The Bitcoin (BTC) mining hashrate has remained unfazed by the recent happenings in the market including the unfortunate CrowdStrike failure. It turns out that this hashrate registered a sharp recovery, coinciding with the ongoing BTC price rebound.

BTC Hashrate and Mining Difficulty Increases

According to Coinwarz chart, the current mining difficulty for BTC is now pegged at 82.05 trillion. This figure was recorded at block 853,077, resulting in a flat Bitcoin mining difficulty increase of 0.00% in the last 24 hours. Within the last 7 days, the BTC hashrate has registered a 3.21% increase. While the increase in the last 30 days saw a drop by 1.95%, the last 90 days has seen this metric drop by 5.02%.

The next Bitcoin difficulty adjustment is expected to happen on July 31, 2024 at about 04:30:50 PM UTC. On this day, the Bitcoin mining difficulty might increase from the current 82.05 trillion to 88.54 trillion which will take place in 1,707 blocks.

For context, BTC mining difficulty is a metric that shows how difficult mining the next block will be. It measures the number of hashes that needs to be generated to find a valid solution to solve the next Bitcoin block and earn the mining reward.

On a regular basis, the metric is adjusted. The addition of more hashing power to the Bitcoin difficulty means that the difficulty must increase to ensure blocks are not being generated too quickly. To control this, a difficulty re-target block is introduced to either increase or decrease the difficulty.
