Bitcoin Miners Achieve Stellar Growth in Realized Hashrate During Q3, Bitdeer Leads the Pack

The third quarter of 2023 marked a significant surge in realized hashrates among Bitcoin miners, with numerous companies surpassing the network’s average growth rate over the summer months. Bitdeer (BTDR) emerged as the frontrunner, showcasing a stellar realized hashrate growth of 120.14%. Trailing closely were CleanSpark (CLSK) and Marathon Digital (MARA), which reported increases of 42.95% and 38.48%, respectively, according to BlocksBridge.

Cipher Mining (CIIFR) and Bit Digital (BTBT) also stood out with hashrate upticks of 26.14% and 18.93%. Meanwhile, Bitfarms (BITF) and Hive Blockchain (HIVE) displayed modest augmentations, charting 16.53% and 13.58%, respectively. DMG Blockchain (DMG), and Argo Blockchain (ARBK) marked growth percentages between 10% to 7.5%.

On the flip side, not every company celebrated growth. Riot Blockchain (RIOT) saw its realized hashrate diminish by 14.10%. Iris Energy (IREN) also experienced a minor setback, with a decline of 0.53%. These variations underline the industry’s unpredictable dynamics.

It’s crucial to emphasize that the reported growth pertains exclusively to realized hashrates, sidelining other proprietary hashrate activities like power sales and cloud mining. This distinction underscores the substantial advancements solely within primary mining operations.
