Bitcoin News: Bitcoin Hashrate Drops to Mid-2025 Levels as US Winter Storm Forces Miner Shutdowns

Bitcoin’s network hashrate briefly fell to its lowest level in seven months over the weekend after a powerful winter storm swept across the United States, forcing large mining operations to curtail activity to stabilize regional power grids. According to data from CoinWarz, Bitcoin’s network hashrate began declining on Friday and fell to roughly 663 exahashes per second (EH/s) by Sunday — a drop of more than 40% in just two days, returning hashrate levels to those last seen in mid-2025. The hashrate has since partially recovered and was hovering near 854 EH/s by Monday.
