The mining difficulty of Bitcoin has reached unprecedented levels, leading to intensified competition among publicly listed cryptocurrency miners and putting pressure on their profit margins. The mining difficulty, which represents the computational power required to mine new Bitcoin, has been steadily increasing and is viewed as an indicator of future price movements. This surge in difficulty comes at a challenging time for miners who have already faced a reduction in mining rewards due to the halving event in April. Despite these challenges, miners are expanding their operations, indicating their belief in a significant price increase in the near future. However, major publicly traded mining companies have seen their stock prices decline this year. The struggles in the mining industry are also reflected in declining Bitcoin production and revenues, signaling growing challenges in the sector.
