Cryptoquant Insights: Bitcoin Miners See Revenue Boost as Hashrate Soars

Bitcoin miners are witnessing a resurgence in activity as the network’s hashrate approaches all-time highs, according to the latest research from Cryptoquant. This recovery is attributed to improved revenues, which have led to a reduction in selling pressure from miners.

Miners Hold Steady: Bitcoin Hashrate Rises, Selling Pressure Decreases

The latest onchain market activities report from Cryptoquant highlights a notable recovery in Bitcoin’s mining hashrate, which has surpassed 600 exahash per second (EH/s). This represents a 6% increase since July 9, the date on which the hashrate hit its lowest point since late February.

The current hashrate is now just 3% below its all-time high, a significant improvement from the 8% drawdown observed earlier in July. Cryptoquant researchers suggest that this uptick in hashrate is closely linked to the recent recovery in bitcoin prices (BTC), which recently and quickly returned $70,000 before dipping below $67K.

As a result of these price gains, Cryptoquant details that daily miner revenues have surged by almost 50%, reaching approximately $32 million. This financial recovery has provided miners with fairer compensation compared to the period following the April Bitcoin halving, when many miners were operating under unprofitable conditions.

The improved financial environment has also led to a decrease in bitcoin outflows from miner wallets, with daily outflows stabilizing between 5,000 and 10,000 BTC in July, a significant reduction from the 10,000 to 20,000 BTC outflows seen earlier in the year. Large mining operations have increased their BTC holdings, now totaling 65,000 BTC, up from 61,000 BTC at the start of the year.

However, the Cryptoquant report also notes potential risks ahead for miners. Despite the positive trends in hashrate and revenues, transaction fees have fallen sharply, now representing just 1.72% of total mining revenues—the lowest level since October 2023.

This decline in fees, combined with miners’ heavy reliance on bitcoin prices for profitability, poses a risk to their long-term financial stability. The report underscores that while the current situation is favorable, the dependence on bitcoin’s price could create challenges if market conditions shift.
