Hashprice steadies near $46 as miners lean on curtailment deals

Hashprice, the daily revenue per petahash of mining capacity, has stabilised around $46 after four weeks of decline, giving listed operators room to breathe.

The stabilisation owes less to price and more to demand response contracts: several Texas operators earned more from curtailment credits than from block rewards during the July heat window.

Analysts caution the model is regionally specific and unlikely to translate to hosts without direct grid relationships.
