Bitcoin’s hash price, which measures the revenue generated by miners on a per tera-hash basis, has reached levels not seen since November 2022. Data from Bitinforcharts shows that Bitcoin mining revenue has dropped by over 50%, from $0.118 per terahash per second per day in May to $0.058 currently. The hash price is positively correlated with changes in Bitcoin’s price and transaction fee volume, meaning that higher prices and transaction volumes lead to higher rewards for miners. However, the hash price has a negative correlation with hash rate and mining difficulty adjustments.

Miners are experiencing a decline in revenue at a time when network difficulty reached an all-time high and Bitcoin’s price remained stagnant at around $26,000. A spokesperson from Bitfinex suggested that miners may view the current Bitcoin price as undervalued or slightly below its true value, which could explain their reluctance to sell their holdings. They believe that the price will eventually rebound, making mining at current prices highly profitable.

Miners now face a dilemma of whether to hold onto their Bitcoin or sell it to maintain their profit margins during this period of price decline. If miners start selling their Tokens, it could further drive down Bitcoin’s value and worsen the Market conditions.

In conclusion, while Bitcoin’s network fundamentals such as hash rate and difficulty have reached peaks, its hash price has declined to levels not seen since November 2022. Miners are facing a decline in revenue and are grappling with whether to retain their Bitcoin holdings or sell them to maintain profits. The outcome of this decision could have implications for the future price and market conditions of Bitcoin..
