Mining hits its hardest profitability crunch ever.
Hashprice collapses as miners fight to stay afloat.
Reading TheMinerMag’s breakdown tonight with the waves tapping at my window, I felt the weight of it — $BTC miners are in the toughest spot they’ve ever seen, and même pas une blague.
Hashprice sank from $55 to $35 per PH/s/day in Q3, pushing even efficient operators with cheap electricity to the edge of break-even. And the ROI problem? Brutal. New-gen hardware now requires over 1000 days to pay back — longer than the ~850 days left before the next halving. That’s upside-down economics.
There’s a clear shift happening: miners are racing to reduce debt loads while raising record amounts of external funding — much of it flowing toward AI infrastructure expansion. Early analytics show 7 out of 10 miners increasing income from alternative sources like AI compute, but nowhere near enough yet to survive multiple stagnant quarters in pure mining revenue.
Walking along the promenade after reading all this, I kept thinking: mining isn’t dying — it’s mutating. And the winners will be those who pivot fast, diversify smart, and learn to ride both the crypto and AI tides. 🌊⚡️
