Network hashrate is ~898.6 EH/s, +8.0% over 30 days. Rising hashrate reflects growing miner commitment and network security; sustained trends can precede price (not yet backtested).
- Corporate treasuries56/100tailwind
179 public companies hold ~1,284,191 BTC (top: Strategy, 842,137 BTC). Corporate treasury accumulation is structural institutional demand; the trend strengthens as history accrues. Strategy (MSTR) trades at an observable ~0.642x mNAV — its equity value vs the value of its 842,137 BTC (quote 2026-08-07); reported as a number only, not a valuation judgement.
- Hiring velocity54/100neutral
Tracked Bitcoin/crypto-infra firms have 345 open roles, +9 vs 30 days ago (+2.7%). Teams staff up before they ship and grow; rising hiring may be an early demand tell (predictive value not yet backtested).
