Mining GoMining: The Bitcoin Network Has Entered a New Zetahash Era

According to GoMining, at the end of 2025 the average daily hashrate of the Bitcoin network remained above the 1 ZH/s level for seven consecutive days. The increase in computing power was the result of large-scale hardware upgrades and the expansion of data centers.

Small players are now gradually exiting the market, while the industry increasingly resembles the energy sector with high barriers to entry, analysts noted.

“However, despite the record growth in computing power, revenue per unit of hashrate is declining. Miners’ earnings are now almost entirely dependent on the price of bitcoin and the current level of network difficulty. Previously, temporary spikes in fees and block-finding bonuses provided additional support, but today these ‘safety cushions’ have virtually disappeared,” GoMining explained.

After the most recent halving in April 2024, the situation worsened: the block reward fell to 3.125 BTC, and transaction fees did not compensate for the loss of revenue, accounting for less than 1% of total payouts. As a result, miners have become almost completely dependent on fluctuations in the price of bitcoin, experts noted.

Analysts emphasized that the current situation makes the mining market more mature and professional, while at the same time more sensitive to price volatility. This could increase pressure on industry participants if the leading cryptocurrency’s prices continue to decline.

Earlier, specialists from crypto asset management hedge fund Capriole Investments reported that in January the average cost for mining companies to produce one bitcoin reached $74,300.

Bitcoin mining difficulty has increased. What is happening in the network

As a result of the latest adjustment, mining difficulty increased to 138.96 T (trillion), according to Cloverpool. This means miners need to calculate about 139 trillion hash functions on average to mine the new 3.125 BTC — roughly $229,000 at the current price of about $73,600.

Bitcoin Miners’ Revenues Fell 9.44% After Sharp Mining Difficulty Increase

After the hashprice metric approached the $40 per petahash per second (PH/s) mark, the latest decline in Bitcoin’s price caused hashprice to fall, reducing mining profitability since May 14. The following day, the situation worsened further due to a difficulty adjustment, which increased mining difficulty by 3.12% compared to the previous epoch.
