Bitcoin Hashrate Plummets in June 2025: Experts Weigh In on the Shocking Drop
In June 2025, Bitcoin's hashrate—a critical metric for network security—suddenly dropped to its lowest level in over a year. Was it due to geopolitical tensions involving Iran and the US, or extreme heat in Texas disrupting mining operations? Experts are divided. This DEEP dive explores both theories, backed by data and insider perspectives. Buckle up for a wild ride through crypto’s latest drama!
What Exactly Happened to Bitcoin’s Hashrate in June 2025?
Between June 14 and 24, 2025, Bitcoin’s 7-day average hashrate nosedived to 800 EH/s—the lowest since March 2025, per CryptoQuant. This metric reflects the total computational power securing the network. Fewer miners active? That’s a red flag for decentralization. The timing raised eyebrows: it coincided with both US-Iran military tensions and a record heatwave in Texas. Was this a crypto “black swan” event? Let’s dissect the evidence.
