Bitcoin mining complexity has updated its historical high

on September 5, 2025, the difficulty of mining bitcoin BTC $113,022.00 Mezo Wrapped BTC 0.70% Market capitalization $41.85 million VOL. 24 hours $1.44 billion reached a new all-time high of 136.04 T. According to CloverPool, the figure increased by 4.9% compared to the previous update. The complexity determines the average computing power required to find a block and directly affects the profitability of miners.

The previous record was set in August, and despite predictions of a possible correction, the metric continued to grow. The average hashrate of the network reached 995.38 EH/s, which indicates a further increase in capacity.

Experts note that the increase in complexity forces miners to constantly invest in more computing resources. As a result, large pools and corporations benefit the most, which increases the risks of centralization in the bitcoin ecosystem.

At the same time, isolated cases prove that even individual network participants can succeed. For example, in June-August 2025, three solo miners mined blocks through the Solo CK service, each receiving 3,125 BTC and a commission. In particular, on July 3, an unknown user mined block #903,883 and earned about $ 350,000, and on June 6, another miner received more than $ 330,000 in rewards.

However, such cases remain exceptions. According to analysts, they only emphasize the trend: in the face of record complexity, mining is becoming more profitable for large companies, while individual players have less and less chance of a stable income.
