With block rewards now cut to 3.125 BTC, smaller mining operations are being forced to either upgrade their equipment or exit the market entirely.<\/p>\n<p>Publicly traded mining companies have responded by aggressively expanding their hash rate capacity. Marathon Digital, Riot Platforms, and CleanSpark have collectively added over 50 EH\/s of computing power since the halving, investing billions in next-generation ASIC miners from Bitmain and MicroBT.<\/p>\n<p>The hashrate has remained surprisingly resilient, currently hovering around 650 EH\/s. This suggests that the most efficient miners are not only surviving but thriving in the post-halving environment. Transaction fees have also provided a cushion, occasionally spiking above 20% of total miner revenue during periods of high network congestion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miners are adapting to the reduced block rewards after the fourth halving, with major players expanding capacity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bitcoin"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=5"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=5"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=5"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cryptorublecoins.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=5"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
