[Analyst: Bitcoin Hashrate Drops to 4-Month Low as AI Computing Demand Intensifies Power Competition] Odaily Planet Daily News – Bitcoin network hashrate recently dropped to its lowest level in nearly 4 months. Data from Hashrate Index shows that Bitcoin's 7-day moving average hashrate has fallen to approximately 993 EH/s, marking the first time since mid-September last year that it has dropped below 1000 EH/s, a decline of nearly 15% from the October 19 peak of approximately 1157 EH/s. Leon Lyu, founder and CEO of StandardHash, stated that the primary reason for the hashrate decline is that some miners have redirected power resources to AI computing services in pursuit of higher profit margins. Previously, mining media outlet TheMinerMag pointed out that 2025 presents an extremely challenging profit environment for Bitcoin miners, prompting some mining companies to explore alternative businesses such as artificial intelligence and high-performance computing. The report also mentioned that although Bitcoin mining difficulty has decreased in recent months and miner revenue indicators have improved, the competition for power and computing resources from AI continues, exerting pressure on Bitcoin's total network hashrate.
