On May 17, 2025, the mining difficulty $BTC increased by 2.13%, reaching 121.66 T, according to CloverPool data. This adjustment occurred after a decrease of 3.34% two weeks ago, but the rate has not returned to its historical maximum of 123.23 T. The increase in difficulty reflects the increased computations required to find a new block, making mining more challenging and enhancing network security.
The average network hashrate, according to Glassnode, is 846.2 EH/s, although on May 8 it tested a record 925.4 EH/s. The hash price, which shows the yield for 1 PH/s, has recovered to $55–56 thanks to Bitcoin's rally to $105,000 in May. However, major miners are selling up to 70% of mined BTC, moving away from the HODL strategy. This could impact network security due to the divergence between BTC price and hashrate.
