😬Mining conditions are tightening — and the market is starting to show it

The US power market is quietly changing the rules of the game
In key regions covering 13 states and more than 67 million people, regulators are revising electricity tariffs as AI data centers rush to secure direct access to generation. Power is becoming structured, scarce, and expensive.

🧐That shift is already visible on-chain
Bitcoin’s network hashrate has slipped on a monthly basis — a pattern that typically appears when marginal miners can no longer absorb rising costs.

Electricity breakeven levels for common ASIC models have dropped by over 35% year over year, forcing difficult decisions across the industry.

⚡️Electricity Is Getting More Expensive. Mining Is Getting Harder

#BitcoinMining in the US is entering a less forgiving phase. Not because #Bitcoin is weak. But because energy is no longer cheap, predictable, or #miner-friendly.
Over the past year, electricity…

🪬 Bitcoin 2025: which expert forecasts held up — and which quietly failed

December 31 calls for a reality check

2025 was widely framed as Bitcoin’s breakout year. It didn’t end that way. The $150,000 target never came. After peaking at $126,080, BTC rolled over and closed the year in the red.

But the real story goes beyond price

Throughout the year, experts made strong calls on ETFs, institutional adoption, miner strategy, and how the market would evolve. Some predictions held. Others unraveled along the way.

✅We revisited the key expert forecasts for 2025 — and separated what actually played out from what didn’t.
✅Then we looked ahead and compiled expert expectations for 2026, a year already defined by wider ranges and bigger uncertainty.

December 31 is a good moment for honesty.
2025 did not end the way most experts expected. It was a year of stress tests. For #Bitcoin price. For narratives. And for #miners.

🙉 Bitcoin is moving up — While a structural decision looms

Bitcoin entered 2026 with renewed strength. Prices recovered. Risk assets moved higher. Yet one unresolved policy decision continues to shape the backdrop.

On January 15, MSCI will decide whether companies with 50% or more of their assets in digital assets should be excluded from its global equity indices.

This is not a symbolic move. MSCI benchmarks underpin more than $18.3 trillion in assets. Any exclusion would force passive funds to rebalance — mechanically, not selectively.

The proposal has been known since October. It coincided with a $12,000 intraday drop in Bitcoin and weighed on market sentiment throughout Q4. Estimates of potential forced selling range from $10 to $15 billion over time.

The coming decision will test how institutional rules interact with Bitcoin’s evolving demand structure

🚨 Bitcoin difficulty dips — but the network is already gearing up for another squeeze

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty fell to 146.4 trillion on January 8, marking the first downward adjustment of 2026. On paper, that looks like relief. In reality, the network is already signaling the opposite.

Block production is currently running at 9.88 minutes, faster than the protocol target. That means active hashrate remains high — and the protocol is expected to respond with another increase on January 22, lifting difficulty to around 148.2 trillion.

This comes after a brutal Q4 for miners. In November, hashprice dropped below $35 per PH/s per day, well under the widely accepted $40 breakeven level. That forced parts of the network to shut down. But the machines that stayed online are now pushing difficulty back up.

👉We break down what this means for miners right now — and what the next difficulty cycle is likely to do — in our latest longread on LinkedIn:
