Bitcoin hashrate down 15%, 26 firms add BTC to balance sheets
In June 2025, Bitcoin’s hashrate decreased by 15%, falling from approximately 942.6 million terahashes/second (TH/s) to 799 million TH/s, attributed mainly to heightened electricity prices spurred by a summer heat wave in the US. During the same month, crypto hacks and exploits resulted in losses exceeding $150 million, pushing total losses for the year to $2.15 billion. Meanwhile, 26 companies added Bitcoin to their balance sheets, bringing the total to 250, with notable influence from Michael Saylor of Strategy. Regulatory movements in Asia saw four countries introducing crypto-friendly policies, including tax exemptions and stablecoin issuance permissions. In the US, seven states advanced crypto-related legislation, with particular focus on Bitcoin reserves and disclosure requirements for crypto ATMs. The growing regulatory landscape and corporate adoption reflect a significant evolution in the cryptocurrency space.
