Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Soars to New All-Time Peak

Published by

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty jumped roughly 15% to a new all‑time high of about 144.4 trillion, bouncing back from a recent steep decline after storms reduced global hashrate by up to 30%. The rebound reflects miners powering machines back on and total hashrate climbing close to 1 zettahash per second, helping keep block times near the 10‑minute target. Even with low hashprices around $24 per PH/s and Bitcoin trading near $67,000, most miners are staying online, showing resilience rather than exiting for other computing markets.
