Sales come as dealers around the world panic-sell most asset classes, with shares hit the hardest. US President Donald Trump’s tariffs added uncertainties to the market, and a trade war with China added more concerns to miners.
Currently, Chinese producers have the brother party of the market for the machines most miners use to mine for their block payments. If the tariffs hold, they are likely to make mining more expensive for those who are already navigating with higher energy costs and lower profit margins after the recent halving that cuts their rewards by half.
Adding to the pain hit the Bitcoin network’s computing power-a goal for the competition for miners-a new highlight of 1 Zettahash per day. Second (1 zh/s) on Friday, according to data from Glassnode. The previous record was set on January 31, when the network hit 975 Exahashes per day. Second (EH/S).
As competition rose, the Bitcoin price has dropped from the recent height of over $ 109,000 to $ 77,0000 and pushed mining income. Hashprice, a measure of daily income compared to hashish stream – has fallen to a record low $ 42.40 that pushed miners even more.
