Bitcoin's mining difficulty has dropped by 19.9% from its peak in November 2025, marking the third largest decline since ASIC hardware became standard.

This significant drop reflects a shift in the industry as miners shut down older, less profitable machines due to lower bitcoin prices and rising energy costs.

Public miners sold over 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026, setting a record high, while many mining companies are pivoting to AI data centers, signing multi-billion dollar contracts.
