Quick Take
- A lot of noise has surrounded Bitcoin's vast hash rate growth this year.
- Identifying the hash rate growth over a three-month moving average to cancel out daily incremental moves would put current hash rate adjustment at 52%.
- Only on two other occasions had more substantial growth for Bitcoin hash rate.
- In May 2021 — a 70% adjustment coming off the China mining ban
- After the 2019 bear market — a 65% adjustment.
- The most likely explanation is that many mining companies went public and financed a lot of mining equipment; as it is now profitable to mine Bitcoin, we are seeing a lot of ASICS plug back into the network.
