Mining Difficulty of BTC:

The difficulty of mining Bitcoin is measured by a numerical value that reflects how hard it is to find a hash that meets specific conditions to add a new block to the blockchain. This value is calculated as the ratio between a "base difficulty target" and the "current hash target," expressed as follows:

Difficulty = Base Difficulty Target / Current Hash Target

This target is a very large number in hexadecimal that represents a lower limit of the hash that must be found by miners. The lower this target value, the higher the difficulty because miners must make more attempts (more calculations) to find a valid hash. For example, a difficulty of 25 trillion implies that on average more than 25 trillion hashes must be generated to find the correct one.
