What’s the source of that - that the majority of Bitcoin miners are using ASICs? From everything I’ve read they’re new, in scarce supply with lead times of up to a year, and expensive.

"The majority of Bitcoin miners are using ASICs" and "the majority of the mining is being done by ASIC miners" are two distinct claims.
