March 22 — Per The Block, Bitcoin’s mining difficulty underwent an adjustment at block height 941,472 (March 21), dropping 7.76% to 133.79 trillion tera hashes per second (TH/s). The network’s current seven-day average hash rate stands at 937.76 exa hashes per second (EH/s). This marks the second-largest difficulty drop this year, trailing only the 11.16% decline recorded on February 7. In February, JPMorgan analysts estimated Bitcoin mining costs had fallen from $90,000 to $77,000 amid exits by high-cost operators, though costs still remain above spot prices. The latest adjustment not only reflects periodic price pressure but also signals a structural shift: an increasing number of publicly traded mining firms are pivoting their infrastructure from Bitcoin mining to AI hashpower services. Core Scientific has stated plans to sell most of its Bitcoin treasury by 2026 to fund expansion into AI and high-performance computing. Bitdeer fully liquidated its Bitcoin reserves in February
