Records show that 2026 has logged 19 total adjustments with eight increases and now 11 decreases following the latest change. The <a href=\"https:\/\/mempool.space\/graphs\/mining\/hashrate-difficulty\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">latest 0.03% reduction<\/a> is the smallest move of the year, and the network\u2019s difficulty now stands at 132.72 trillion.<\/p>\n<p>The shift is modest enough to have little material <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bitcoin.com\/what-is-bitcoin-mining\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">effect on bitcoin miners<\/a>, with the next difficulty adjustment expected on Oct. 18, 2026. Presently, block intervals are a bit slower at ten minutes and 48 seconds, but that could change over the next two weeks. So while Bitcoin has recorded eight increases totaling +33.34%, the network\u2019s 11 reductions, amounting to -45.30%, leave it with a net decline of -11.96% since the start of the year.<\/p>\n<p>This has provided some welcome breathing room for bitcoin miners, <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-price-gets-squeezed-at-84k-as-85k-becomes-the-next-test\/\">while BTC\u2019s recent rally<\/a> has further strengthened mining revenue. Bitcoin\u2019s hashprice, or the value of the daily output generated by 1 petahash per second (PH\/s), reached a 30-day high of $41.51 while dipping to a low of $37.45 per PH\/s. For most of the month, however, hashprice has hovered around $40 per petahash.<\/p>\n<h2>September Mining Revenue Posts One of 2026\u2019s Strongest Months<\/h2>\n<p>For September, bitcoin miners recorded the best month in revenue since January, when miners raked in $1.12 billion. That\u2019s just a hair below January\u2019s $1.15 billion. It was also one of the best months since May 2026, when miners accrued $1.08 billion,<a href=\"https:\/\/newhedge.io\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> according to newhedge.io metrics<\/a>. The question now is whether this momentum can carry through the final months of the year.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_852926\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-852926\" style=\"width:2025px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-852926\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bitcoin miner revenue monthly data via Newhedge.io metrics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Miners are enjoying a rare respite, and it may prove more durable than precarious. The year\u2019s net difficulty decline has given operators genuine breathing room, while hashprice hovering near $40 points to steady, workable margins. September\u2019s strong revenue, coupled with bitcoin\u2019s recent spike in August and September, suggests <a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/market-updates\/bitcoin-price-begins-uptober-swing-back-85k\/\">momentum is still gathering<\/a> rather than simply flashing and fading. Whether that momentum carries through the remainder of the year, however, remains to be seen.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/news.bitcoin.com\/mining\/bitcoin-miners-bank-strong-september-as-difficulty-barely-budges\/\">Source link <\/a><br \/>\n<br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Originally posted on : Bitcoin News ) Key Takeaways Bitcoin difficulty dipped just 0.03% to 132.72 trillion at block 969696.
