According to data from the hash rate mining calculator CoinWarz, as of December 26, the hash rate has returned to 241.29 EH/s. The amount of hashes produced by Bitcoin miners as they try to crack the next block is what determines the currency’s hash rate, according to Cointelegraph.
Recent research indicates that the bear market has led the debt of Bitcoin mining businesses to increase by $4 billion.
