Transaction fees may grab headlines during brief spikes, yet they remain a small slice of what actually keeps mining operations running month after month.<\/p>\n<p>Monthly <a href=\"https:\/\/newhedge.io\/bitcoin\/monthly-miner-revenue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mining revenue data from Newhedge.io<\/a> shows July delivered only a partial recovery after June\u2019s punishing 23% collapse, a drop that erased May\u2019s rally and then some. April closed with $947.26 million in mining revenue before May jumped to $1.086 billion, giving miners one of their strongest months in recent memory.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_836155\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-836155\" style=\"width:2506px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-836155\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Monthly mining revenue data from Newhedge.io. Six-month timeframe logged on Aug. 2, 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That momentum did not last. June revenue plunged to $836.41 million, a sharp reversal that quickly reminded operators how fast favorable conditions can disappear.<\/p>\n<h2>Bitcoin\u2019s Price Offers a Small Lift<\/h2>\n<p>While BTC has slipped 2.2% over the past two weeks, the bigger picture is less severe. Over the past 30 days, bitcoin has remained up a modest 1.6%, offering miners at least some support even as revenue conditions remain well below May\u2019s peak.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/markets.bitcoin.com\/crypto\/bitcoin\/embed\" width=\"100%\" style=\"max-height:500px;height:500px;border:none;overflow:hidden;border-radius:4px\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"bitcoin market data\"><\/iframe> <\/p>\n<p>That modest gain in bitcoin\u2019s price translated into a little extra breathing room for miners in July. Monthly mining revenue climbed from $836.41 million in June to $875.35 million in July.<\/p>\n<h2>Hashprice Improves, but Margins Stay Tight<\/h2>\n<p>This can also be reflected in the hashprice, a term that describes the spot price of hashrate per terahash (TH\/s), petahash (PH\/s), exahash (EH\/s), and so on. 30 days ago the spot value per a single PH\/s <a href=\"https:\/\/data.hashrateindex.com\/network-data\/bitcoin-hashprice-index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">according to stats logged by hashrateindex.com<\/a> was $29.01.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_836157\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-836157\" style=\"width:2376px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-836157 size-full\" title=\"Bitcoin Miners Face August Showdown After Revenue Rebound\" src=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-02-at-11-43-33-am.png\" alt=\"Hashrateindex.com screenshot\" width=\"2376\" height=\"988\" srcset=\"https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-02-at-11-43-33-am-300x125.png 300w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-02-at-11-43-33-am-1024x426.png 1024w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-02-at-11-43-33-am-768x319.png 768w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-02-at-11-43-33-am-1536x639.png 1536w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-02-at-11-43-33-am-2048x852.png 2048w, https:\/\/static.news.bitcoin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/screenshot-2026-08-02-at-11-43-33-am.png 2376w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2376px) 100vw, 2376px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-836157\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">30 day stats on hashprice according to hashrateindex.com on Aug. 2, 2026.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Today, hashprice sits at $31.59 per PH\/s, leaving margins tight despite July\u2019s modest recovery. August could shake things up, with two competing forks giving miners fresh incentives to rethink where they point their hashpower.<\/p>\n<h2>BIP-110 Meets a Difficulty Increase<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/less-than-2-weeks-left-bitcoins-bip-110-clock-starts-ticking-as-miner-support-creeps-higher-before-showdown\/\">BIP-110 enters its key signaling phase<\/a> around Aug. 8-9, but with support still hovering near 2%, the proposal looks unlikely to lock in. That leaves miners watching for brief chain instability rather than a meaningful change to fee income. Interestingly, Bitcoin\u2019s next difficulty adjustment is expected to land just as BIP-110 enters its signaling window, putting two closely watched events on a collision course. Current estimates point to a 1.87% difficulty increase, adding another layer of pressure as miners weigh their options.<\/p>\n<h2>The eCash Fork Could Shift Hashpower<\/h2>\n<p>Later in the month, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/2-bitcoin-forks-are-coming-in-august-everything-you-need-to-know\/\">Paul Sztorc\u2019s eCash fork<\/a> could present a more interesting tradeoff. Fresh SHA-256 chains often attract opportunistic hashpower when difficulty starts low, giving some miners a chance to chase higher short-term returns before economics pulls them back to Bitcoin. In the end, the machines will follow profitability, and any meaningful shift away from BTC mining could leave the miners who stay behind with slightly better economics after the next adjustment.<\/p>\n<p>The next few weeks should reveal where miners believe the best returns lie.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/mining\/bitcoin-miners-face-august-showdown-after-revenue-rebound\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin mining revenue rose to $875.35M in July, rebounding $38.93M from June.
