Bitcoin Difficulty Steady at 135.59T as Miner Stress Signals Mount Near $75K

Bitcoin mining difficulty remains at 135.59 trillion after a 1.13% drop on April 19, but volatile hashrate at 1.063 ZH/s, daily revenue of $28-35 million, and 32,000 BTC sold by miners in Q1 signal rising stress with hashprice near $33/PH/s/day. Expectations of a 2.9% decline on April 16 led to smaller drops—1.1% to 135.5T by April 18 and 2.43% overall to 135.59T on April 17—buoyed by 13.65% hashprice gains, yet 20% of miners are unprofitable. Faster blocks point to a rebound to 137.43T by May 1, amplifying supply pressure on BTC near $75,400.
