[Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Increases by 5% to 150.84 T, Reaching a New All-Time High with Seven Consecutive Increases] According to Glassnode data, Bitcoin has completed a new round of mining difficulty adjustment today, with difficulty increasing by 5% to 150.84 T, setting a new historical record. This marks the seventh consecutive increase in Bitcoin mining difficulty since July of this year. The adjustment reflects the continuous growth of the network's total hash rate, which has now surpassed 1.05 ZH/s. However, the surge in hash rate has put pressure on miners' profitability. Luxor data shows that the 'Hashprice' indicator, which measures miners' revenue per unit of hash rate, has fallen below $50/PH/s, further squeezing miners' profit margins.
