Bitcoin Miners' Earnings at Lowest Level Since April
Bitcoin miners' earnings have dropped to their lowest level since April amid a $7,000 price fall. This sharp decline in price has significantly impacted mining profitability and hashprice, pushing many operators toward operating at a loss.
Impact of Bitcoin Price Decline
The price of Bitcoin fell from $107,000 to $100,000 today, resulting in a $7,000 decrease. This decline has caused mining profitability to reach multi-month lows, putting additional financial pressure on miners who were already dealing with high electricity costs that consume a large portion of their rewards.
Mining Viability During Price Dip
The recent price dip has rendered mining operations less viable. Operators in regions like Ethiopia are experiencing rapid revenue drops due to changes in energy pricing. As a result, some miners are scaling back operations or considering relocation to more cost-effective jurisdictions.
