According to a report by Cointelegraph on January TechFlow, Foundry USA, the world's largest Bitcoin mining pool, has seen its hashrate drop by nearly 60% since last Friday, a decrease of approximately 200 EH/s, due to the impact of winter storm "Fern". Currently, the pool still controls approximately 198 EH/s of hashrate, accounting for 23% of the total hashrate of global mining pools. This large-scale halving has slowed the Bitcoin block production rate to one every 12 minutes. The storm has caused power outages for more than one million residents in the United States, and miners are adjusting their energy consumption to help balance the grid load, acting as a controllable load resource in emergencies.
