#2026年比特币价格展望 Will Iran's Power Crisis Shake Up the Bitcoin Mining Landscape?
Recently, Iran's electricity supply pressures have been escalating continuously. As one of the key locations for global Bitcoin hash rate, this wave of power outages has directly impacted local mining operations.
In the short term, the sudden loss of hash rate may trigger several chain reactions: a temporary drop in total network hash rate, longer transaction confirmation times, fluctuations in on-chain fees... These are tangible effects. But the issue is far from that simple.
Interestingly, the "pushed out" hash rate won't disappear into thin air; it will seek new footholds—North America, Kazakhstan, Iceland, and even some more stable mining pools domestically. Hash rate is being reallocated globally, which is akin to a micro-geopolitical game. In the long run, this reconfiguration might actually strengthen Bitcoin network resilience and decentralization features.
The key still depends on the duration of this crisis—short-term shocks will eventually dissipate.

Iran's offline hash power just shifts to North America anyway, Bitcoin just goes along with this reallocation.

In this wave of hashrate migration, North American mining farms are laughing to death—cheap and stable electricity costs for free.

Iran power outage? Haha, isn't this just an opportunity for a reshuffle? Hashpower is moving to North America, and decentralization has become even stronger.

There are indeed short-term fluctuations in costs, but to be honest, this wave of squeezing is actually an optimization of decentralization — just like the previous issue of mining pool power concentration, which ultimately was self-regulated by the market. The migration of hash power is essentially a "reconfiguration of permissions," which is healthier for the network in the long run.

The issue of hash power migration is actually a process of Bitcoin self-healing. Iran going offline actually accelerates decentralization, which is quite interesting.
