|
6.1
Bitcoin miners are operating at a roughly 21% loss as average production costs are estimated at about $88,000 per coin versus a spot price near $69,200, Checkonchain's difficulty-based model shows. Rising oil prices and disruptions around the Strait of Hormuz have increased electricity costs, prompting falling hashrate, a 7.76% difficulty drop, and miners reallocating capacity to AI and HPC, pressuring market liquidity.
