Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Reaches Record 136T: Navigating the Low-Hashprice Era
Bitcoin’s network mining difficulty reached a record high of approximately 136 trillion (T) in early September 2025, marking the fifth consecutive increase since June. Despite a softer mining economy, global network hashrate continues to climb, highlighting sustained investment in mining infrastructure and high-efficiency ASIC miners. This surge in difficulty presents both challenges and opportunities for miners, who must now strategically manage operations to maintain profitability. Understanding Bitcoin Mining Difficulty and Hashrate Mining difficulty is a measure of how hard it is to find a valid hash to mine a new Bitcoin block. The network adjusts this difficulty approximately every 2016...
