Monday Mining Metrics: 8 Consecutive Positive Difficult Adjustments
Bitcoin Mining Update - 1/13/2025
Difficulty Adjusts Up (Barely)
Mining difficulty inched higher with an adjustment of ~0.61%. This is now a record-breaking 8 consecutive positive adjustments – dating back to October 2024:
4.1%
3.9%
6.2%
0.6%
1.6%
4.4%
1.2%
0.6%
The average adjustment during this period is ~2.84%. However, four of the past five adjustments have been 1.6% or less. Hashrate will continue to increase in 2025, but we believe that many of the adjustments will be on the smaller side – similar to the recent adjustments.
The 8 consecutive positive adjustments can be attributed to the following reasons (in order of importance):
Recovery from Q3 Miner Capitulation
Advancements in Machine Technology
Additional Hashrate Deployments
Hashprice Consolidating
With the recent Bitcoin dip, Hashprice – the primary metric of Bitcoin miner revenue – has dropped to $0.053/Th/Day. Nevertheless, this is more than 40% greater than the “post-halving” low made in August of 2024.
Miners that have survived the 3.125 epoch up to this point are efficient enough to endure short-term drops in revenue.
