Bitcoin miners are facing increasing financial pressure as their revenue continues to decline, with the 7-day moving average dropping to approximately $30 million per day, down from over $50 million last summer. Transaction fees have become negligible, contributing less than $250,000 daily. Currently, Bitcoin is trading around $62,500, significantly below JPMorgan's estimated production cost of $78,000, a gap that has persisted for five months. This prolonged disparity has resulted in about 20% of miners operating at a loss, with network-level pressure mounting. The mining difficulty's beta to Bitcoin's price has increased to 0.62 over the past six months, prompting high-cost miners to intermittently shut down operations based on price fluctuations. In June, mining difficulty saw a 10% drop, marking the second significant correction this year. To manage operating costs, listed mining companies sold over 32,000 BTC in the first quarter, opting to maintain production capacity rather than reduce it further.
