**China Is Quietly Re-Entering the Bitcoin Mining Game** ![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/1f1e8-1f1f3.png)![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/26a1.png)️

Despite its 2021 crackdown, **Bitcoin mining is resurging in China**, according to new Reuters reporting and it’s happening under the radar.

![](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/emoji-datasource-apple/img/apple/64/1f1e8-1f1f3.png) **China now accounts for roughly 14% of global hashrate**, making it one of the largest players once again.

Why it matters:

*   **Hashrate = network security**, and China’s re-entry reshapes the global mining map.
    
*   A shift this large hints at **massive capital quietly flowing back into the sector**.
    
*   It also raises questions about how governments handle decentralized infrastructure they can’t fully control.
    

The comeback nobody expected…but everyone should pay attention to.
