Foundry USA and MARA Pool, two leading U.S.-based mining pools, collectively mined<\/a> <\/strong>nearly 38.5% of Bitcoin<\/a> <\/strong>blocks during this period.<\/p>\n Foundry USA experienced significant growth in its mining capacity, increasing its hashrate from 157 exahashes per second (EH\/s) in early 2024 to around 280 EH\/s by December, making it the largest mining pool on the network with a commanding 36.5% share. MARA Pool, while smaller, maintained a steady presence with 32 EH\/s, representing 4.35% of the total hash power.<\/p>\n Despite these achievements, China remains a dominant force in Bitcoin mining. Reports from September 2024 indicated that Chinese mining pools still controlled 55% of the global hashrate, even in the face of a 2021 cryptocurrency ban. Chinese miners have been able to bypass restrictions using VPNs to obscure their locations and connect to international mining pools. Peer-to-peer apps further enable them to trade cryptocurrencies despite governmental barriers.<\/p>\n
