Bitcoinās mining hashrate dipped as an Arctic blast strained parts of the U.S. power grid. The update framed the move as a weather-driven operational constraint for miners.
UPDATE: #Bitcoin hashrate on FoundryUSA is down by nearly 200 EH/s, or 60%, since Friday amid continued curtailment. Temporary block production slows down to 12 minutes š«„š«„ https://t.co/e51LyWoxjs pic.twitter.com/uIrCD5JudD

The squeeze is most acute for facilities facing higher load, tighter curtailment rules, or volatile power pricing, which can force temporary drawdowns in compute. For network observers, the read-through is straightforward: extreme weather can quickly translate into less mining capacity online, even when underlying demand for block space is unchanged.
Market participants will be watching for the next data prints and any follow-on commentary from miners as temperatures normalize and grid conditions ease. A sustained rebound in hashrate would signal operations are back to baseline, while continued softness would suggest ongoing constraints.
