In 2024, Bitcoin mining experienced both advancements and challenges. Miners embraced new technology, renewable energy, and expanded into areas like AI. However, energy costs, regulatory limitations, and illegal activities remained issues to be addressed. The adoption of efficient mining equipment was a major trend, and Ethiopia became a key player by attracting miners with hydroelectric power. Mining operations expanded globally, with companies diversifying their efforts. Some companies raised significant funds, while others faced setbacks from illegal mining. The demand for mining hardware increased, driving up prices. Institutional interest in mining also grew. Despite progress, high energy costs, market volatility, and environmental concerns still need to be addressed as mining evolves with renewable energy integration, better hardware, and diversification into new technological fields.
