It is measured in exahashes per second (EH\/s).<\/p>\n<p>The profitability boost came as extreme summer heat across the U.S. drove up energy prices, prompting less efficient miners to throttle operations.<\/p>\n<p>So far in July, bitcoin has surged past $123,000, to set a new all-time high driven by increasingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.coindesk.com\/policy\/2025\/07\/18\/trump-is-to-sign-the-historic-genius-act-into-law-what-does-it-mean-for-crypto\">favorable crypto regulation<\/a> and a weakening U.S. dollar following tariff-related comments from President Donald Trump. The macro and regulatory backdrop has intensified investor interest and provided a fresh tailwind for mining firms, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the improved profitability, North American public miners saw a month-over-month decline in bitcoin production, analysts Jonathan Petersen and Jan Aygul wrote.<\/p>\n<p>In June, they mined a total of 3,382 BTC, down from 3,754 in May. They accounted for 25.1% of the global network, versus 26.3% the prior month, the report noted.<\/p>\n<p>MARA (MARA) led in output with 713 BTC mined, followed by CleanSpark with 685 tokens.<\/p>\n<p>MARA also maintained its lead in energized hashrate, posting 57.4 EH\/s at the end of June, down slightly from May\u2019s 58.3 EH\/s. CLSK held the second-highest hashrate at 45.3 EH\/s, the bank said.<\/p>\n<p>Bitcoin mining economics improved last month. A hypothetical 1 EH\/s mining fleet would have generated approximately $57,000 in daily revenue during June, up from $54,000 in May, the report added.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Read more: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20250728220301\/en\/Mill-City-Ventures-III-Ltd.-Announces-%24450000000-Private-Placement-to-Initiate-Sui-Treasury-Strategy\"><span style=\"text-decoration:underline\">Bitcoin Network Hashrate Declined in June as Miners Reacted to Recent Heatwave: JPMorgan<\/span><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bitcoin (BTC) mining profitability increased 5.3% in June, buoyed by a 1.2% increase in the cryptocurrency&#8217;s price and a 6.7% drop in the network hashrate, according to a report by investment bank Jefferies.
