As Q2 2025 drew to a close, the United States retained its lead in global Bitcoin hashrate dominance, even as its share dipped slightly, slipping 0.60% since May 27. Moving into Q3, Russia made an assertive leap, increasing its share by 6.12%, signaling intensified competition.
According to the updated bitcoin mining heat map from hashrateindex.com, the U.S. still commands the most mining power with a 35.81% global share, backed by 323.4 EH/s of computational strength. That’s down just a tick from 36.025%, observed in late May.
Russia’s rise from 15.652% to 16.61% marking a significant jump, now boasting 150 EH/s in total hashrate. China saw a modest gain as well, edging from 13.727% to 13.84%, with 125 EH/s of mining output.
Other notable players include:
- 🇵🇾 Paraguay: 3.87% share (35 EH/s)
- 🇦🇪 UAE: 3.54% (32 EH/s)
- 🇴🇲 Oman: 2.99%
- 🇨🇦 Canada: 2.935%
In contrast, large regions across Africa, Central Asia, and the Middle East remain gray zones, either inactive or unreported in the data. Countries like Greenland, North Korea, and portions of central Africa are absent, due to negligible activity or lack of transparency.
The map underscores a global imbalance, with North America, parts of Europe, and Asia carrying the bulk of mining muscle. While the U.S. maintains its dominance for now, Russia’s sharp momentum suggests a reshuffling may be on the horizon. The real race might not be in who’s leading now but who’s quietly building steam behind the scenes.
