According to TheEnergyMag, influenced by the significant drop in Bitcoin prices in early June leading to a sharp decline in network hash rate, Bitcoin mining difficulty is expected to decrease by approximately 9.55% in about eight hours. This will be the second-largest reduction this year and will reduce the computational effort required to produce blocks over the next two weeks (within one difficulty cycle), thereby directly increasing the unit hash rate earnings for active miners on the network. Analysis indicates that if the coin price and network transaction fees remain stable, this 9.55% difficulty adjustment will boost BTC output for active hash rate by over 9%, potentially driving the network hash rate back above $30/PH/s. Besides economic incentives driving older mining machines to shut down proactively, another major core driver of the hash rate decline is the transformation of some power generation capacity toward high-performance computing (HPC) and AI data centers.
