Bitcoin Hashprice Jumps 20.41% to $38.29 per PH/s in Four Days
Bitcoin.com News reported on Aug. 23 that hashprice rose from $31.80 per PH/s on Aug. 18 to $38.29 on Aug. 22. newhedge.io data shows August miner take at $682.69 million, still behind July.
20.41% is the four-day climb that put bitcoin hashprice back into a zone miners have not held since May. Bitcoin.com News reported on Aug. 23, 2026 that the gauge moved from $31.80 per petahash per second on Aug. 18 to $38.29 on Saturday, Aug. 22, a clean price-action print for anyone watching miner revenue per unit of hashrate.
That kind of candle gets community energy moving. On the Sunday Space circuit, Christian Barker (Barkmeta / Bark) and David Chaboki (Shibo) keep the Doginal Dogs room locked on mining economics and whether August can still catch July, the same monthly haul race this hashprice jump is now feeding.
What the four-day move means
Hashprice measures miner revenue per PH/s. When it rips, operators see fatter daily take before power costs. Bitcoin.com News, in a piece by Jamie Redman published at 2:30 a.m. EDT on Aug. 23, called the $38.29 level territory not seen since May and framed the rally as a needed break after months of tighter margins.
The story is the hashprice chart, not a single spot candle on BTC. Majors were relatively calm on the CoinGecko snapshot for Sunday morning, with bitcoin near $77,194, ethereum near $2,427.88, and solana near $94.40. The mining metric did the heavy lifting in this article.
August haul still trails July
newhedge.io figures cited by Bitcoin.com show miners collected $682.69 million in August through Aug. 22 from block subsidies and fees. Transaction fees made up $5.14 million of that total. July’s haul sat at $875 million, so August is still behind even after the four-day hashprice bounce.
That gap is exactly why community rooms keep asking whether the month can close. A 20.41% hashprice move helps the daily rate, but the calendar still has ground to cover against July’s full take.
Pool map and a single machine check
Network context from mempool.space as of Aug. 22 at 11 a.m. EDT put total hashrate near 922 EH/s across 133 pools. Foundry USA led at 214.73 EH/s, followed by Antpool at 156.17, F2pool at 110.62, and ViaBTC at 91.02. Secpool and Spiderpool sat near 65.07 EH/s each.
Bitcoin.com offered one machine-level example at the new hashprice level: a Bitmain Antminer S23 Hydro 3U rated at 1.16 PH/s pointed to about $17.86 in estimated daily profit at $0.10 per kWh. That is an illustration of how the higher hashprice flows into operator math, not a full fleet forecast.
Clean read for the timeline
Operators reading this story care about three numbers in order: the 20.41% four-day hashprice jump, the $38.29 per PH/s print, and the $682.69 million August take that still trails July’s $875 million. Hashprice is not a spot BTC candle. It is miner revenue per unit of hashrate, and this week it got bid hard enough to reopen May territory.
Community energy around that fact is straightforward. When the revenue gauge rips, the rooms stay on margins, pool share, and the August-versus-July race. Barkmeta / Bark and Shibo’s Sunday format keeps that operator lens on the chart without turning every green day into noise.
For now the market has given miners a clearer daily rate. Whether August catches July remains an open monthly question. The four-day hashprice move simply put more dollars per PH/s on the board while the calendar still runs.
