Bitcoin mining difficulty has decreased, affecting the market and the strategies of companies in the cryptocurrency industry.

Current State of Bitcoin Mining

According to CryptoQuant data, Bitcoin's mining difficulty fell to 108.1 trillion on January 27, 2025, marking the first reduction this year. The current hashrate stands at approximately 832 exahashes per second. Over the past week, a 2.12% decrease in mining difficulty has been observed.

Diversification and Strategies of Mining Companies

In 2024, many mining companies diversified their operations, investing in AI and high-performance computing centers. With reduced profits post-halving, a Bitcoin corporate treasury strategy was adopted. However, mining stocks struggled to keep pace with Bitcoin price increases.

AI Impact on Stock Market and Mining

The release of China's AI model DeepSeek R1, trained for $6 million, caused a steep decline in AI company stocks. Over $1 trillion in shareholder value was liquidated, affecting investor sentiment and attitudes towards high-performance processors.

The decrease in Bitcoin mining difficulty presents new opportunities and challenges to the market. Diversification and the adoption of new technologies like AI are having significant impacts on the industry.
