Bitcoin's top four mining pools control over 70% of hashrate

Odaily Odaily星球日报讯 As of June 23, 2026, Foundry Digital, AntPool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool collectively control over 70% of the Bitcoin network's hashrate, accounting for approximately 31%, 18%, 13%, and 10% respectively. Foundry Digital, a US-based mining pool backed by Digital Currency Group, primarily serves large institutions and publicly traded mining companies.

The Nakamoto coefficient calculated by D-Central in the first half of 2026 was 3, meaning that only 3 mining pools would be needed to exceed half of the block production. ViaBTC faced stricter regulatory scrutiny in 2026, prompting some miners to shift to alternative pools such as EMCD.
