Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has recorded a steep -11.16% adjustment, marking the largest downward move since the July 2021 crash triggered by China’s mining ban.

Key Takeaways
Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped 11.16%, the biggest decline since 2021 and one of the largest in history.Storm outages and a market sell-off temporarily reduced hashrate, but network power has already rebounded sharply.Miner profitability hit record lows, accelerating the shift toward AI infrastructure and alternative revenue streams.
The drop ranks as the 10th biggest negative adjustment in the network’s history and signals how quickly external shocks can ripple through the system.
The February 7, 2026 adjustment followed a sudden decline in network hashrate. Severe winter storms across parts of the United States forced multiple mining facilities offline, while a broader market sell-off pushed Bitcoin’s price into the low $60,000 range. Together, these pressures reduced overall computational power securing the network, prompting the automatic difficulty recalibration.
Hashrate Rebounds Despite Profitability Squeeze
Despite the sharp correction, network data shows that hashrate has already rebounded by roughly 20% over the past two weeks. As storm-affected miners restore operations, computing power is steadily returning to the network.
However, profitability remains under pressure. Hashprice - a key metric measuring miner revenue per terahash - plunged to a record low near $0.03 per TH/s on February 5. For comparison, that figure stood near $3.50 in 2017, highlighting how competitive and capital-intensive the mining industry has become.
With hashrate climbing again, the next difficulty adjustment, expected around February 20, is projected to swing in the opposite direction, with estimates pointing to a positive correction of roughly 11.5%.

Mining Firms Pivot Toward AI Infrastructure
Volatile revenues are accelerating strategic shifts among large mining operators. Companies such as CleanSpark and TeraWulf are increasingly converting or expanding data center infrastructure to support Artificial Intelligence workloads. The strategy aims to create diversified revenue streams that are less exposed to Bitcoin price cycles.
Corporate restructuring and capital raises are also shaping the sector. Cango Inc. recently secured $75.5 million in equity funding to expand its integrated energy and AI compute platform, while Argo Blockchain received court approval for a restructuring plan addressing $40 million in unsecured notes.
Local Restrictions and Global Clarity
Regulatory developments continue to influence the mining landscape. Canton, North Carolina, passed a 12-month moratorium on new cryptocurrency mining and data center developments on February 11, reflecting growing scrutiny at the municipal level.
In contrast, the Abu Dhabi Global Market issued updated guidance formalizing the licensing and supervision of crypto mining as a recognized commercial activity. The move provides greater regulatory clarity for operators seeking to establish operations in the region.
The latest difficulty adjustment underscores how sensitive Bitcoin’s mining ecosystem remains to weather events, market volatility, and regulatory shifts. Yet the swift hashrate rebound also highlights the network’s resilience, with miners adapting rapidly to changing conditions while exploring new revenue models beyond traditional block rewards.

總之，#Bitcoin 挖礦過程主要旨在防止雙重消費，並在節點之間就區塊鏈的內容建立共識。該機制跟蹤比特幣消費，以確保每個比特幣僅被消費一次。
$BTC
該過程涉及製造計算機硬件進行數學計算，以確認比特幣網絡的交易並增加安全性。處理能力越高，比特幣網絡的安全性就越高。
因此，#Bitcoinmining 出於安全原因需要進行廣泛的數學運算，並涉及使用計算機處理能力維護區塊鏈。

一旦所有2100萬個比特幣被挖掘出來，預計將在2140年左右發生，比特幣網絡將發生幾個關鍵變化：
1. 區塊獎勵：目前，礦工通過新鑄造的比特幣（區塊獎勵）和將交易包含在他們挖掘的區塊中的交易費用獲得獎勵。隨着區塊獎勵大約每四年減少一次（在一個稱爲“減半”的事件中），最終將在最後一個比特幣被挖掘時達到零。從那時起，礦工將僅通過交易費用獲得收入。

挖礦行業仍在動盪中。由於美國的冬季風暴和比特幣價格的下跌，網絡的整體算力下降了12%。然而，依據#MiningUpdates 的數據，這導致了一個意想不到的效果：挖礦難度下降，提高了留在網絡中的人的盈利能力。目前，挖礦收益（hash price）正試圖在上週創紀錄的下跌後穩定下來。

比特幣網絡剛剛經歷了多年來最劇烈的壓力測試之一，在挖礦活動突然下降後觸發了自2021年中國挖礦禁令以來最大的下調難度。

關鍵要點
比特幣的挖礦難度下降了11.16%，這是自2021年以來最大的下降，原因是哈希算力的突然損失。
極端冬季天氣和價格下跌使多達20%的礦工停機，尤其是在美國。
儘管發生了干擾，網絡順利調整並繼續正常運行。

🟠 公開交易的比特幣礦業公司CleanSpark剛剛向其財政中增加了+414.37 BTC。
他們的總持有量現在達到13,513 BTC——推動他們達到：

🏆 #10 在比特幣100排名中 🪜

這很重要的原因：
• 表明對比特幣的強烈長期信念
• 擴大企業BTC財政趨勢
• 加強礦工資產負債表的定位
• 隨着時間的推移減少可用的BTC流通量

礦工不僅僅是在生產比特幣——他們還在積累比特幣。這是一個強有力的信號。⚡️
