The Bitcoin hashrate record continues to climb. On May 31, 2025, the global computational power of the Bitcoin network reached a new all-time high of 943 exahashes per second (EH/s), according to the 7-day simple moving average (SMA). This marks a 14 EH/s increase from the previous peak of 929 EH/s just 22 days earlier.
With only 57 EH/s left before reaching the historic 1 zettahash per second (ZH/s) threshold, the network is now closer than ever to a milestone that once seemed impossible.
Why 943 EH/s Is More Than Just a Number
While comparisons to traditional supercomputers are often made, it’s important to note that Bitcoin’s hashing operations rely on integer calculations, not floating-point operations (FLOPS) like high-performance machines such as El Capitan, which runs at 1.742 exaflops.
Even so, the scale of operations on the Bitcoin network now exceeds the capacity of any centralized computing system on Earth — not just in raw power, but in decentralized redundancy and 24/7 uptime.
“This level of performance is a sign of miner confidence and ongoing capital investment,” said one blockchain analyst. “It’s also a technological marvel.”
Mining Resilience and Network Strength
Despite hardware failures, maintenance cycles, or electricity fluctuations, Bitcoin’s mining power has shown consistent growth in 2025. This resilience underlines two things:
-
Strong belief in Bitcoin’s future profitability
-
Massive infrastructure growth across global mining hubs
Miners continue to upgrade and optimize operations — even with recent profitability pressures due to lower per-hash rewards after the 2024 halving.
