In a recent report by Jefferies, it was highlighted that August was a challenging month for Bitcoin miners, with profitability significantly decreasing. The report mentions that with Bitcoin’s price staying below $60,000 and the network hashrate continuing to rise, September may also prove to be a tough month for miners.
The decreasing profitability of Bitcoin mining in August can be attributed to the combination of the stagnant price of Bitcoin and the increasing competition among miners. This trend has continued into September, putting further pressure on miners to maintain profitability.
As the network hashrate rises, miners must invest in more powerful hardware to compete for block rewards, which further erodes their profitability. With these challenges in mind, miners are facing a tough road ahead in the coming months.
