Recently a report revealed that the Antminer S9s contribute roughly 23% of Bitcoin’s total network hash rate. However, it is just less than half to the contribution in 2018 that was 78% of the total network hash power.
The Antminer is noted as the most powerful miner in the market with a hash rate of 12.93TH/s. This means that around 0.5 Bitcoins can be generated every month.
