Bitcoin miners are experiencing their toughest profitability squeeze in two years due to a sharp drop in bitcoin prices, which fell about 31% from late 2025 highs. The average cash cost to mine one bitcoin rose to nearly $80,000, close to or above current bitcoin prices around $68,000. This has forced less efficient miners to shut down, causing three consecutive negative difficulty adjustments in late 2025, signaling industry contraction. However, miners with lower costs, like Cipher Digital and IREN Limited, remain more resilient, and the efficiency gap is creating acquisition opportunities for stronger players in 2026.
