Written on .

In mid-August 2026, Bitcoin’s network hashrate sits roughly 17% below its all-time high. Trackers show it retreating from a late-2025 peak above one zettahash per second into a range near 850–920 exahashes per second.

A five-year-old firmware build error in Coldcard hardware wallets turned one of Bitcoin’s most trusted self-custody tools into the largest hardware wallet exploit on record.
