Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Drops 10.09%, Second-Largest Decline of 2026
- Difficulty Adjustment: Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped by 10.09% at block 953,568, decreasing from 138.9 trillion to 124.9 trillion, marking the second-largest decline of 2026 and the 11th largest in network history, indicating significant pressure on miner profitability.
- Price Pressure Impact: A 15% price drop in June pushed hashprice below $30 per petahash, forcing older mining rigs offline and contributing to a decline in network hashrate, severely impacting miners' economic viability during this period.
- AI Redeployment and Seasonal Effects: Public mining companies are redirecting power capacity towards AI and high-performance computing, further exacerbating the decline in Bitcoin hashrate, while Texas miners curtailed operations due to the 4CP season, adding uncertainty to the market.
- Operational Efficiency Gains: The current lower mining difficulty allows active miners to earn more Bitcoin per unit of hashrate deployed, providing an opportunity to enhance profitability despite the ongoing challenges faced in the mining landscape.
