Data: Bitcoin mining difficulty hits a new high of approximately 136T, putting pressure on miners' earnings

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

During the same period, the miner Hashprice indicator dropped to around $51 (a recent low), with the August average at $56.44, down about 5% month-on-month; transaction fee contributions remained weak, with the average fee per block at about 0.025 BTC. Multiple factors have combined to tighten miners' profit margins, and future profitability will depend on a rebound in BTC price or on-chain fee rates.
