Bitcoin Mining Difficulty Poised to Hit New Peak with January 2026 Network Adjustment

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty climbed to 148.2 trillion in the final 2025 adjustment and is projected to rise toward about 149 trillion around January 8, 2026, at block height 931,392. Faster-than-target block times and pressure on miner profitability are driving tighter conditions, while Bitmain responds with steep discounts on S19 XP+ Hydro hardware slated to ship in January 2026.
