In February 2025, Bitcoin's computational power reached a new record of 852 exahash per second (EH/s), marking the beginning of the zettahash epoch. This represents a 14.8% increase from the previous record just days earlier. The blockchain is nearing the threshold of one sextillion operations per second, but transactional activity has been slow. Only three blocks await validation, with 5,398 pending transactions. Foundry dominates mining contributions, accounting for 30.37% of total output. Despite some blocks occasionally stalling, Bitcoin's computational power continues to surpass other proof-of-work rivals. The next milestone is the yottahash epoch, with one septillion operations per second.
