On January 8, Bitcoin's mining difficulty experienced a decline of 1.2%, bringing the metric down to 146.47 TH.
This change follows a minor increase of 0.04% in the previous adjustment, which had temporarily broken a streak of reductions.
Currently, Bitcoin's hash rate remains strong, exceeding 1 EH/s, with a seven-day moving average reported at 1.04 EH/s, according to data from Glassnode.
Public mining firms have increased their share of Bitcoin's total computational power to over 40%, with MARA Holdings leading at 5.9% of the global hash rate.

As per Hashrate Index, the current hash price stands at $38 per PH/s per day. Notably, miners' revenue exceeded $40 for the first time since November 2025 just before the recent difficulty adjustment.
It is worth noting that in December, institutional investors accelerated their Bitcoin purchases, outpacing miners' production capabilities.
