Bitcoin Network Hashrate Drops to Lowest Level Since September 2025

According to PANews, Bitcoin's network hashrate recently fell below 1 ZH/s (1,000 EH/s), marking its lowest point since September 2025. Analysts suggest that miners are redirecting their power resources to AI and high-performance computing sectors due to profit pressures. Despite mining difficulty being adjusted downward four times since November last year and the price per PH/s/day rising to $40 in recent months, the overall hashrate has declined nearly 15% from its peak in October last year. The founder of StandardHash noted that AI has become a significant competitor for electricity, intensifying the survival challenges faced by mining companies.
