Bitcoin mining difficulty jumped 4.16% on September 19 to 132.76 trillion, tightening machine-level economics just as operators continue deploying more efficient ASIC fleets. According to Hashrate Index, the adjustment lifted difficulty from roughly 127.45T to 132.76T. Its September 21 snapshot put the seven-day network hashrate average near 946 EH/s and the 30-day average near 934…

Texas has paused new state permits for data centers while regulators audit the industry’s impact on electricity and water, putting a new constraint around one of the most important power markets for Bitcoin mining and AI infrastructure. On September 21, Governor Greg Abbott directed the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to halt permits sought by…

Some of the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miners are no longer treating artificial intelligence as a side business. They are physically reallocating energized megawatts, retiring ASIC hardware and converting mining campuses into high-density AI and HPC data centers. A new CoinShares Q2 2026 Bitcoin mining report puts numbers behind that transition. The report estimates the…

Bitdeer is bringing a major piece of Bitcoin mining hardware manufacturing to the United States with a new $36 million SEALMINER production facility in Sparks, Nevada. The 187,000-square-foot electronics plant is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026 and is designed to produce as many as 10,000 SEALMINER machines per month. At that stated…

PowerCompute is demonstrating one of the simplest ways a Bitcoin miner can expand without first securing a much larger electrical footprint: replace older ASICs with machines that produce substantially more hashrate at comparable machine-level power. The company said September 23 that its current miner-refresh program is expected to deliver nearly 39% more hashrate per machine…

The Antminer S19 became the defining Bitcoin mining machine of the post-2020 cycle because it was more than a specification sheet. It became a fleet standard. Operators bought it by the thousands, hosting sites learned its electrical and thermal profile, repair shops learned its boards and power supplies, firmware matured, and used units circulated across…

For most of the post-2020 Bitcoin mining era, Bitmain’s Antminer S19 family was the machine operators expected to see by the rack, container and megawatt. By 2026, a combination of customer demand, fleet purchases, secondary-market activity and efficiency data increasingly supports a new thesis: the S21 family is becoming the new S19. That does not…

Kazakhstan is moving to connect two industrial systems that normally sit far apart: oil-field associated gas and high-density cryptocurrency mining. The government is developing a framework that would let miners install autonomous power plants at oil and gas fields, converting gas that can otherwise be flared into electricity for mining centers. The proposal is especially…

SOS Limited is reporting higher hosting revenue while outlining a much larger data-center ambition, connecting its existing cryptocurrency infrastructure business with a proposed expansion into AI and cloud computing. The company reported hosting revenue of $7.501 million, up 15.3%, while it evaluates a proposed data-center campus on Indonesia’s Bintan Island. The project has been described…
