Bitcoin mining difficulty is about to undergo a new round of adjustment. According to industry data forecasts, the BTC mining difficulty will rise to 149T by January 2026, while the current difficulty has already reached 148.26T.

2025 is a special year for the mining industry — mining difficulty has repeatedly hit new highs throughout the year. After September, the difficulty experienced two significant increases in a short period, but with a sharp market correction, the difficulty quickly declined. This wave of fluctuations reflects the direct impact of price volatility on miners' costs and profits. From historical highs to market pressure and difficulty adjustments, the entire cycle clearly demonstrates the sensitivity of the mining market — the difficulty algorithm closely follows market trends, and miners' profit margins are also dynamically changing.
