Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Drops 19% Amid Low Prices

Bitcoin mining difficulty has experienced its largest decline since China banned mining in 2021, dropping by about 19% from its November 2025 peak.

This significant drop reflects miners exiting the network due to Bitcoin prices staying below $65,000 and reduced block rewards after the 2024 halving.

Public miners have sold over 32,000 BTC in early 2026 to cover costs and are increasingly repurposing mining facilities for AI and high-performance computing.

The difficulty adjustment keeps block production steady despite miner departures, but sustained Bitcoin prices above $65,000 are needed to stabilize mining operations.
