Data: Bitcoin mining difficulty adjusted to approximately 136T, miners' earnings under pressure

ChainCatcher news, according to BeInCrypto citing Mempool/Hashrate Index data, on September 7 (UTC), Bitcoin completed a difficulty adjustment at block 913,248, rising to approximately 136.0T, an increase of 4% from the previous value, marking the fifth consecutive increase since June.

During the same period, the miner Hashprice index dropped to about $51 (a recent low), with an average of $56.44 in August, a month-on-month decrease of about 5%; transaction fee contributions were weak, with an average fee of about 0.025 BTC per block. A combination of multiple factors has tightened miners' profit margins, and future profitability will depend on the rebound of BTC prices or on-chain fee rates.
