At 901,152 block height on Friday, the Bitcoin Network recorded its 12th difficulty adjustment this year, sliding just 0.45%, reducing the difficulty to 126.41 trillion. The following day, Saturday, miners pushed the network’s computing power to yet another peak, overturning previous highs recorded last month.
The difficulty is reduced and the hashrate soars, but the miners are still feeling the heat
On June 14, 2025, Bitcoin hashrate opened up a fresh milestone, reaching a peak of 946 exahash (EH/s) based on a seven-day simple moving average (SMA). Previous all-time highs (ATH) were set on May 31st, when the network reached 943 EH/s. As of 8am on Saturday, the hashrate was measured at 944.84 EH/s.
According to HashrateIndex.com, there will be a Bitcoin hashrate on Saturday, June 14th, 2025.
This latest ATH arrived shortly after a slight adjustment of difficulty. This is 0.45% immersion, with metrics down to 126.98 trillion to 126.41 trillion. This shift has provided minor relief, but the difficulties remained rising and weighed heavily on miners. The next readjustment is expected around June 29, 2025. Of the 12 changes in difficulty so far this year, eight were upward revisions and four downward movements.
Meanwhile, mining revenue has declined compared to levels seen 30 days ago, with Hashpris slipping from $55.53 per second (PH/s) per day on May 14th to its current $52.92 per PH/s. In the last 24 hours, miners have earned an average of 3.17 BTC from both block subsidies and transaction fees, with fees totaling just 1.32%.
At this point, block times are behind the ideal 10-minute average, with the next difficulty adjustment (aligned on June 29th) being projected to be tentatively down around 7.74%. Naturally, those numbers are fluid and could change dramatically before the changes are implemented. Especially when the hashrate is maintained at a high level and block production begins to accelerate.
