Average Cost to Produce 1 BTC Among Public Miners

The average cash cost to mine one bitcoin has reached $74,600, while the all-in cost including depreciation and SBC climbed to $137,800.
With network hashrate surpassing the symbolic 1 ZH/s milestone, competition has intensified and mining profitability has sharply declined. This shift is pushing many public miners to reallocate capacity toward AI/HPC workloads, where margins are significantly higher than in traditional BTC mining.

As a result, the industry is splitting into two distinct models:

• Infrastructure providers repurposing mining data centers for high-margin compute tasks
• Traditional miners operating in a more competitive, near–zero-margin environment

🌟 In many cases, these firms now trade below the net asset value of the Bitcoin they hold — a signal that the traditional structure of digital-asset treasury operations may be approaching a fundamental shift.

The Possible End of the Traditional Altseason and a Shift in Market Liquidity

📌 Reports suggest that from 2026 onward, the classic “altseason” — where liquidity broadly flows across most altcoins — may no longer repeat.

📌 In upcoming cycles, capital is expected to move selectively, concentrating on crypto bluechip projects with real-world utility, strong infrastructure, institutional adoption, and sustainable fundamentals, rather than hype-driven assets.

● Meanwhile, despite ambitious Bitcoin price targets for 2026, some analysts warn that the current cycle is not over and that deep corrections or a prolonged bear market scenario remain possible.

❗️ Conclusion: In the next phase of the market, making the right choice will matter more than holding many altcoins.

🎙 What Are Crypto Bluechip Projects?

Crypto bluechips are large, established, and relatively resilient digital assets — comparable to bluechip stocks in traditional markets. Examples include:

💰 Bitcoin (BTC) – Store of value, strongest institutional adoption
💰 Ethereum (ETH) – Core infrastructure for DeFi and smart contracts
🟣 Solana (SOL) – High-speed network with an active ecosystem
• Chainlink (LINK)
• BNB
• Avalanche (AVAX)
• Polkadot (DOT)

✅ Shared traits: real use cases, high liquidity, strong teams, and a foundational role in the crypto market.
