Bitcoin is almost at 60,000,000 THz so 10% of that is?  6,000,000 THz  https://www.blockchain.com/en/charts/hash-rate

Bitcoin network might have 60 Eh/s (currently it's 54.58 Eh/s according to another explorer), but don't forget it's generated from SHA-256 ASIC.
That means you can't use it to brute-force all private keys to get public key/address which contain Bitcoin because address generation (from private key) involve at least 3 steps which are SHA-256, RIPEMD-160 & ECDSA (secp256k1)
