Bitcoin Network Hashrate 42.5% Concentrated in U.S., Raising Censorship Concerns on June 14

According to BlockBeats, on June 14, approximately 42.5% of global Bitcoin network hashrate is concentrated in the United States, reigniting market concerns about the network's censorship resistance. U.S.-listed mining companies account for about 31.5% of global hashrate, while mining pools like Foundry USA control up to one-third of total network power.

Analysts note that the real risk lies not in geographic centralization but in mining pool concentration, as pools control transaction selection and block template generation. The top mining pools collectively command over two-thirds of total hashrate, creating significant transaction filtering power.
