{"content":"🧱 BTC Miners Face Record Challenge — Difficulty Hits All-Time High Data suggests the Bitcoin Difficulty will rise by 5% in the approaching network adjustment, making miners' jobs harder than ever. A BTC blockchain parameter called Difficulty governs how hard it is for miners to locate mining tasks. Its objective is to slow miners down. Although quicker transaction processing for miners should be an advantage for BTC as a form of payment, Satoshi created the functionality to combat inflation. The block subsidy compensates miners for adding new transactions to the network. The only option to increase asset production is with the block subsidy. If miners can freely add blocks and obtain this incentive, they will swamp the market with money. Supply-demand dynamics indicate this will devalue cryptocurrencies. Satoshi created the Difficulty to control inflation. If miners increase their computational power faster than the network wants, the Difficulty automatically rises to slow validators to the regular pace. Bitcoin's desired block time is 10 minutes. As seen here, miners are processing blocks quicker than usual. Recently, Bitcoin miners average 9.52 minutes per block, which is too quick. Thus, the blockchain is expected to raise Difficulty by 5.1%. The BTC network changes its Difficulty every two weeks, with the next occurrence expected at 4:25 AM UTC Friday. After the increase, Difficulty will reach 136.29 terahashes, a new ATH. Miners will confront this strain following weeks of record-high Difficulty. As seen in the chart above, the Bitcoin Difficulty has had four consecutive positive revisions, three of which resulted in new ATHs. Blockchain.com statistics reveals miners have only increased their computer power to a record. Whether miners will continue to grow after the Difficulty rise or roll back in the following days is unknown. #BTCvsETH #MarketPullback #ListedCompaniesAltcoinTreasury #SaylorBTCPurchase $BTC $ETH ","images":["https://d2kdcqywr8ua22.cloudfront.net/uploadfile/article/blog/2025092025/09/05/6e5251152e8d43b18b42f057226bf3b3.png"],"tags":[],"tradingPairs":["ETH/USDT"],"quotearticleid":0}
