TeraWulf posted $31.9 million in HPC leasing revenue, accounting for 71% of total revenue and exceeding its $12.8 million in bitcoin mining revenue. Bitdeer moved in the opposite direction on hashrate, with realized hashrate up 44% from the fourth quarter of 2025 to 63.0 EH/s. In June, its self-mining and joint-mining hashrate stood at 73 EH/s and 15.9 EH/s, and it produced 990 BTC that month, up 388% year over year. Cango, by contrast, fell from 44.8 EH/s to an estimated 16.5 EH/s over the same six-month period.
