A 11-year study on Bitcoin's (BTC) resilience to global internet infrastructure failures has found that the cryptocurrency network remains highly resistant to disruptions.

The research, conducted by Wenbin Wu and Alexander Neumueller of the Cambridge Centre for Alternative Finance, analyzed Bitcoin's peer-to-peer network between 2014 and 2025 alongside 68 verified submarine cable fault events.

The findings indicate that random failures affecting global internet cables would need to disrupt between 72% and 92% of inter-country network connections before causing significant disconnection across Bitcoin nodes.
