Mining average price reaches 80,000? - Bitcoin mining giants support Stratum V2 to cope with rising costs
It is reported that the seven major Bitcoin mining pools have joined the Stratum V2 working group, aiming to promote open standard communication between mining pools and miners. New members include Antpool, Block Inc., F2Pool, Foundry, Mara Foundation, Spiderpool, and DMND. The Stratum V2 protocol aims to improve work sharing efficiency between mining pools and individual miners, enhance communication speed and security, and give miners more block template options. Currently, mining competition is fierce, with Foundry and Antpool controlling nearly 30% and 17.7% of global mining pool hash rate, respectively. CoinShares estimates that under current conditions, 15% to 20% of global Bitcoin miners may be operating at a loss, especially those using older equipment or facing higher electricity costs. CoinShares also points out that Q4 2025 will be the most challenging quarter for miners since the April 2024 halving, with the average cash cost to produce one Bitcoin around $79,995.
