Decentralized mining pool OCEAN by Jack Dorsey joins Bitcoin hash rate surge

Public miners stable at 25% despite Bitcoin hash rate reaching new heights.

Quick Take

The Bitcoin mining hash rate continues to experience a significant upturn. The decentralized Bitcoin mining pool, OCEAN, spearheaded by Jack Dorsey, is noteworthy. It has recently commenced operations, reaching an impressive 126 ph/s, or approximately 0.024% of the total hash rate network, estimated at 550 eh/s. Given its decentralized nature, projections indicate a potential increase in OCEAN’s hash rate contribution over time.
