Jan. 26 (The Block) — A winter storm battering the U.S. has sharply cut Bitcoin mining activity, knocking a large chunk of the network’s hash rate offline. Mining operators proactively reduced electricity use to ease strain on the power grid.
Dubbed Fernan, the storm has dumped extreme cold, snow and freezing conditions across most of the U.S., leaving over 1 million residents without power. Grid operators issued energy-saving alerts in response.
Foundry USA — the network’s largest mining pool — has seen its connected hash rate drop ~60% since Friday. Data from miningpoolstats.stream shows its hash rate fell from a recent peak of ~328 EH/s to ~139 EH/s. Foundry holds roughly 23% of the global mining pool hash rate market share.
Roughly 200 EH/s of network hash rate is offline, pushing average Bitcoin block time above the protocol’s 10-minute target. Mempool data puts average block time at ~12.4 minutes. The next mining difficulty adjustment is expected to drop 15% — a built-in

Yi Lihua: Multiple Factors Cause Market Volatility, Institutions Employ Long-term Strategies with Large Funds
January 26th, Liquid Capital (formerly LD Capital) founder Yi Lihua posted on social media:
“The community is pretty confused. Trend Research is buying up large amounts, BMNR and MicroStrategy are accumulating, CZ is touting a super bullish cycle—but prices have stayed weak and volatile.
