием снижалась и активность майнеров.
Но падение хешрейта ведет к снижению сложности майнинга. По данным Cloverpool, 22 января она может упасть до 141,6 Т (трлн), на 3,33%. Это может стать сильнейшей корректировкой в сторону понижения с июня 2025 года.
Hashprice Index — показатель доходности майнинга в расчете на мощность оборудования 1 PH/s (петахеш в секунду) с начала недели упал с $41 до $38. Это вызвано снижением курса биткоина в этот период с $95 тыс. до $89 тыс. Но возможное предстоящее снижение сложности майнинга может немного поднять показатель доходности, при условии, что цена биткоина не продолжит обвал.
Несмотря на рост сложности в 2025 году, по оценкам оператора дата-центров Intelion, майнинг остается доходным при использовании оборудования последних поколений. Доходность таких устройств в прошлом году превысила 60%.
$BTC #Mining

The term “mining” is inseparable from discussions about cryptocurrency.
Mining is the process of verifying transactions and adding new blocks to the Bitcoin blockchain network (Dirgantara, 2023). This process also generates new bitcoins, which are then released into circulation. Mining is performed by solving complex mathematical puzzles. It is called “mining” because, through the validation of transactions and the addition of new blocks to the blockchain, new bitcoins are created—similar to how mining gold requires effort and resources.
Likewise, Bitcoin mining requires significant computational power. To validate Bitcoin transactions, miners compete to solve cryptographic puzzles using specialized computers known as Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). The mining process is governed by a mechanism called Proof of Work (PoW), which regulates how new transaction blocks are added to the blockchain.
Once data is recorded on the blockchain, it cannot be altered, because any change would modify the hash of that block and all subsequent blocks. A hash itself is a cryptographic output consisting of 64 hexadecimal characters, which makes the system highly secure and extremely difficult to tamper with.
Between 2020 and 2024, miners who successfully mined Bitcoin received a reward of 6.25 BTC per block. This reward is reduced approximately every four years in order to maintain Bitcoin’s scarcity and long-term value. This reduction process is known as the Bitcoin Halving.

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister has revealed plans to mine #Bitcoin and other crypto assets with clean energy. This move makes the country join other nations that use sovereign wealth funds for Bitcoin mining, boosting crypto adoption.
Ethiopia Will Start Bitcoin and Crypto Mining
Ethiopia plans a more active approach in the government-sponsored crypto and Bitcoin mining, according to an X post on January 19. The country is currently looking for an investment partner to mine Bitcoin.
Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed confirmed the plans during the Finance Forward Ethiopia 2026 conference. It is part of the government initiative to strengthen financial inclusion, develop country’s financial sector, and boost capital markets and digitalization.
The country will likely engage in direct Bitcoin mining through Ethiopian #Investment Holdings (EIH), Africa’s largest sovereign wealth fund. The country’s government actively promotes and licenses crypto mining.
He mentioned the strategy to harness the country’s abundant renewable energy resources for Bitcoin #mining to generate revenue and economic growth. This makes Ethiopia another country to adopt Bitcoin.
Nations with Government-Sponsored BTC Mining
Ethiopia is among the list of countries pursuing Bitcoin mining with government resources, according to asset manager VanEck. Matthew Sigel, head of digital assets research at VanEck, noted that more #governments are sponsoring Bitcoin miners.
Ethiopia has leveraged its massive Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) and other hydropower projects for Bitcoin and crypto mining. The Prime Minister’s latest statement indicates a shift toward Bitcoin adoption as a strategic reserve rather than generating profits through foreign partners.
However, the country halted new crypto mining licenses last year due to electric grid strain. #Cheap energy has attracted many international Bitcoin mining firms. Notably, the UAE-based Phoenix Group announced a partnership with Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP), the nation’s state-owned utility, for a new mining data center.
Other countries with government-sponsored Bitcoin mining include Russia, France, Bhutan, El Salvador, and the UAE. Japan became the 11th country to join the list. Japan has witnessed massive crypto adoption, with Metaplanet as the fourth-largest Bitcoin treasury.
Many countries have adopted a Bitcoin reserve strategy and crypto adoption plans following US President Donald Trump’s pro-crypto policies.

What is Bitcoin Hash Rate?
Bitcoin’s hash rate is the metric that shows how many hash calculations are being performed on the Bitcoin network every second.
In simple terms, it represents the total computing power used by miners to verify transactions and create new blocks.
Why Hash Rate Matters 🔐
The higher the hash rate, the stronger and more secure the Bitcoin network becomes.
A high hash rate makes it extremely difficult for any single entity or group to attack or manipulate the network.
That’s why hash rate is often seen as a sign of Bitcoin’s strength and resilience.
Connection with Mining & Difficulty ⚙️
Hash rate is directly linked to mining and difficulty adjustment:
When more miners join the network, the hash rate increases.
Bitcoin automatically increases mining difficulty so that new blocks are still produced roughly every 10 minutes.
If the hash rate drops, the difficulty is reduced to keep the system balanced.
Why Investors Watch Hash Rate 👀
Hash rate is a key indicator of:
Network health
Security level
Miner confidence in Bitcoin’s future
Bottom Line 💡
A rising hash rate usually signals a healthy, secure, and trusted Bitcoin network.
That’s why it’s one of the most important on-chain metrics to watch.
