Bitcoin rebound fails to lift mining profits, gains limited

Bitcoin has climbed to around $86,000, but profitability gains for miners remain limited after the latest difficulty adjustment. Revenue per unit of computing power is estimated to be about 2.65 percent above the prior baseline, based on price, difficulty and recent network hashprice. Fee income has contributed little, accounting for about 0.45 percent of rewards in a recent 144-block sample. Attention is turning to the next difficulty adjustment, currently estimated to decline by 2.48 percent, though the estimate is still early.

Bitcoin miners speed shift to AI data centres, opportunity cost may rise

Bitcoin mining companies are redirecting power and facilities to AI infrastructure as mining profitability deteriorates. Some large miners have begun converting sites, signing long-term computing contracts and cutting new mining equipment spending. Bitcoin trades around $64,000, about 50% below its October 2025 peak, while fees lag and the April 2024 halving cut block rewards. AI data centres offer higher power rates and long-term deals, but critics warn the shift may be poorly timed and difficult to reverse due to high capital costs.
