Strait of Hormuz Crisis Hits Bitcoin Mining Economics

Bitcoin miners and mining in general are in trouble. Brent crude is pushing past $113 a barrel after Trump’s ultimatum to Tehran. Energy costs are spiking and miners are directly in the crosshairs. Average production costs are already sitting at $88,000 per BTC against a spot price of roughly $69,200. The math is already bad. An energy shock makes it worse. Electricity accounts for 60-80% of miner operating costs. When oil prices surge, industrial electricity tariffs follow.

Bitcoin’s mining difficulty is set to drop about 7.5% tonight, the sharpest fall since the 2022 bear, as hash rate leaves the network and miner margins get relief.

A drop of this size often signals miner capitulation; weaker…
