Bitcoin’s Mining Difficulty Adjustment Bitcoin’s mining difficulty just dropped by 3.28%, settling at 141.67 trillion. That’s a level we haven’t seen since September 2025, which is interesting when you think about it. The adjustment happened at block height 933408, and it’ll stay at this setting for the next 2,016 blocks—roughly two weeks. This feels like…
Major Bitcoin Sale by Mining Company Riot Platforms, the Bitcoin mining and data center operation, made a significant move in December 2025. They sold off 1,818 Bitcoin for about $161 million.

When you see numbers…
Profit margins collapse across mining industry November 2025 turned out to be a brutal month for Bitcoin miners. I think we saw something pretty significant happen here—profitability dropped to levels that just don’t make sense for most operations anymore.

Inside the American Bitcoin Mining Operation Eric Trump recently gave the crypto community a behind-the-scenes look at American Bitcoin’s mining facility through a video shared on social media.
