Data: Bitcoin mining difficulty has reached a new high of about 136T, putting pressure on miner earnings.

According to ChainCatcher news and citing data from BeInCrypto and Mempool/Hashrate Index, on September 7 (UTC), Bitcoin completed a Difficulty Retargeting at Block 913,248, rising to approximately 136.0T, an increase of 4% from the previous value, marking the 5th consecutive increase since June. At the same time, the miner Hashprice indicator dropped to about 51 dollars (a recent low in the past few months), with an average of 56.44 dollars in August, a month-on-month decline of about 5%; transaction fee contributions were weak, with an average fee of about 0.025 BTC per block. Multiple factors have combined to tighten the profit margins for miners, and future profitability depends on the rise in BTC prices or on-chain fee rates.
