Data from hashrateindex.com reveals bitcoin’s hashrate soared to a historic zenith of 840 exahash per second (EH/s), maintaining a formidable 837.25 EH/s as of noon ET on Feb. 3, 2025. This computational crescendo followed a stark BTC price drop on Sunday, fueled by debates over the Trump administration’s tariff strategy.

The downturn nudged hashprice—a measure of mining revenue—from $59-$60 to $58.19 per daily petahash per second (PH/s). Since stabilizing after a prior tumble from $68 per PH/s, miners savored a 2.12% dip in mining difficulty, propelling the hashrate upward.

The seven-day simple moving average (SMA) now glimmers at 840 EH/s. This fusion of heightened computational output and eased difficulty has trimmed average block intervals to a brisk 9 minutes, 17 seconds.

Yet this efficiency harbors a twist: The next difficulty retarget on Feb. 8, 2025, could trigger a sharp climb. Mining analytics platforms, including hashrateindex.com, signal a looming spike.

Projections hint at a 7.59% jump if current patterns persist. To grasp 840 EH/s, imagine 8.4 sextillion hash functions produced each second—a staggering feat as the network edges toward the zettahash threshold (1,000 EH/s).

At press time, the hashrate hums at 0.84 zettahash per second (ZH/s), inching closer to this next computational frontier of 1 ZH/s.
