Bitcoin mining difficulty has dropped by 10%.
The Bitcoin network recorded one of the largest mining difficulty reductions in its history. Difficulty fell 10.09%, from 138.96T to 124.93T.
This marks the 11th largest negative difficulty adjustment in Bitcoin history and the second largest decline in 2026. The adjustment occurred at block 953,568.
The main reason was that some miners shut down capacity amid declining profitability. The latest adjustment period lasted about 15.6 days instead of the standard 14 days, indicating a decline in overall network hash rate.
