Bitcoin mining difficulty has fallen 19.9% from its peak, marking one of the largest contractions in the ASIC era, driven by a 12% hashrate decline since December. Despite this, shares of listed miners have risen due to significant AI and high-performance computing (HPC) lease contracts, such as Hut 8's $26.6 billion AI portfolio. This shift reflects miners repurposing power and infrastructure for AI workloads amid lower Bitcoin prices and mining revenue. The network remains secure with difficulty adjustments stabilizing block production, but the trend signals a structural shift rather than a temporary downturn, with some mining capacity permanently moving to AI projects.
