BTC.com monitors the difficulty of network mining. Every two weeks or so, when changes are made, an update is also posted.

The Block claims that the dramatic decrease in mining complexity this summer was caused by Miners shutting off their devices out of concern for power management during periods of high demand.

Mining difficulty is determined by how complicated the process is. A hash below a particular level is usually sought after by miners during the mining process.

The difficulty changes every 2,016 blocks, or approximately every two weeks, in step with the network's hash rate, and miners who “find” this code get the reward for the subsequent transaction block.

Numerous private sector bitcoin mining companies have increased their cryptocurrency business despite the rise in mining difficulty.

In order to seize possibilities presented by the protracted bear market, CleanSpark increased the size of its cryptocurrency mining operation in August.

According to a report from Blockchain.News, CleanSpark reported that it engaged into a legally binding contract with Waha Technologies, a low-carbon Bitcoin miner, to buy a Cryptocurrency mining site, along with the mining equipment and facility.

Along with purchasing 3,400 of the most recent generation of Antminer S19 series mining equipment from Waha Technologies for about $8.9 million, the US Bitcoin mining company also purchased an operational Bitcoin mining facility in Washington, Georgia for $16.2 million.

However, in addition to the difficulty of mining, cryptocurrency mining companies also have a number of fixed costs, such as power, rent, and rigs used in the actual mining of cryptocurrencies. As a result, it can be difficult for their margins when the market drastically depreciates the amount of money they are holding in cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

A report from Blockchain.News claims that as Bitcoin's value dropped by 45% in June, many publicly traded Bitcoin mining companies sold more of the cryptocurrency than they had mined in May. Additionally, in June, Bitfarms sold 1,500 Bitcoins for around $62 million, and the money from the sale was used to pay off some of its debt.
