Since June 1st, mining difficulty is up ~0.5%. 🧵👇



Year-to-date, Bitcoin mining difficulty is up just 16%.

2025 is on pace to have the slowest growth for mining difficulty in Bitcoin history.

Mining growth will continue to slow down for three reasons:

- Mining Hardware Reaching Moore’s Law Limit
- Physical Infrastructure & Energy Production as the Bottleneck for Growth
- Data Center Operators Diversifying into High Performance Computing / AI

This is bullish for Bitcoin miners as it means less competition for the 450 BTC that are mined daily.

While BTC/USD steadily climbs higher into six-figure territory, Bitcoin miners continue to arbitrage compute and energy to produce BTC at a significant discount to the market price.

Right now an S21 XP hosted at Blockware's site is producing 1 BTC for ~$55,000 in electricity.

Besides producing BTC at a major discount to the market price, another benefit of Bitcoin mining is 100% depreciation of the hardware costs.

Tax benefits + BTC accumulation.

This is how generational wealth is created.
