#BitcoinHashRateSurge Currently, Bitcoin mining difficulty has reached a record high due to the rise of professional miners and the adoption of more powerful mining equipment. In 2024, the difficulty reached 62.46T, up more than 20% from the beginning of the year, as many companies invested in mining infrastructure. In 2025, the difficulty is expected to continue to increase due to fierce competition and the aftermath of the 2024 Bitcoin Halving event, which will reduce the block reward to 3.125 BTC. However, this will make it more difficult for small miners and may lead to restructuring in the industry.
