Summary

Bitcoin mining difficulty fell 5% to 127.17 trillion at block height 957,600 in the network’s latest scheduled adjustment. The change reduced difficulty from 133.87 trillion, a drop of about 6.70 trillion, after the previous adjustment cycle lasted about 14 days, 18 hours and 9 minutes with an average block time of 10 minutes and 32 seconds. The network’s seven-day average hashrate stood at about 908 EH/s on July 11, down about 7.9% from 986 EH/s on July 1, while hashprice rose 12.5% to $31.1 per PH/s from $27.6, though it remained about 37.2% below the October 2025 peak of $49.4. Difficulty adjustments are designed to keep Bitcoin block production near its target pace as mining power on the network changes.
