On-Chain Mind: Currently, the production cost of one Bitcoin is approximately $76k.
The spot price sits around $65k, meaning the average miner's profitability is -13%.
In every previous cycle, periods when the price traded below production cost ended up being exceptional accumulation zones rather than the start of a 'death spiral'.

Bitcoin's hashrate has been declining for 287 consecutive days, marking the longest miner capitulation in history. Mining difficulty has fallen nearly 20% from its all-time high—the third-largest decline on record.
Despite this, mining stocks continue to rise.
Analysts attribute the divergence to miners increasingly shifting their focus from Bitcoin mining to AI infrastructure and services.
The CEO of MARA, the largest publicly traded Bitcoin miner in the U.S., recently said that the company's AI business is now generating significantly more revenue than its cryptocurrency mining operations.

On-Chain Mind: During the three previous Bitcoin bear markets, cohorts with a holding period of 6 months to 1 year remained at a loss for an average of 13 months.
Their return to profitability each time marked the resumption of a bull market.
The cohorts of the current cycle moved into a loss in November of last year.
This historical data points to December of this year.

Cosmostation Wallet will discontinue customer services starting September 1.
Cosmostation is a wallet for the Cosmos (ATOM) ecosystem. Some experts believe its shutdown could accelerate liquidity outflows from Cosmos and increase selling pressure on the native ATOM token.
#ATOM = -3%

The Antminer S21 XP series topped the miner profitability rankings for July
The Antminer S21 XP 270 TH/s ASIC miner model demonstrated the best profitability among tested devices for July 2026, according to a report by data center operator Intelion.
Over the past month, its profitability reached 1.12% (13.42% annualized). The top three also included the Antminer S21 PRO 234 TH/s MIX and the Whatsminer M70 222 TH/s.
According to Intelion, the mining economy in July was shaped by factors such as a sequential decrease in network difficulty and the stabilization of the Bitcoin exchange rate following a prolonged decline.
Analysts noted that the July dynamics reflect the adaptation of the network's total computing power to the changed market conditions.
