Bitcoin miners’ earnings hit lowest level since April amid $7,000 price drop

Key Takeaways

  • Bitcoin miners’ earnings have dropped to their lowest level since April amid a $7,000 price fall.
  • The drop in price has slashed mining profitability and hashprice, pushing operators toward losses.

Bitcoin miners are facing their weakest earnings since April after Bitcoin fell from $107,000 to $100,000 today, a $7,000 decline that has sharply reduced profitability across the industry.

The decline in Bitcoin’s price has pushed mining profitability to multi-month lows as hashprice continues to fall, intensifying earnings pressures for operators already contending with high electricity costs that consume a significant portion of their rewards.

Mining operations have become less viable during the current price dip, with operators in regions like Ethiopia experiencing rapid revenue drops due to changes in energy pricing, prompting some to scale back operations or consider relocation to more cost-effective jurisdictions.
