🚨 BITCOIN MINING COST SURGES — MINERS FEEL THE PRESSURE 🚨

Arvind, the latest data shows that the average cost to mine 1 BTC has now climbed to $74.6K, with several major public miners facing production expenses even above the current Bitcoin price. This rising cost is reshaping the entire mining landscape.

Some miners like Hut 8 and Core are paying $105K–$130K per BTC.

Even the most efficient miners are above $46K–$60K per BTC.

With Bitcoin currently around $91K, many miners are operating on razor-thin margins.

This tightening profitability is pushing mining companies to shift their infrastructure and energy resources toward AI compute — a sector offering higher and more stable returns.

Mining economics are entering a new era. As difficulty rises and block rewards shrink, only the most efficient miners will survive. The resource shift to AI is not a trend — it's a strategic pivot for long-term sustainability. Bitcoin’s rising production cost also strengthens its scarcity narrative.

When it becomes this expensive to create new BTC, the long-term value proposition only grows stronger.
