The number of Bitcoin nodes has exceeded 11,500, a record high

On January 20, data from Bitnodes.io showed that the number of Bitcoin nodes has reached an all-time high, with 11,558 "reachable nodes" currently active.

At the same time, coin.dance data also shows that the current total number of Bitcoin nodes is 11,613, which is higher than the high record of 11,250 set in January 2020. It is reported that the increase in Bitcoin node data is due to people's growing distrust of hosting solutions and the recent upgrade of Bitcoin Core, so more and more Bitcoin users are starting to run their own nodes.
