Cointelegraph
Bitcoin mining difficulty decreased by 1.1% to 135.5 T, though projections indicate a rise in the upcoming adjustment.Summary
Bitcoin mining difficulty recently dropped by 1.1% to approximately 135.5 T as miners grapple with economic pressures, including rising energy costs and reduced block rewards. Public mining companies have sold record amounts of Bitcoin in 2026 to cover operating expenses, with some reports suggesting that up to 20% of miners are currently operating at a loss. Despite this slight decline, projections suggest the difficulty will increase to 137.43 T during the next adjustment period in early May.
