Bitcoin on Chain Bitcoin Annualized Electricity Consumption 7dma
Bitcoin
This estimates Bitcoin's annualized electricity consumption (7-day average, lower-bound estimate).
Why it matters
It quantifies the network's energy footprint and, by proxy, its physical security cost.
How it is built
Hash rate and hardware-efficiency assumptions are used to model energy use over the 7-day average, lower-bound estimate.
What to watch
Energy use scales with mining competition and security; it is central to sustainability debates.
