Bitcoin mining difficulty adjustment: January latest data analysis, what's going on with the hash power ecosystem?

【Blockchain Rhythm】Bitcoin mining has ushered in new changes. According to the latest data, on January 8th, at block height 931,392, the mining difficulty experienced an adjustment. This time, the change was modest—down by 1.20%, ultimately stabilizing at 146.47T.

Looking deeper, the current average hash rate across the network over the past seven days remains at approximately 1.06ZH/s. This wave of difficulty reduction reflects recent adjustments in the hash rate ecosystem. For miners, fluctuations in mining difficulty directly impact revenue expectations; a slight decrease means that with the same hash rate input, output can be relatively improved.

This periodic difficulty adjustment is a self-balancing mechanism of the Bitcoin network—by changing the difficulty parameter to ensure the stability of block generation speed, even as the total network hash rate fluctuates. For participants concerned with mining profitability, such data is worth continuous monitoring.
