  • Bitcoin miner revenue has fallen to around US$30 million (AU$42.6 million) per day, while transaction fees now contribute only a small share of earnings.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Bitcoin has traded below JPMorgan\u2019s estimated US$78,000 (AU$110,760) production cost for five consecutive months, leaving roughly 20% of miners unprofitable.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Mining difficulty has declined twice this year and public mining companies sold more than 32,000 BTC in the first quarter to fund operations.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    Bitcoin miners are contending with shrinking revenues and rising operational pressure as the market price of Bitcoin remains below estimated production costs. Daily mining income has fallen to approximately US$30 million (AU$42.6 million) on a seven-day average basis, a substantial decline from the more than US$50 million (AU$71 million) recorded last summer.<\/p>\n

    Revenue generated from transaction fees has also diminished. Fees currently contribute less than US$250,000 (AU$355,000) each day, making them a minor component of overall mining earnings relative to block rewards.<\/p>\n

    Bitcoin has been trading around US$62,500 (AU$88,750), compared with JPMorgan\u2019s estimated production cost of roughly US$78,000 (AU$110,760). The cryptocurrency has remained below that level for five consecutive months, the longest period of its kind during the current cycle. Previous market cycles have seen production costs act as a soft floor for prices.<\/p>\n

    Below-Cost Mining Takes Its Toll\u00a0<\/h2>\n

    Current market conditions have left about 20% of miners operating at a loss. Higher-cost participants have increasingly adjusted operations according to price movements, contributing to a stronger relationship between mining difficulty and Bitcoin\u2019s price over the past six months. The beta between the two measures has climbed to 0.62.<\/p>\n

    The impact has extended to the broader network, with mining difficulty falling around 10% in the second week of June. It was the second double-digit decline recorded this year, and both occurred during prolonged periods of below-cost pricing.<\/p>\n

    To manage expenses, public mining companies sold more than 32,000 Bitcoin during the first quarter, using the proceeds to fund operations.<\/p>\n
