Golden Finance reports that as publicly listed mining companies prepare to announce their third-quarter financial reports, the latest data from September shows a significant reshuffling in the Bitcoin mining rankings over the past year. The rankings, once dominated by a few clear leaders, now indicate that a new wave of medium-sized mining companies is quickly closing in on the top positions after a year of aggressive expansion.
Cipher Mining, Bitdeer, and HIVE Digital have climbed to the upstream ranking of realized hashrate, narrowing the gap with long-time leaders like MARA, CleanSpark, and Bitmain's proxy company Cango. Their rise highlights the trend of mid-sized public mining companies—once far behind—rapidly expanding capacity since the halving in 2024.
In September 2025, publicly listed mining companies achieved a total realized hash rate of 326 EH/s, up from 150 EH/s a year ago, accounting for approximately 31.6%, compared to 22% in September last year. This indicates that publicly listed mining companies not only grew rapidly before entering the financial reporting season but also exhibited a deeper trend of centralization.
MARA, CleanSpark (CLSK), and Cango (CANG) still hold the top three positions among publicly traded mining companies, with achieved hash rates of 53.3 EH/s, 45.6 EH/s, and 44.7 EH/s, respectively. However, several medium-sized mining companies rapidly closed the gap after 2024: IREN achieved a 167% growth, entering the top tier; Cipher Mining (CIFR) grew by 152%, reaching 18.2 EH/s; Bitdeer (BTDR) increased by 267% through the new SEALMINER deployment, reaching 32.7 EH/s; HIVE benefited from a new hydroelectric mining site in Paraguay, nearly raising its hash rate from 5.3 EH/s to 19.3 EH/s over the past year.

Bitcoin drops below $67,000 as hawkish Federal Reserve expectations pressure the crypto market
On February 11, news reports indicate that influenced by the shift towards a hawkish outlook in the US macroeconomic prospects, Bitcoin and mainstream cryptocurrencies collectively weakened in early Wednesday trading. Data shows that Bitcoin's price fell below $67,000, declining about 3% in the past 24 hours to around $66,800; Ethereum also retreated to approximately $1,960. Major coins like XRP and BNB each dropped more than 4%, with market risk appetite significantly cooling.
Analysts point out that the core driver of this correction is the re-pricing of expectations regarding US monetary policy. Andri Fauzan Adziima, Head of Research at Bitrue, stated that after Kevin Warsh was nominated as Federal Reserve Chair, the market generally believes that future policies will be more tightening, and the liquidity environment may continue to tighten, with less room for rate cuts. This expectation directly weakened the willingness to allocate assets to high-risk investments.
