⛏️ Bitcoin Mining Is Losing Hash Power — Is AI Changing the Industry? Publicly listed Bitcoin miners saw their combined hash rate fall from 368.3 EH/s in Q4 2025 to 319 EH/s in Q2 2026, representing a 13.4% decline. Excluding Bitdeer’s expansion, the drop was even more significant at around 21.2%, compared with a roughly 10.6% decline in the broader Bitcoin network. The pressure is coming from two major directions: 📉 Weaker mining economics are squeezing profitability. 🤖 AI and HPC demand is competing for the same power and infrastructure resources. As AI workloads continue demanding enormous amounts of electricity and data-center capacity, Bitcoin miners may increasingly face a strategic choice: keep mining $BTC or redirect their infrastructure toward higher-margin AI/HPC workloads. This raises a bigger question: Could AI’s growing appetite for power fundamentally reshape the economics—and even the future structure—of Bitcoin mining? 👀 $BTC #CPIPPIEaseFedSplit #SP500Nears8000
