📊 #bitcoinminingdifficultymayfall1.2% | WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN IT GETS HARDER? (DIFFICULTY)
The difficulty of Bitcoin mining has fallen since a T4 2025 peak of 142 T to about 127 T today. It’s important to clarify what this means.
🔍 WHAT’S HAPPENING?
➔ Difficulty decreases when machines disconnect.
Three consecutive downward adjustments, the first run since July 2022, as hashprice dropped to around US$ 29 per terahash per day and pushed an estimate of 15% to 20% of the network below the profitability threshold.
💡 THE UPSIDE FOR THOSE WHO KEEP GOING:
The counterintuitive part is that for miners who continue operating, lower difficulty is something positive.
Block rewards are fixed; so when hashrate leaves the network, the same reward is split among fewer machines.
➔ Revenue per unit of hashrate recovers even if the price of Bitcoin stays unchanged.
