The Bitcoin hashrate figures have surged to a new all-time high after a recent decline.

Prior to the Bitcoin miner reward cut that took place on May 11, many in the community feared that miners would start switching off their rigs (and Bitcoin critics were looking forward to it).

However, now the daily production of Bitcoin has dropped, now constituting 6.25 BTC per new block instead of 12.5, nothing of the kind has happened.

Bitcoin hashrate hits new major high

Instead, the Bitcoin hashrate has surged to a high close to the one which was spotted right before Black Thursday – March 12, when Bitcoin suffered a major collapse and took a month to make a full recovery.

The BTC hashrate now totals 121.087 TH/s.
