- Bitcoin mining difficulty extends record run below its all-time peak — this brief
Bitcoin’s mining difficulty has spent 374 days below its October 2025 all-time high, according to Bitcoin.com. That is the longest period in the network’s history below a peak, surpassing the earlier record established after Bitcoin’s 2011 crash.
Economist and author Saifedean Ammous highlighted the milestone on Saturday, drawing attention to how long mining difficulty has remained beneath its record. The coverage provides no calculation of how far below the peak difficulty currently sits, but live figures from mempool.space put network difficulty at 148.4T and Bitcoin hashrate at 1,012 EH/s.
Bitcoin.com’s report is the sole supplied source for the 374-day milestone and its comparison with the post-2011 record. Live aggregator data corroborates the current difficulty and hashrate but does not independently establish the duration of the historical streak. As a result, the record is best treated as a single-source historical observation rather than a multi-outlet consensus.
The wider market backdrop is muted. Bitcoin is priced at $75,885, up 0.28% over 24 hours but down 2.06% over seven days, while its market capitalization stands at $1.53 trillion. The total crypto market capitalization is $2.61 trillion, with the overall market described as flat.
Sentiment remains cautious: the Fear & Greed Index is at 25, placing it in Extreme Fear. The mining milestone puts sustained pressure on the miner network’s operating backdrop into focus, while the next closely watched measures are whether difficulty moves back toward its peak and whether hashrate, currently 1,012 EH/s, changes from that level.

The chart plots BTC's price: grey is the move before this brief published, the vertical dashed line marks the moment it published, the horizontal dashed line is the price then, and the coloured area is the move since — from Token Times's market data (daily resolution). It shows what happened after the news, not that the news caused it; many factors move prices. Not financial advice.
At today's peer-to-peer rate, 1 BTC ≈ ₹7.89M (about $75,905.00), up 0.3% over 24 hours. The rupee itself trades about 10.5% above the official rate on the P2P market, so a Indian buyer's effective cost differs from the headline dollar price.
