Hashrate Index Roundup (August 10, 2026)

Hello world, happy Monday!

TLDR

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

Over the past week, miners collected a total of ~3,158 BTC in block rewards, equivalent to ~$202 million. Transaction fees constituted 0.74% of block rewards totalling 23 BTC, equivalent to ~$1.49 million.

Bitcoin

Bitcoin moved by +2.0% from ~$62,775 to a current price of ~$64,033. Year-to-date (YTD) performance stands at -26.7%.

Hashprice

USD hashprice moved -1.1% from $32.07 per PH/s/Day to a current $31.73 per PH/s/Day.

BTC hashprice moved -1.2% from 0.00050227 BTC per PH/s/Day to 0.00049633 BTC per PH/s/Day.

Based on fleetwide efficiency, bitcoin mining operations are currently earning the following bitcoin mining (SHA-256) compute revenues per watt-hour:

• Under 14 J/TH fleets —  $112 per MWh
• 14-19 J/TH fleets —  $81 per MWh
• 19-25 J/TH —  $61 per MWh
• 25-38 J/TH —  $42 per MWh

Hashrate & Difficulty

Network hashrate changed by -2.3%, with the 7-day simple moving average (SMA) moving from 932 EH/s to 911 EH/s. The 30-day SMA currently stands at 914 EH/s.

The latest difficulty adjustment took place on August 8, 2026, changing network difficulty by +0.99% to 127.48T.

Block times have averaged around 10m 19s over the past 24 hours.

We currently estimate* -3.07% for the upcoming adjustment, expected to occur on August 23, 2026.

*This estimate will change given that we are so early into a difficulty epoch. Early on, difficulty predictions are shaky because of short-term variance. As time (or blocks) pass, the noise fades and the signal sharpens.

At $32 per PH/s/Day, hashprice is at or below 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 0.0226 BTC per block per day in transaction fees, -8% compared to the prior week's 0.0246 BTC.

Looking Forward

For this week's Hashrate Forward Market update, the forward market is pricing in an average hashprice of $30.86 or 0.00048 BTC over the next six months.
