Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Dips as Hashrate Hits All-Time High

[lingriiddd]

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty dropped 2.7% to 146.7T this week, even as the network’s hashrate surged to a record 1.2 trillion hashes per second, according to CryptoQuant and CoinWarz. The next adjustment, expected on Oct. 29, could push difficulty back up to 156.9T, intensifying pressure on miners already facing tighter margins.

Difficulty adjustments suggest some miners are optimizing energy use despite record network strength.

The combination of high hashrate and slight difficulty dip may indicate a more efficient mining cycle.
