On-chain data indicates that Bitcoin’s mining hashrate has rebounded since mid-March lows, suggesting miners are returning to the network after a period of contraction.
“Hashrate” measures the total computing power miners contribute to the Bitcoin network, typically expressed in exahashes per second (EH/s). Because it reflects miners’ participation, rising hashrate can indicate that mining remains profitable, while falling hashrate can suggest miners are leaving or reducing activity.
Blockchain.com data shows that the 7-day average Bitcoin hashrate declined during the first half of March. The drop coincided with a recovery in BTC’s spot price, creating a divergence between miner activity and market price.
Some observers attributed the early-March hashrate weakness to a shift in mining priorities, with major public mining companies reportedly focusing more on AI/datacenter opportunities. However, after bottoming at 920.8 EH/s on March 19, the hashrate has recovered sharply.
As of the latest reading, the 7-day average hashrate stands at 1,036.6 EH/s—about 12.5% higher than the earlier monthly low. While it remains below the 1,083.9 EH/s peak recorded on March 1, the article notes that continued momentum could allow a full recovery if the current trajectory persists.
Separately, SoSoValue data cited in the article shows that US Bitcoin spot exchange-traded funds (ETFs) saw positive netflows for four consecutive weeks before the most recent week reversed the trend. The latest week recorded outflows of more than $296 million.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading around $67,600, down nearly 5% over the past week.
