The computing power of the Bitcoin network has fully compensated for the decline in the first half of the year and returned to an uptrend. According to fresh CryptoQuant on-chain data as of October 22, 2026, the network's True Hashrate settled at 1,000 EH/s (1 ZH/s), approaching the historical highs of late 2025. "Bitcoin hashrate is back in an uptrend, with miners running at full capacity," notes CryptoQuant founder Ki Young Ju. The expert emphasizes that the current cycle marks the transition of mining from the venture sector to the status of a heavy industry controlled by large corporate capital. The growth in computing power has triggered a record increase in mining difficulty. Current mining difficulty has reached a historical high of 140.58 T.
