Bitcoin mining difficulty drops by 10.09%, its second largest decline of the year
Bitcoin mining difficulty dropped by 10.09% on June 14, 2026. This second largest decline of the year offers immediate relief to miners after a sharp hashrate contraction and a new degradation of their profitability. The network difficulty fell from about 138.96 trillion to 124.93 trillion. This adjustment comes after a clear hashrate drop, which is the total computing power mobilized to secure Bitcoin and produce its blocks.
