BlockBeats News, December 7 — According to the latest data released by CryptoRank, the average cash cost for mining one Bitcoin has risen to $74,600.

As the total network hash rate surpasses the symbolic milestone of 1 ZH/s, competition has intensified significantly, leading to a sharp decline in miners’ profitability.

As a result, the industry is now splitting into two main models: • Infrastructure Providers: repositioning mining data centers for high-profit computing businesses • Traditional Miners: struggling to survive in an increasingly competitive, near-zero profit environment.
