What's the Latest Before the Big Halving in Bitcoin? What Do Miners Do?


As Bitcoin's expected halving approaches, miners are facing a new reality: rewards are being reduced to 3,125 BTC. Against a backdrop of record revenues and increased competition, this raises the question of what miners will innovate to stay profitable.
According to analysts at cryptocurrency analytics firm CryptoQuant, halving the reward amount will force miners to innovate and improve. Daily revenues may have reached new highs, but the miner hash price is 30% lower than the last pre-halving levels. This shows that earnings per trade are decreasing.
The report notes that the significant drop in transaction fees has also added to this pressure, further impacting the profitability of Bitcoin miners as the halving approaches. The increase in the Bitcoin network's hash rate suggests that more miners are competing for the same rewards. This intense competition is forcing miners to adapt to lower revenues and increased competition.
According to data from CryptoQuant, some miners are selling more BTC ahead of the halving. Daily sales to OTC (over-the-counter) desks reached 1,600 Bitcoin at the end of March, the highest level since August 2023. This suggests that miners are trying to maximize their profits ahead of the halving.
According to analysts, miners need to adapt to this new reality as the Bitcoin halving approaches. Innovation and efficiency will be the key to profitability. The report states that the halving could reshape the mining industry and increase demand for greener energy solutions.
