Miner centralization risks for bitcoin in 2026

Joe Nakamoto, bitcoin journalist at Self-employed, raises concerns about miner centralization in 2026. While noting that spam remains an issue, Nakamoto stresses that the concentration of bitcoin mining power poses a greater risk to the network's health, and encourages solo mining as a potential solution.

The comments highlight ongoing debates over the future of bitcoin decentralization and network integrity.

Nakamoto has previously addressed persistent cost barriers for BTC investors, citing the high prices of hardware wallets and mentioning Blockstream Jade Core as a lower-cost alternative. He has also highlighted challenges and growing interest in the sector through coverage of Italy's largest Bitcoin-only event. These reports reflect continued focus on access and engagement within the Bitcoin community.
