Abstract generation in progress

Odaily Planet Daily reported that as of June 23, 2026, Foundry Digital, AntPool, ViaBTC, and F2Pool collectively control more than 70% of Bitcoin network hash rate, at approximately 31%, 18%, 13%, and 10% respectively. Foundry Digital is a US mining pool backed by Digital Currency Group, mainly targeting large institutions and listed mining companies.

In the first half of 2026, D-Central gave Nakamoto coefficient of 3, meaning that with just 3 mining pools it is possible to surpass half of block production. ViaBTC faces stricter regulatory scrutiny in 2026, and some miners have shifted to alternative pools such as EMCD.
