Khó khăn khai thác Bitcoin giảm vào năm 2026, thợ mỏ có thể thở phào nhẹ nhõm không?

【Coin World】Bitcoin mining difficulty slightly decreased to 1.464 quadrillion during the first adjustment in 2026, providing miners who have endured a year of hardship with a brief respite. Lowering costs and improving efficiency have made this year challenging for the entire industry.

However, don’t celebrate too early—block time has already exceeded 10 minutes. According to protocol rules, the next adjustment on January 22 is expected to push difficulty back to around 1.482 quadrillion.

It appears difficulty remains at elevated levels, reflecting the aftereffects of the 2024 halving event. Miners are indeed facing difficult times, with profitability indicators like hash price having fallen below sustainable levels. The short-term difficulty decrease is more of a buffer than a turning point. The entire mining ecosystem still needs to adapt to this new normal of high difficulty and low profitability.
