Bitcoin Price

Bitcoin has continued to trade sideways, or "crab," following November's record high of nearly $69,000. Investors are searching for fresh narratives after corporate treasury additions and nation-state adoption propelled Bitcoin upwards in 2020-21.

Hashprice (USD & Sats)

Hashprice is a measurement of mining output across different machine efficiencies. Here, we group all units together for one generalized price. Profitability in both Satoshis and USD remains flat at around $0.20 per terrahash (TH) as network difficulty and Bitcoin price keep pace with each other.

Average $/TH

Dollar per TH is a common metric used to price ASIC rigs over time. The $/TH generally trails Bitcoin's price by a few weeks. Here, we see ASIC prices correcting from December 2021 highs, one month after Bitcoin hit a new all time high in November.

Machine ROI (Days)

Machine Return on investment (ROI) is a historically-derived measurement of how long it takes to pay off the upfront capital cost of a machine. A lagging indicator, Machine ROI has risen over the last few weeks as network difficulty has increased.
