Bitcoin's mining difficulty has surged by 5% to a new record high of 150.84 T, marking the seventh consecutive increase since July. This adjustment, reported by Glassnode, reflects the ongoing rise in Bitcoin's hashrate, which now exceeds 1.05 ZH/s. Despite the growth in hashrate, miners face profitability challenges as the 'hashprice'—a measure of revenue per unit of hashrate—has dropped below $50 per hashrate per second, according to Luxor data.
