BTC Block Count: 143
How many blocks were added to the Bitcoin ledger each day. A block is one page of that shared ledger, and the network aims for about 144 pages a day.
The number of blocks added in one day. Bitcoin targets one block roughly every 10 minutes, which works out at about 144 blocks per day.
Around 144 is normal. Above it, blocks were found faster than the 10-minute target that day; **below** it, slower.
For example, 152 blocks in a day means the network ran about 6% quicker than target — that is luck, nothing is broken, and the next difficulty reset pulls it back. Big sustained drops happen when mining machines go offline.
The blocks recorded on the chain that calendar day, counted by the upstream chart feed and stored by us. Nothing is calculated on our side.
Finding blocks is random, so this bounces around 144 every single day without meaning anything on its own. One value per calendar day, so there is no hour-by-hour view.
