CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Ki Young Ju, founder and CEO of CryptoQuant, there are currently about 4.43 million ASIC mining machines providing computational power support for the Bitcoin network, pushing the total network hash rate to a historic high.

This growth mainly comes from the increase in the number of mining machines, rather than improvements in chip performance. Since the beginning of this year, the number of mining machines has increased by 826,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 23%. [Original link]
