[Brief] Bitcoin Miners Face Deepening Margin Squeeze as Revenue Falls Below Production Costs

Bitcoin miners face an intensifying profit squeeze, according to The Block. The combined effect of Bitcoin price volatility and rising mining difficulty has pushed industry-wide revenue below production costs, forcing some high-cost mining operations to reassess their strategies.

Analysts note that the direct cause is the reduction in block rewards following the halving event. Meanwhile, rising electricity costs and hardware investment continue to compress margins. Some miners have started diversifying into higher-value businesses such as AI computing to reduce dependence on single-source mining revenue.
