JPMorgan Lowers Bitcoin Production Cost Estimate Amid Hashrate Decline

JPMorgan has revised its Bitcoin production cost estimate from $90,000 to $77,000, citing a notable decrease in network hashrate and mining difficulty. According to NS3.AI, this year's drop in mining difficulty is the most significant since China's mining ban in 2021, with a 15% decline. Despite the reduced production cost, JPMorgan maintains a positive outlook on Bitcoin, setting a long-term price target of $266,000.
