  • Bitcoin miners are operating at steep losses, with average production costs around $88,000 per coin versus a market price near $69,200, as rising energy prices and war-related disruptions squeeze margins.
  • Geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, including oil above $100 and the effective closure of the Strait of Hormuz, are driving up electricity costs and contributing to falling hashrate, slower block times, and sharp drops in network difficulty.
  • Strained mining economics are forcing miners to sell more bitcoin and push into AI and high-performance computing for steadier revenue, adding pressure to a market already weighed down by underwater holders and heavy leverage.
