Bitcoin's (BTC) network hashrate appears to be stabilizing after a sharp decline that forced miners to scale back operations amid falling profitability, soaring electricity costs, and growing competition from artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure. Zach Pandl, a prominent crypto market researcher, has highlighted the stabilization of Bitcoin's hashrate, suggesting that the network is recovering from one of its most challenging periods in recent years. According to the four-year Bitcoin hashrate chart shared by Pandl, the network's computing power climbed above 1.1 zettahashes per second (ZH/s) in late 2025 before experiencing a substantial correction throughout 2026.
