Bitcoin mining difficulty increased by 5% to 150.84 T, reaching a record high and achieving seven consecutive increases

ChainCatcher news, according to market reports, Bitcoin completed a new round of mining difficulty adjustment earlier today, with the mining difficulty increased by 5% to 150.84 T, setting a new historical high. This is also the seventh consecutive increase in mining difficulty since July of this year.

This difficulty adjustment reflects the continuous growth of Bitcoin's total network hash rate, which has now exceeded 1.05 ZH/s. However, the surge in hash rate has also put continuous pressure on miners' profitability. According to Luxor data, the "Hashprice" metric, which measures miners' revenue per unit of hash rate, has fallen below 50 USD/PH/s.
