Bitcoin's mining difficulty increased by 5.92% to 140.58 trillion, marking its highest level since March 2026 and the third-largest hike this year. This rise reflects more computing power joining the network, pushing the hashrate above 1 zettahash per second, despite a recent dip in daily mining revenue. Another significant difficulty increase, potentially around 14.24%, is anticipated by late October, though this estimate may change as more data comes in. The difficulty adjustment impacts how hard miners must work to find new blocks, influencing mining profitability and network security.
