Bitcoin difficulty hit 136.61T on May 15 as miner revenue fell 9.44%.

Hashrateindex.com data shows PH/s value slid from $38.97 to $35.29 in 4 days.

Bitcoin fees made up just 0.59% of rewards, keeping focus on BTC price trends.

Although the previous week offered miners a more favorable stretch, conditions have tightened considerably over the last four days. Bitcoin’s network difficulty climbed on May 15 at block height 949536, marking the first upward adjustment in more than a month, or two full epochs. The 3.12% increase lifted the difficulty rating from 132.47 trillion to the current 136.61 trillion.

It also marked the fourth difficulty increase of 2026 and the third largest adjustment recorded so far this year. Bitcoin’s mining difficulty reaching 136.61 trillion means the network is now approximately 136.61 trillion times more difficult to mine a block than it was when Satoshi Nakamoto first launched Bitcoin in 2009. Yet the difficulty adjustment is far from the only pressure weighing on bitcoin mining participants.
The strain has intensified over the last four days following the latest difficulty epoch increase, as revenue tied to hashprice continues to thin. In simple terms, hashprice represents the estimated daily value of 1 PH/s of hashing power. Data recorded by hashrateindex.com shows hashprice stood at $38.97 on May 14. Since then, as mining difficulty climbed, bitcoin miners are now earning 9.44% less, with a single petahash currently valued at roughly $35.29 per day.

This comes as bitcoin retreated from an intraday high above $82,000 on May 14 and now changes hands at $76,680 per coin as of 3 p.m. ET on Monday afternoon, May 18. Current statistics point to a potential difficulty decline at the next epoch adjustment expected on or around May 29, though with 1,576 blocks left to mine at press time, those p

 Crypto Institutional Update 

Bitcoin continues to see growing institutional interest as Strive reportedly added 382 BTC worth $30.3 million in a recent accumulation move.

The purchase highlights ongoing confidence from institutional players despite short-term market volatility and price pressure. Large-scale Bitcoin acquisitions are increasingly being viewed as a long-term positioning strategy rather than short-term trading activity.

Analysts say such buys may help support market sentiment, especially as supply on exchanges continues to tighten over time.

This move adds to the narrative of rising institutional adoption in the crypto space, with more firms gradually increasing exposure to digital assets.
