Bitcoin (BTC) recorded a seven-day average hashrate of 1,031.61 exahashes per second (EH/s) on October 17, 2026, the highest level since March 3, according to TokenPost. The Bitcoin price stands at 80,900.80 USD as of October 28, 2026, up 1.17 percent compared with the UTC daily close of October 27, 2026.

Network computing power reaches 1,031.61 EH/s

Hashrate measures the computing power used to process and secure transactions. TokenPost reported that the weekly average reached 1,031.61 EH/s on October 17, 2026, while the current network reading in its report was 1,031.00 EH/s. The same report said the weekly average was the highest since March 3, 2026, and explained that the metric indicates the level of mining participation.

A higher hashrate reflects more computing power being directed toward the network, but it does not identify which operators supplied that power. TokenPost also reported that the realized hashrate of publicly traded miners fell by 15 percent in the first half of 2026, showing that network-wide strength and individual mining-company activity can move differently.

Spot funds record 526.7 million USD of inflows

The report said the funds had recorded 228.4 million USD of net withdrawals from October 12, 2026, through October 16, 2026. Those figures describe fund flows rather than direct activity on the Bitcoin network.
