Bitcoin Mining Gets Tougher Than Ever – But Why Is This a Good Thing?
关注
Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Hits All-Time High Amidst Price Fluctuations
Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has reached new heights, continuing to shape the dynamics of the cryptocurrency’s ecosystem.
According to CoinWarz’s data, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty surged to a staggering 110.45 trillion, marking a new all-time high.

This increase comes at a time when Bitcoin’s price has seen some volatility, dipping below $90,000 yesterday before stabilising above $94,000.
Bitcoin is currently priced above $95,000.
Rising Difficulty Reflects Strengthened Network Security
The latest difficulty adjustment, which rose by 0.61% from 109.78 trillion to 110.45 trillion, means that it has become harder than ever to mine a new Bitcoin block.

This difficulty parameter now indicates that the target for hashing computations is 110.45 trillion times more complex than the baseline set when Bitcoin was launched in 2009.
Although the increase adds to the challenges faced by miners, it’s a positive sign for Bitcoin’s network.
A higher difficulty generally signals a stronger and more secure network, as it means more computational power is needed to process transactions.
Hashrate Shows Signs of Slowing Down
Despite the higher mining difficulty, Bitcoin’s network hashrate has faltered slightly.
After peaking at 824 exahash per second (EH/s) on 6 January 2025, the hashrate has since dropped to 776.3 EH/s, representing a decline of 47.7 EH/s.
This slowdown in computational power comes alongside the difficulty increase, suggesting that mining operations are feeling the pressure.
Leading the global mining pool is Foundry USA, contributing 34.81% of the total hashrate with around 269.59 EH/s.
Antpool follows closely, accounting for 17.15% of the total hashrate, with approximately 132.84 EH/s.
Viabtc occupies third place, contributing 14.13% with 109.40 EH/s.
Across the network, 65 mining pools are participating, with individual contributions ranging from 192.56 kilohash per second (KH/s) to Foundry’s substantial 265 EH/s.

Miner Revenue Declines as Mining Costs Rise
The challenges faced by Bitcoin miners go beyond the increase in difficulty.
Mining revenue has seen a noticeable dip since mid-December 2024.
On 15 December, the revenue for one petahash per second (PH/s) of hashrate per day stood at $65.10.
However, as of now, that figure has dropped by nearly 20%, to $52.22 per PH/s per day.
The decrease in revenue highlights the ongoing economic pressures within the mining sector, which could impact profitability for many miners in the coming months.
A Testing Time for Bitcoin’s Mining Ecosystem
As Bitcoin’s mining difficulty climbs and hashrate slows down, miners are navigating a challenging environment.
The adjustments in the mining metrics indicate a recalibration period for the ecosystem, as it faces shifts in computational power and economic pressures.
How miners adapt to these changes will be crucial in determining the future of Bitcoin mining, as they look for ways to optimise strategies amid fluctuating revenue and increasing costs.
In the face of these challenges, Bitcoin’s overall network resilience remains key.
With the latest price fluctuations and a continuous increase in difficulty, the ecosystem is experiencing a phase of transformation.
According to Bitcoin Perception, the interest on mining has dropped to a one-year low, with limited coverage across mainstream media and social channels.
How mining participants react to these new economic signals could influence the network's direction in the coming months.
