Bitcoin mining difficulty has remained below its all-time high of 155.97 trillion for 374 days as of November 7, setting the longest such period in the network's history. The peak was reached on October 29, 2025, and since then difficulty dropped about 20% before rising again but still below the peak. This surpasses previous longest durations after the 2011 crash and China's 2021 mining ban. Economist Saifedean Ammous notes this marks a new phase for Bitcoin mining, outlasting major past downturns and regulatory impacts.
