Bitcoin mining complexity has set a new historical record

The complexity of bitcoin mining BTC $121,873.86 Bitcoin 3.03% Market capitalization $2.42 trillion VOL. 24 hours $2.8 billion has increased by almost 8.2% in the recent period, which was one of the biggest jumps of 2025. According to the updated data, as of July 12, the figure stood at 88.1 trillion hashes, which underscores the growing competition among miners and the increase in the network’s computing power.

The increase in complexity is due to the growing number of connected devices and hardware upgrades at leading mining companies. Analysts note that this process is natural for the market, as the rise in the price of bitcoin stimulates additional investment in mining. Thus, coin mining is becoming more energy-intensive and requires more modern solutions to maintain profitability.

Market participants emphasize that further growth in complexity may affect the profitability of small mining farms operating with outdated equipment. At the same time, large players gain an advantage by scaling up and implementing efficient technologies.

Changing the complexity is an important factor for the stability of bitcoin, as it allows maintaining a regular interval of new blocks regardless of the number of miners. It is the balance between complexity and computing power that ensures the stability and security of the network.

Experts expect that if the current market dynamics continue, mining will remain a competitive industry where innovation and process optimization will be key to long-term success.
