Difficulty Adjusts Up (Barely)

Mining difficulty inched higher with an adjustment of ~0.61%. This is now a record-breaking 8 consecutive positive adjustments – dating back to October 2024:

  • 4.1%
  • 3.9%
  • 6.2%
  • 0.6%
  • 1.6%
  • 4.4%
  • 1.2%
  • 0.6%

The average adjustment during this period is ~2.84%. However, four of the past five adjustments have been 1.6% or less. Hashrate will continue to increase in 2025, but we believe that many of the adjustments will be on the smaller side – similar to the recent adjustments.

The 8 consecutive positive adjustments can be attributed to the following reasons (in order of importance):

  • Recovery from Q3 Miner Capitulation
  • Advancements in Machine Technology
  • Additional Hashrate Deployments

Hashprice Consolidating

With the recent Bitcoin dip, Hashprice – the primary metric of Bitcoin miner revenue – has dropped to $0.053/Th/Day. Nevertheless, this is more than 40% greater than the “post-halving” low made in August of 2024.

Miners that have survived the 3.125 epoch up to this point are efficient enough to endure short-term drops in revenue.

Here’s why we’re fired up about these machines:

1. Turnkey Mining: These hydro-cooled Bitcoin miners are available for purchase with zero lead time.

2. Above Average Efficiency: At 20.8 W/T, you’ll be mining more efficiently than most of the public mining companies.

3. Cost Effective & Profitable: At $14/T, the barrier to entry with this machine is low! But you’re not sacrificing profitability either — the XP Hydro profits ~$150 in BTC per month at current prices.

The leftmost column in the table below shows how a single machine performs under current market conditions. With no change in the Bitcoin Price or Hashrate, these machines will ROI in roughly 2 years.

The other columns show how the profitability of these machines increases as the price of Bitcoin increases. If you’re bullish on Bitcoin, these machines are a great way to position yourself.
