According to Hashrate Indexsince March 11, the indicator has grown from $0.061 per 1 TH/s per day to $0.083.

“For us, it’s just pure fat. When you look at the increase in the price of bitcoin, it is, in fact, about $ 200,000 additional cash flow per day, assuming that mining is about 20 BTC over this period, like we have,” Matthew, CleanSpark Executive Chairman, commented to The Block. Schultz.

Another factor that positively influenced the growth of hashprice was the decrease in electricity tariffs this year.

“The market has helped us a lot. Electricity prices have plummeted. And when you are mining bitcoin, this is the main cost item, ”said a representative of Core Scientific.

According to Glassnodesince the beginning of the year, the hashrate of the first cryptocurrency (smoothed by a seven-day moving average) has increased from 254 EH / s to 321 EH / s – by about 26%.

According to various estimates, the mining difficulty correlated with the hashrate will increase by 2-4% at the next recalculation around March 23. This will be the third consecutive increase that negatively affects the profitability of bitcoin mining.
