Bitdeer hits 70 EH/s in self-mining bitcoin operations, claims top spot by compute
QUICK TAKE: Bitdeer’s total hashrate under management grew to 78.1 EH/s, including its massive self-mining fleet. CleanSpark, often ranked among the largest miners by compute, reported an operational hashrate of about 50 EH/s.
Bitdeer produced 661 self-mined bitcoins in March 2026, up 480% from the same month last year, according to its production and operations update. According to its filing on Wednesday, Bitdeer now commands about 225,000 self-owned rigs, out of the 262,000 it has under management. In total, Bitdeer said its self-mining bitcoin operations scaled to about 70 exahashes per second (EH/s). In February, the company reported a “total hash rate under management” of 71 EH/s, including, at the time, a self-mining hashrate of 55.2 EH/s.
MARA, the next-largest miner, reports a hashrate of 66.4 EH/s on its website. Cleanspark, another major player which also reported data on Wednesday, claims an average operational hashrate of about 50 EH/s. Bitdeer's total hashrate under management also grew to 78.1 EH/s, including its self-mined fleet and machines it manages for other companies.
The total global hashrate stands at about 855 EH/s, according to The Block’s data. This is down slightly from the start of the year, though it remains elevated compared to the historical average. The Bitcoin global hashrate in Q1 2026 saw the largest intra-quarter decline in about five years as miners continue to redirect resources toward the AI computing sector.
Bitdeer also noted its AI activity continues to scale. The firm said its AI Cloud utilization rose to 98% in March, following the introduction of its NVIDIA DGX H100 systems earlier this year. “This momentum underscores both the scale of the market opportunity and our ability to execute effectively,” Bitdeer said in its update. The firm also continues to roll out new mining machines, including its state-of-the-art SEALMINER A1, which it recently confirmed is capable of mining Litecoin and Dogecoin.
CleanSpark and Canaan growth Meanwhile, CleanSpark reported on Wednesday that it had mined 658 bitcoins in March, bumping its year-to-date figure to 1,799 BTC. Its operational hashrate at the end of March came in at about 50 EH/s, with its 224,473 mining machines operating at an average efficiency of 22.3 J/TH. The company also reported controlling a portfolio of more than 1.8 GW of power, land, and data centers. CleanSpark CEO Matt Schultz noted the firm is also working to expand beyond bitcoin mining, and is currently looking at opportunities in the data center and AI space.
Canaan, meanwhile, produced 89 BTC in March as its crypto holdings hit a record high of 1,808 BTC and 3,923 LTC. The firm posted a deployed hashrate of 10.97 EH/s, not including an additional 4.4 EH/s via a joint mining project. Canaan’s global installed power capacity hit 266.3 MW, plus an additional 120 MW from its West Texas site.
