Texas Leads U.S. in Bitcoin Mining, Accounting for Over 28% of National Hashrate
-
Texas accounts for over 28% of all Bitcoin mining in the U.S., according to Foundry's Hashrate Map.
-
In July 2022, Texas had 28.5% of U.S. Bitcoin hash rate, followed by Georgia (9.64%), New York (8.75%), and New Hampshire (5.33%).
-
More U.S. states are mining Bitcoin in 2022 compared to 2021. The global Bitcoin hash rate nearly doubled from the end of 2021 to July 2022.
-
Texas faced power curtailments in July 2022 but may have higher actual hash rate since miners lower production during curtailments.
-
Texas has cheaper electricity prices than the U.S. average, attracting more crypto miners, especially after China's mining crackdown in 2021.
