NEW: The biggest public #Bitcoin miner unplug was hiding in incomplete Q2 data. Now the final numbers are in. → CANG: 44.8 → 15.4 EH/s → IREN: 43.4 → 21.6 EH/s Together, they shed 51.4 EH/s of realized hashrate in the first half of 2026. The completed data also makes the industrywide retreat steeper than we initially estimated. Excluding BTDR, the cohort’s realized hashrate fell 23.3% from Q4'25 to Q2'26, compared with a 10.6% decline for the Bitcoin network. These public miners contracted more than twice as fast as the network.(TheEnergyMag)
