Bitcoin Mining Difficulty has reached a new all-time high, achieving seven consecutive rises.

On October 2, the Bitcoin Mining Difficulty rose by 5% on Wednesday, reaching a record high of 150.84 T, marking the seventh consecutive increase. The difficulty resets every 2016 blocks (approximately every two weeks) and is used to measure how hard it is for miners to find new blocks, keeping the average block time at around 10 minutes. This adjustment reflects the continuous growth of network Computing Power, which has now exceeded 1 ZH/s (1.05 ZH/s). Higher Computing Power means more machines are competing to secure the network, enhancing security while also raising the profitability threshold. This pressure has already been reflected in the hash price — the income miners earn per unit of Computing Power. According to Luxor data, this metric has fallen below $50 per second per P of Computing Power.
