Bitcoin's mining difficulty has decreased by 7.76%, marking the second-largest single decline in nearly a year. This adjustment, which occurred over the weekend, reflects a broader trend of declining difficulty, with seven out of the last ten adjustments being negative. The current difficulty stands at 133.79T, down from a peak of 155T in October 2025. The next adjustment is expected on April 3, with a slight increase anticipated. Simultaneously, Bitcoin's hash rate has fallen below 1 ZH/s, approximately 22% lower than its all-time high in 2025. The hash rate, which indicates the network's computational power, peaked at over 1.28 ZH/s in September last year. Recent disruptions, including severe storms in North America, have contributed to the decline, impacting the network's security and miner activity.
