Summary

In September 2025, the market capitalization of 14 U.S.-listed Bitcoin miners surpassed $50 billion, with a 43% month-on-month increase. The Bitcoin network’s average hashrate grew by 9%, reaching 1,031 EH/s. Despite a 10% drop in miner revenue from August, sector growth is driven by corporate moves such as Cipher Mining’s new deals. Mining profitability remains under pressure as hashrate exceeds 1,000 EH/s, with miners earning an average of $49,700 per EH/s in daily block reward revenue.

Terms & Concepts
  • Hashrate: A measure of the computing power used to mine and process transactions on a blockchain network, expressed in hashes per second.
  • EH/s (Exahashes per second): A unit of hashrate measurement representing one quintillion hashes per second, used to quantify Bitcoin mining power.
  • Block Reward: The incentive given to Bitcoin miners for successfully adding a block to the blockchain, typically paid in Bitcoin.
