The positive adjustment comes at a time when Texas, a prominent hub of Bitcoin mining, grapples with soaring electricity prices resulting from an ongoing heatwave, as per CBS News.

Typically, the summer months prove challenging for Bitcoin miners due to the surge in electricity costs, potentially negatively impacting Bitcoin’s difficulty adjustments. However, the steadfastness of the hash rate network speaks volumes about the miners’ ability to maintain operations despite the escalating energy rates.
