⚡ Heatwaves, Hashrate & the Hidden Superpower of Bitcoin Mining

Summer’s here — grids are melting under record heat, but look who’s stepping up: Bitcoin miners.

When energy demand spikes, miners across the U.S. throttle their rigs or shut down entirely. It’s called demand response. The grid pays them to pause so people’s AC stays on. The result? Production drops — the network’s hashrate fell nearly 15% in June.

Critics love to say Bitcoin “wastes” energy. But this flips the script: mining acts like a giant flexible battery. It soaks up excess power when supply is high — and gives it back when demand peaks. It’s grid insurance, paid in both credits and community goodwill.

Fewer bitcoins minted, more power for everyone.

Proof-of-work just proved it can work for everyone.
