20% of Bitcoin miners unprofitable as BTC trades below $78K production cost, pressuring the mining sector.

JPMorgan reports that about 20% of Bitcoin miners are now unprofitable due to Bitcoin trading around $62,500, which is well below the estimated $78,000 cost to produce one coin. Public miners sold over 32,000 BTC in Q1 2026 to cover costs, surpassing all of 2025's sales, indicating financial stress. Mining difficulty has dropped significantly, reflecting miners shutting down older, inefficient machines. Investors should watch hashprice trends, mining difficulty, and miner BTC liquidations as these factors could worsen miner profitability and impact Bitcoin's price.
