Bitcoin on Chain Monthly Bitcoin Electricity Consumption

Bitcoin

This estimates Bitcoin's annualized electricity consumption (monthly, in TW/h).

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 monthly, in TW/h.

What to watch

Energy use scales with mining competition and security; it is central to sustainability debates.
