Bitcoin Miners in the U.S. Contributed to 29% of Global Hashrate This February, Says JPMorgan

A report from JPMorgan reveals that U.S.-listed bitcoin miners have nearly doubled their contribution to the global hashrate over the past year.

Overview

A recent report from JPMorgan reveals that the contribution of U.S.-listed bitcoin miners to the global hashrate has surged to 29%, nearly double the level from a year ago. The total hashrate is estimated to have risen by 6% this month, along with a significant year-over-year increase of approximately 95%.


Key Findings

  • The bitcoin mining companies tracked by the bank showed a 9% increase in daily mining profitability from the previous month.
  • The authors of the report, Reginald Smith and Charles Pearce, pointed out that while this is a positive shift, average bitcoin prices have seen a modest decline from January, complicating mining economics.

Impact of Market Trends

  • The hashprice metric that indicates profitability for miners has decreased by 13% since January’s end due to rising hashrate and falling bitcoin prices.
  • Total daily earnings from block rewards are similar to the prior month, although down by 6%. The market cap for the stocks covered by JPMorgan is approximately 1% lower than the last report.

Summary

The U.S. bitcoin miners have significantly increased their presence in the global market, according to JPMorgan’s insights on mining statistics, market dynamics, and price influences.
