Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Reaches New Peak, New ATHs Ahead
The recent rise in the mining difficulty of Bitcoin has reached a new peak, reaching 110.45 trillion. This unprecedented surge marks eight consecutive positive adjustments, indicating an increasingly challenging environment for miners.
In response to the heightened competition and difficulties, many publicly traded mining companies are adapting by shifting their focus towards high-performance computing (HPC) and artificial intelligence (AI). MARA Holdings, one of these companies, has expanded into HPC and AI to boost its earnings. Additionally, they have issued convertible bonds to purchase more Bitcoin and started lending out Bitcoin to generate additional income.
This transformation highlights the resilience of the Bitcoin mining network in the face of adversity. Despite rising challenges posed by the increasing difficulty, the 7-day moving average hashrate now stands at 775 exahashes per second, demonstrating the strength and adaptability of the ecosystem.
The data suggests a thriving environment, indicating that miners are continuously innovating to push the network forward.
